Office Depot Refuses to Print Image of Charlie Kirk

[Marener]

The employee could have said that yes, but the employer still could fire the employee based on it's mission statement and protocols when it comes to servicing it's customer's regardless of their religious beliefs or their secular affiliations.

Employers are required to provide reasonable accommodation based on employee religious values.

If they fired them without providing accommodation, it would violate anti discrimination laws

But that’s just saying if it was against their religion, which, you know why not?

She is in violation of COMPANY POLICY and she got fired. End of story

Not really. There's lots more to talk about. If you don't want to participate, that's fine.

 

[Marener]

Obviously you don’t. How many are there now? You will get a myriad of answers if you ask an average Democrat.

Baking a wedding cake isn’t a religious ritual, but marriage is. Had they ask the baker to bake them a coconut cake for a dinner party, I doubt there would have been an issue.

How many religions are there?

The baker wasn’t being asked to marry them.

Wow, you watch/read MSNBC. That explains your problems.

At any rate, Office Depot fired this employee prior to Bondi’s statement.

Should a gun dealer be held accountable for selling a gun to a guy who told him he was going to kill himself with it? He wasn’t actually involved in killing the guy, right?

I listened to Bondi talk.

Your problem is you looked at the source and immediately turned your brain off.

Do you support Bondi? Do you think she was the most qualified person for this job?

No, I didn’t turn my brain off. I just pointed out that MSNBC is a joke of a news outlet that warps people’s minds. I still listened and read, thus why I made the point that Office Depot did not base their firing on anything Bondi had said because they did so prior to her statements. Nice try though.

Your opinions about MSNBC is irrelevant. So is your statement that the employee was fired before Bondi said anything.

We both agree there’s no law requiring them to print the picture so what the hell is Bondi talking about when she says the DoJ is looking into it?

It’s just more thuggish authoritarianism.

Indeed. Can someone answer this?

Bondi didn't fire the creature. Get over it

They can’t. They won’t.

BTW, yes the CHRISTIAN bakery won.
The cases would only be similar if he went into a TRANSE bakery and demanded a cake with ChRlie Kirk's image CELEBRATING his work exposing the VIOLENT TRANS COMMUNITY
Yes, the Colorado baker, Jack Phillips, won a narrow victory in his 2018 U.S. Supreme Court case, Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission, because the Court ruled the Commission showed hostility toward his religious beliefs. However, Phillips later lost a separate appeal in January 2023 concerning a ruling that he violated a state anti-discrimination law by refusing to make a cake for a transgender person's gender transition celebration.

Again, the COMPANY had no problem printing the picture. The COMPANY didn't refuse the man, service. The creature did that on its own

This thread is about employees being fired from Office Depot for not printing a picture of Charlie Kirk. They were fired by Office Depot because they violated company policy. I assume you are ok with that.

As for Bondi, I do believe she misspoke. I personally don’t think hate speech(or hate crimes) is a thing, unless it is used to promote violence. Therein lies the catch.

 

[dblack]

They can’t. They won’t.

Bondi to prosecute Office Depot worker who refused to print Charlie Kirk flyers

Office Depot fired a Michigan employee who refused to print flyers for a Charlie Kirk vigil, claiming they were ‘propaganda’

www.the-independent.com

“Businesses cannot discriminate,” Bondi said, referring to the Office Depot incident. “If you wanna go in and print posters with Charlie’s pictures on them for a vigil, you have to let them do that. We can prosecute you for that.”

Wow... Our AG is a ******* idiot. What law was broken, Pam? What crime are you going to charge this person with?

They want to turn this thread into a Pam Bondi thread. But you're right. Office Depot fired her for her own behavior.

If the "woman" owned the print shop and it violated her personal beliefs, she'd have a point, but she's an EMPLOYEE who misrepresented the company she works for.

 

[Edgetho]

Yeah....when it's something that is abundantly available it's a waste of time to argue IMO....
Reminds me of the Christian Baker case.

Not a waste of time at all.

Put a piece of shit dimocrap scumbag out of work. Now, she can sit home and blame her obesity on Trump. How fitting.

Couldn't happen to a nicer scumbag

This is just the kind of blustering intimidation (backed by no legal foundation) that Trump likes to employ. **** him. **** Bondi.
