My religion says that my female employees have to wear burkas. Can I get right wingers on my side?

    WELL, THAT'S WHAT'S CHANGED. A GOOD COMPANY WOULD LISTEN TO IT'S WORKERS.

    There was a time they would consider all reasonable demands. Now it's go back to work or you are fired.

    The difference between workplaces is unreal. I want them all to be more tolerant and at least pretend that they care. But this generation in power takes a hard nosed Republican stand that you are replaceable so why should I give you anything? While the upper echelon makes millions. It's not right and it will lead to chaos in the streets. A little respect and a living wage. Not too much to ask for the people who toil and sweat to make you rich. If that can't be attained capitalism has failed.

    Yes. Yes you can. you can also require your employees to wear blue vests or orange aprons or baseball caps with little golden arches on them too. if they don't like it they don't have ot work there. granted your going to have a hell of a time keeping employees with that attitude.

    That's not what the ruling for hobby lobby is about.

    But I understand. You and your fellow Libs aren't too bright, nor do you bother to fact check as much as you say you do.

    Islam is not a religeon. It is a cult. However if you wanted to make a burka a uniform and had informed all employees before hiring I would support you. Americans need any jobs they can get

    In this country (USA), wearing that kind of clothing represents oppression. Maybe it means something nice in your country of origin, but not here. Here, it does not show respect at all.

    You have no face, no identity, when you wear a burka. Obviously Americans want women to have identities. I just do not understand why any woman would put up with being blanked out, faceless. It's terribly sad and out of context. Out of respect to yourself, be a woman with a face. I think God gave you the face you have, so feel free to be you.

    Whatever. Nobody is forced to work there.

    Sure.l All you have to do is convince the Supreme Court that seeing women unveiled in some way restricts your religious rights and you're in!

    Are you going to pay for them?

    Look around you... companies impose "uniform" regulations on their employees all the time.

    Well, we can give you the choice to employ whomever you want, but Burkas violate their freedom of expression. So here's a compromise!

    Allow you to hire muslim women who will wear burkas, and allow you the right not to hire regular women who do not. Hell, even affirmative action would stand up for you here... Muslim women in burkas are a minority.
