In fact, selling Movados I would pass them along to other sales reps, because I didn't want customers coming back and blaming me when their watch crapped out in 3 years.

If an interacial couple walked into a store and you said "I cannot in good conscience perform this sale, but I have arranged for an official who is qualified and willing to do so to be here at the appointed time"
They would walkout and youwould get fired.
This man is an old style racist and that's it. This is the same schtick we've seen for years, it's getting old.

Re: US Judge Selects Work based on Clients Race
People shouldn't be fired for that. It's just stupid, not grounds for firing. If an employee ridiculed someone based on their ethnicity that would be fireable, but not refusing service. If an Islamic woman refuses to sell goods to a man based on her beleifs, should she be fired? Or should she instead be allowed to help women?
Obviously if your abstentations begin to outnumber your usefullness firing is an option, but not because of the cause of the odd instance.
Stop trying to make everyone think the same way and accept the same things. Support conscience clauses for whatever reason.
This is a case of the thought police coming to get you.

Re: US Judge Selects Work based on Clients Race
My grocery store would fire someone if they refused to check out someone due to race.
I'm not forcing anyone to do anything, you're just being obtuse for the sake of obtuse.
The goverenment should not employee people who discrimante based on race. The man can live his life any way he pleases but he shouldn't be employeed by a governement that has "justice for all".
Besides 1984 refrences are the last bastion of a weak mind.

Re: US Judge Selects Work based on Clients Race
By the hells, yes she should!!
That's a clear case of "not doing the job for which you're hired". And if you're not doing the job your boss hired you for, of course he should be able to fire you, anything else is ridiculous.
Still maintain that crying on the pitch should warrant a 3 match ban
Re: US Judge Selects Work based on Clients Race
Should have been fired on the spot, who the hell does he think he is.

Wow, between that and the couple getting 6 months for killing their children, I'm left wondering. Is there any state of law in America, or is any public servant allowed to do whatever comes to his mind according to his own petty beliefs?
Re: US Judge Selects Work based on Clients Race
THOUGHT POLICE!
Who needs laws? We have the constitution! That's all we need....well my interpatation of it, your interpatation is WRONG

If it's against the man's conscience to marry interracial couples, he shouldn't have picked a job that makes it his obligation to do so.
It would be slightly different if gay marriage were to be legalised and preople who had been doing this job for years were uncomfortable with it.

Anybody know if that decision was appealed against?
