Why is Muslims praying at work such a problem for you? You claim that multi-culturalism doesn't work, and yet you come out with stuff like that. It's very circular logic.

Read what I said earlier about arabic names. People do actions like that which force people having to comply by hiring a certain number of ethnic minorities.
Unfortunately, it gives those who didn't want to hire them in the first place a big grumble saying they have to do it now.
Death solves all problems. No man, no problem.Quote:

It's happened quite a few times, and yes, all it took was to change the name.Quote:

OK - I did a search and came across this study. I only briefly scanned the study and the results - but this would confirm the point you were making with regard to Arabic name.Quote:

My statement about Arabic-named Job Applicants was also a reference to a forum member who owns their own business and they also reject based on the name. So it is closer to home than you think as well.

There was a study done a while back which was posted in the local newspaper (again, a while back). IIRC, it confirmed that employers have a tendency to discriminate against people with east Asian (Chinese, Korean, Japanese, etc.) surnames whilst shifting through job applications. I can only imagine how other job applications involving "foreign" or, perhaps better stated, "undesired" surnames are similarly treated.
Yeah, because I've never heard of a pole/russian who was late for work...Quote:

which is a comment in its own right, and not an automatic reflection on another specific group, but you questioned the wisdom of preferring polish workers, so now you have an answer.
1. Never heard of what happens to an eastern euro when exposed to Vodka?Quote:

Anyway. Take a look at the working conditions in the middle east, north africa, india, etc. That's not "hard work"....? Bah, 95% of us europeans would've called in sick after the first day...
I think it still depends on the person, there may be some cultural differences but then a pole who works hard may not work very accurate, an african who doesn't work very hard may be very clever etc. And how many of you post here from work, eh? :laugh4:
Yeah and they take great pride in that. The only one who ever sat home sick was there because I told him to go home, payment on the house.Quote:
