Dick,
Blind employees gainfully employed by Walmart? ? I wonder how many
employees, blind or sighted are paid a living wage by Walmart.
Of course they are no longer clerks or salespersons. They have titles
like, Associate. Sounds like they get a full share of the profits.
Associate my royal red nose.

I guess the NFB is a bit narrow in their definition of discrimination?
They recognize it only when it happens to blind people?

National Federation of the Blind Sued for Religious Discrimination by
EEOC
Advocacy Group Terminated an Employee because He Would Not Work on the
Sabbath, Federal Agency Charged
BALTIMORE - The National Federation of the Blind, the largest
organization
of blind and low-vision people in the United States, violated federal
law
when it refused to allow an employee to observe his Sabbath and instead
terminated him because of his religion, the U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit it announced today.
According to the lawsuit, Joseph R. Massey II is a practicing Hebrew
Pentecostal, a Christian denomination, and abstains from working from
sunset Friday to sunset Saturday based on his sincerely-held religious
beliefs.
The National Federation of the Blind hired Massey for a bookkeeping
position at its Baltimore office in November 2013. In January 2014,
the
Federation told Massey he had to work certain Saturdays. Massey
explained
he could not work Saturdays due to his religious faith and suggested
alternatives such as working on Sundays or working late on week nights
other than Fridays. EEOC charged that the Federation refused to
provide
any reasonable accommodation and instead fired Massey because he could
not
work Saturdays due to his religious beliefs.
Such alleged conduct violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964,
which prohibits employers from discriminating against individuals
because
of their religion and requires employers to reasonably accommodate an
employee's sincerely-held religious beliefs unless doing so would
impose
an undue hardship on the employer. EEOC filed suit (EEOC v. The
National
Federation of the Blind, Civil Action No. 1:15-cv-02484-GLR) in U.S.
District Court for the District of Maryland, Baltimore Division, after
first attempting to reach a pre-litigation settlement through its
conciliation process.
"Employees should not have to choose between their jobs and their
religious convictions when a religious accommodation will not unduly
burden others,"
said EEOC Philadelphia District Director Spencer H. Lewis, Jr.
EEOC Regional Attorney Debra M. Lawrence added, "Most religious
accommodations are not unduly costly, such as allowing an employee to
switch his schedule to observe his Sabbath. No employee should be
forced
to choose between earning a living and following the dictates of his
faith."
EEOC's Philadelphia District Office has jurisdiction over Pennsylvania,
Maryland, Delaware, West Virginia and parts of New Jersey and Ohio.
Its
legal staff also prosecutes discrimination cases arising from
Washington,
D.C. and parts of Virginia.
EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination.
