It's not a religious issue, it's a respect issue. She didn't have enough respect for her bosses to talk to them about the issue if she had such a problem with it. Again I say, they weren't controlling WHAT she ate for lunch just WHERE she could eat it.
Sheesh.
Well, there are two ways to look at it. In the legal sense, they don't have a leg to stand on and will most likely to rehire her or pay a fine or something.
But yes, I agree it was disrespectful of her, and she probably went out of her way to piss them off.
But they still don't have a leg to stand on.
Sorry guys didn't read this thread much but I fully support women getting porked at work
It doesn't matter. Her boss is unable to use religion as a stipulation to hire or fire her or to set corporate policy. She is also under no obligation to respect his religion or observe its' practices.Quote:

Just a side note, there was another site that listed some of the ova from these microorganisms could be found in pork that is well cooked. It kind of freaks me out knowing I had bacon for breakfast this morning!

DISEASES CAUSED BY PORK
The following lists show germs or parasites that are found
in pork and some diseases caused by them. Many of these
diseases are contagious while some are proven fatal.This proves
that the more science advances the more Islam is shown correct
as a religion of God.
PARASITIC DISEASES
a) TRICHINELLA SPIRATIS ( Trichina worms )
It is the most dangerous parasite to man ( Rheumatism and
muscular pain). The infected persons shown no symptoms, recover
very slowly some die, some reduced to permanent invalids. No one
is immune from this disease and there is no cure.
b) TAENIA SOLIUM ( Pork tape worm )
The worm causes malnourishment of the person leading
to anemia, diarrhea, extreme depression melancholia and
digestive disturbances. Cysticercosis means that larva enter
the blood stream then settle down in one or more of the vital
organs of the body, for example: brain, liver, lungs or spinal
cord. They grow and encapsulate, inducing pressure to the
system around, resulting in dangerous diseases (diarrhea,
digestive disorder, anemia, chronic invalidation).
c) ROUND WORMS
Examples: Ascaris, which may lead to digestive
disturbances, appendicitis, obstructive jaundice.
d) HOOK WORMS
Examples:Ancylostomiasis, which may lead to
anemia, oedema, heart failure or retarded
growth ( mental and physical), tuberculosis,
diarrhea and typhoid.
e) SCHITOSOMA JAPONICUM
Bleeding, anemia and other syndromes. If ova
are settled in the brain or spinal cord, paralysis
and death may occur.
f) PARAGOMINES WESTERMAINI
Infestation leading to bleeding of the lungs
( endenve haemoptysis)
g) PACIOLEPSIS BUSKI
Digestive disturbances leading to persistent
diarrhea; generalized oedema.
h) CLONORCHIS SINENSIS
chlonorchiasis-obstructive jaundice, liver enlargement.
i) METASTRONGYLUS APRI
Causes bronchitis, abscess of the lungs.
j) GIGANTHORINCHUS GIGAS
Cause anemia and digestive disorders.
k) BALATITIDIUM COLI
Causes acute dysentery and general weakness.
BACTERIAL DISEASES
1. Tuberculosis
2. Fusiformis necrofurus: causing foot-rot which is very
difficult to heal.
3. Salmonella Cholera suis: causing cholera
4. Paratyphoid
5. Bruceellosis: Acute, sub acute and chronic. It may lead
to permanent disabilities.
6. Swine Erysipelas: causing Erypelas in man.
Viral Diseases
1. Small pox: is was a source of infection to man.
2. Japanese B-encepphalitis: It is the source of infection
3. Influenza, foot mouth disease, gas tro-enteritis of the
new born babies.
Protozoal Diseases : Toxo plasma goundii- It is a very
dangerous diseases.A new born baby of an infected woman may die
within few days or weeks after delivery. But if he survives
he may develop blindness or deafness.In adult chronic exhaustive
fever with enlarged liver and spleen may occur. Pneumonia, or
celebro- spinal meninggitis which may lead to death or madness.
The patient may become blind and deaf too.
Fats In Pigs:
Pork contains more fats than other meats.
Therefore, people who are fond of pork are more obese than
others. Cholesterol is higher in their blood thus making them
more prone to asthereosclerosis cardiovascular accidents and
sudden death.
Other Diseases :
Flesh of the pork is hard to digest and may
lead to chronic digestive disturbances. Pimples, boils, cysts are
common in pork eaters. These are some of the parasites and
diseases found in pork and/ or the skin of pigs and certainly
there are many more. There is still no means of killing these
parasites, in the tissues, neither has anyone found a method of
expelling them, even produced any specific treatment for the
diseases.
Obviously she's under no "legal" obligation to respect their religion. She was NOT asked to observe its practices, she was asked to respect their beliefs WHILE on their premises. I do not think that it was too much to ask. I also think that if SHE did think it was too much to ask she should have said something like, "I'm sorry I cannot refrain from eating pork here. There must be some compromise we can reach over this." She failed to do that. She failed to act like a normal human being and state her grievance before acting out, then upon meeting a consequence she didn't like she then decided to sue. It's stupid.Quote:

I wonder how they even knew she was eating a BLT.
How did they know there was pork on the pizza she was eating?
I imagine this woman must act like Homer Simpson when she eats... "mmmm, bacon".
It is too much to ask. There is no compromise, what is he giving up? A catholic boss is unable to force you to refrain from eating meat on fridays during lent. A mormon boss is unable to force you to refrain from drinking coffee. A jewish boss is unable to force you to eat a kosher diet. A boss who thinks that a certain food is gross is unable to prevent you from eating it. The fault is not hers, but that of her arrogant boss.Quote:

Legally her boss was unable to fire her for this reason. Morally he was wrong to try and force his religious mores on her. In my opinion she was completely right and he was completely wrong.
Did she deserve to be fired over this? No.
Was she rude and inconsiderate to her employers by going against their verbal request? Yes.
Were her employers a little too curious about what it was their employee was eating? Perhaps.
Was she a little too obvious with what she was eating, considering she was asked to refrain from eating that food on the premises? Perhaps.
Was she the type of person who, after hearing a non-written policy such as this, decided that she would try and be the "martyr" that gets fired and sues for lots of money? Most likely.
Is this thread worth my posting in? Probably not.
Do I agree with Andaas? Mostly. Is bolding all this shit a pain in the ass? You bet!
Of course Thuggo is right. I just hate pork and am adamantly anti-pork and pork products. Please do not eat pork and reply to my posts.
Thanks.
So, the product of all of this is that, in order for her to be safe, she has to invent a new religon that demands pork consumption at every meal?
Clearly the issue here is pork, and the level of worship it deserves. Do not worship pork and suffer!
Actually, religious views aside and stepping into the dangerous world of harsh objectivism: (Insert religious insult here) are (censored by most television stations)
It's a lot easier if I let you fill in the insult. Then I don't seem so mean~
I just want to see how much money she makes when she sues the company.
Im going to go back to eating my diet of Hotdogs, Corndogs and Pork.
If i made enough money out of it and had money to blow, id open a business right across from them that only sold pork.
I dont eat pork. And it isnt for health reasons, and it isnt because I dont like it. I dont eat pork so that at least 3 times a day I think about God and my relationship with God. I think this is the deeper reasons why jewish people keep kosher, and muslims keep halal.
