National Origin Discrimination
In the world today, different races are free to live and work in their country of choice. In big nations like the USA that have one of the world's best economies, most companies will prefer hiring skilled labor that will support the organization to its productivity. Despite the progress, the United States has made over the years, and racial discrimination remains a big problem to solve (comission).
National origin discrimination occurs when companies or organizations are hiring; they prefer a particular race. Productivity in a company usually depends on staff a company will employ. The market world requires quality in the products for the competition to remain. Hiring skilled workers irrespective of their nationality or ethnicity is essential (comission). However, you will find an employer who will refuse to hire a qualified worker based on race or national origin. The national origin should not determine the productivity of a person once employed in an organization. Policies and strategies set for hiring a worker in a particular company should apply to all the applicants for the job, and the one with most of the qualifications awarded the job.
Moreover, most of the US citizens are Christians. Arabs or those who practice Islam face discrimination in the workplace. The employer perceives that Islam preaches against Christianity. The same way the employer will harass the employees; for instance, Arab employees would be a treat to the national security and the company according to the employer's race (Ford). This is because some of them come from countries that are in political instability due to terror attacks. Henceforth, they will end up feeling that they are not part of the other employees. The other employees discriminate against them; some will go through the discrimination, but others cannot withstand such national origin discrimination and therefore end up quitting work or fired based on their beliefs. Employment, therefore, denies the people their right to free association, breaking cohesiveness amongst them. Such employees are not even allowed to forge marriages with them.
Other employees have faced discrimination because they do not meet a particular height requirement. For sure, height is not a basis that one fails to get the job; it is evident that the employer does not intend to offer the job to the applicant because of the race the applicant. Besides, The Mexicans and Africans in the Us receive minimum wages and get the least of the posts in an organization because the employer believes that they are very inferior (Midwest New media). To that, they cannot work like equals to his/her race. The whites will get higher positions in the company.
There is a relief to this form of practice in the workplace. Various departments in the government that the issue concerns them have taken act ...

Q&A with Damon Silvers of the AFL-CIO
As workers’ wages fall, organized labor may experience a resurgence.
Interview by Adam Van Brimmer
6/23/2014
Organized labor in America is in decline. Unions
currently represent less than 7 percent of the private-
sector workforce, the lowest percentage in decades.
Those numbers trouble Damon Silvers, policy director
for the AFL-CIO. Yet Silvers anticipates a resurgence
in the labor movement as workers seek to regain
bargaining power. Falling real wages coupled with
cuts to health and retirement benefits make that push
inevitable. A federation of U.S. labor unions, the AFL-
CIO represents more than 12 million public- and
private-sector union members.
What is the greatest threat to the American
worker’s economic security?
It’s not a threat, it’s a reality—and it’s falling wages.
There are two big issues at work here. One is
essentially a policy decision to push our economy to
compete globally on flat, low wages. The other is that
plummeting wages create a country that cannot
maintain its place in the world, one that is unable to
preserve its infrastructure and educate its workforce.
That’s a scary situation because if you don’t have
infrastructure and educated workers, you go from being an economy that can make choices to one
locked into decline, or close to it.
Organized labor has long worked to protect wages only to see its influence wane. What’s
holding the labor movement back?
The American labor movement has been badly damaged by the generation-long, societal choice of
trying to compete globally through lower wages. Unions are and will continue to be an obstacle to
that strategy, as their purpose is to make sure workers get their fair share of the wealth they create.
The Great Recession has also hurt, as mass unemployment kills labor unions. Job losses not only
2 | P a g e
diminish our numbers but also damage the average worker’s ability to organize, since being out of
work or fearing for one’s job damages self-confidence.
What could lead to labor’s revival?
The issue comes down to rebuilding the collective confidence of the workforce in their own ability to
bargain effectively. The labor movement’s success going forward will come from being an effective
tool for that effort.
Where does the labor movement stand in terms of its political influence?
The numbers bounce around a little bit, but labor union household membership has remained
around a quarter of the electorate.
That’s nothing to sneeze at in terms of political clout. But the reality is it all depends on the ability of
labor unions to be a vehicle for working people to bargain for themselves. If we don’t do that, the
political power we have will not be sustainable.
How can HR professionals improve their relationships with labor and workers?
The most important thing is to be interested in having a productive relationship. Once ...

Pennsylvania v. MarkMark Davis has been charged with Driving W.docxodiliagilby
Pennsylvania v. Mark
Mark Davis has been
charged
with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) for reckless driving, speeding, four counts of felony assault, and one count of involuntary manslaughter as the result of a crash that occurred on a night out with his friends. Mark has been out on bail and pleaded not guilty when he was arraigned. The Judge set a date for Mark's trial and his defense team has been working to collect information about the technology used by the Highway Patrol to reconstruct the crash.
District Attorney O'Malley offered Mark a plea bargain, but Mark chose to take his chances at trial. Mark's attorney, Mr. Chen Long, advised Mark that accepting the plea offer was completely up to Mark, although Mr. Long advised against accepting it because the defense planned to highlight mistakes made by law enforcement during the investigation that could create reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors.
The trial begins and during the voir dire of potential jurors, several individuals are excused because they have previous knowledge of Mark's case from the media. Two individuals stated that they could not be impartial because they had loved ones
killed
in alcohol related crashes as well. Eventually, two men and ten women were seated in Mark's trial.
District Attorney O'Malley presented the State's case clearly and concisely depicting a night on the town full of heavy drinking, which ultimately resulted in Mark's actions causing the death of one individual and injuring four others. Highway Patrolman Green explained to the jury that he immediately suspected alcohol when he arrived on scene because Mark appeared to be intoxicated when they spoke. Following the Judge ruling that it was admissible and not prejudicial, Sergeant Rodney Monroe, from the Highway Patrol Reconstruction Team presented their reconstruction complete with a high-tech computer animated reenactment of the crash. During the cross examination, Defense Attorney Long challenged the reconstruction because the Defense Crash Reconstruction Expert had discovered errors in the mathematical calculations for vehicle speed. The jury appeared to have liked the reconstruction very much regardless of the errors highlighted by the defense.
Mark was convicted of DWI, four counts of felony assault, and one count of involuntary manslaughter; however, he was acquitted of reckless driving and speeding. The Jury said they could not convict Mark of those offenses because of the mistakes made by law enforcement officers during the investigation.
Because Mark pleads not guilty, but was convicted during trial and had two prior DWI offenses, he was sentenced to ten years in the State Prison. Defense Attorney Long immediately notified the court of an impending appeal that would be filed by the defendant. In a report, using external sources to support your claims, answer the following:

For any health care activity, three performance factors can be measured: structure, process, and outcome. Identify one structure measure, one process measure, and one outcome measure that could be used to evaluate the following hospital admission process:
Upon arrival, the patient reports to the hospital registration or admitting area. The patient completes paperwork and provides an insurance identification card, if insured. Often, patients register before the date of hospital admission to facilitate the registration process. An identification bracelet including the patient’s name and doctor’s name is placed around the patient’s wrist. Before any procedure is performed or any form of medical care is provided, the patient is asked to sign a consent form. If the patient is not feeling well, a family member or caregiver can help the patient complete the admission process.
Include a minimum of three peer-reviewed references, not including the textbook.
Format your paper consistent with APA 6th guidelines.

Pennsylvania v. MarkMark Davis has been charged with Driving W.docxodiliagilby
Pennsylvania v. Mark
Mark Davis has been
charged
with Driving While Intoxicated (DWI) for reckless driving, speeding, four counts of felony assault, and one count of involuntary manslaughter as the result of a crash that occurred on a night out with his friends. Mark has been out on bail and pleaded not guilty when he was arraigned. The Judge set a date for Mark's trial and his defense team has been working to collect information about the technology used by the Highway Patrol to reconstruct the crash.
District Attorney O'Malley offered Mark a plea bargain, but Mark chose to take his chances at trial. Mark's attorney, Mr. Chen Long, advised Mark that accepting the plea offer was completely up to Mark, although Mr. Long advised against accepting it because the defense planned to highlight mistakes made by law enforcement during the investigation that could create reasonable doubt in the minds of the jurors.
The trial begins and during the voir dire of potential jurors, several individuals are excused because they have previous knowledge of Mark's case from the media. Two individuals stated that they could not be impartial because they had loved ones
killed
in alcohol related crashes as well. Eventually, two men and ten women were seated in Mark's trial.
District Attorney O'Malley presented the State's case clearly and concisely depicting a night on the town full of heavy drinking, which ultimately resulted in Mark's actions causing the death of one individual and injuring four others. Highway Patrolman Green explained to the jury that he immediately suspected alcohol when he arrived on scene because Mark appeared to be intoxicated when they spoke. Following the Judge ruling that it was admissible and not prejudicial, Sergeant Rodney Monroe, from the Highway Patrol Reconstruction Team presented their reconstruction complete with a high-tech computer animated reenactment of the crash. During the cross examination, Defense Attorney Long challenged the reconstruction because the Defense Crash Reconstruction Expert had discovered errors in the mathematical calculations for vehicle speed. The jury appeared to have liked the reconstruction very much regardless of the errors highlighted by the defense.
Mark was convicted of DWI, four counts of felony assault, and one count of involuntary manslaughter; however, he was acquitted of reckless driving and speeding. The Jury said they could not convict Mark of those offenses because of the mistakes made by law enforcement officers during the investigation.
Because Mark pleads not guilty, but was convicted during trial and had two prior DWI offenses, he was sentenced to ten years in the State Prison. Defense Attorney Long immediately notified the court of an impending appeal that would be filed by the defendant. In a report, using external sources to support your claims, answer the following:
Compare and contrast the roles of the Judge, Jury, District Attorney (Prosecutor), and Defense Attorney. What ar.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

National Origin Discrimination
In the world today, different races are free to live and work
in their country of choice. In big nations like the USA that have
one of the world's best economies, most companies will prefer
hiring skilled labor that will support the organization to its
productivity. Despite the progress, the United States has made
over the years, and racial discrimination remains a big problem
to solve (comission).
National origin discrimination occurs when companies or
organizations are hiring; they prefer a particular race.
Productivity in a company usually depends on staff a company
will employ. The market world requires quality in the products
for the competition to remain. Hiring skilled workers
irrespective of their nationality or ethnicity is essential
(comission). However, you will find an employer who will
refuse to hire a qualified worker based on race or national
origin. The national origin should not determine the
productivity of a person once employed in an organization.
Policies and strategies set for hiring a worker in a particular
company should apply to all the applicants for the job, and the
one with most of the qualifications awarded the job.
Moreover, most of the US citizens are Christians. Arabs or
those who practice Islam face discrimination in the workplace.
The employer perceives that Islam preaches against
Christianity. The same way the employer will harass the
employees; for instance, Arab employees would be a treat to the
national security and the company according to the employer's
race (Ford). This is because some of them come from countries
that are in political instability due to terror attacks. Henceforth,
they will end up feeling that they are not part of the other
2. employees. The other employees discriminate against them;
some will go through the discrimination, but others cannot
withstand such national origin discrimination and therefore end
up quitting work or fired based on their beliefs. Employment,
therefore, denies the people their right to free association,
breaking cohesiveness amongst them. Such employees are not
even allowed to forge marriages with them.
Other employees have faced discrimination because they do not
meet a particular height requirement. For sure, height is not a
basis that one fails to get the job; it is evident that the employer
does not intend to offer the job to the applicant because of the
race the applicant. Besides, The Mexicans and Africans in the
Us receive minimum wages and get the least of the posts in an
organization because the employer believes that they are very
inferior (Midwest New media). To that, they cannot work like
equals to his/her race. The whites will get higher positions in
the company.
There is a relief to this form of practice in the workplace.
Various departments in the government that the issue concerns
them have taken action. There are federal laws set in place for
the workers, citizens and employers found taking part in
national origin discrimination.one, the immigration and
nationality act (INA) that protects individuals from workplace
discrimination based on their citizenship and protects the
immigrants from document abuse (commission). These laws
protect them from all the immigration issues. Two, Title of the
Civil Rights Act 1964, this federal law protects the employees
from other nationality upon national origin discrimination; it is
the code that sums up all the difficulties that individuals might
face. The individuals could face them while being hired fired,
payments and layoffs based on their national origin. It is thus
the responsibility of both the affected and the US patriots to
fight this backward behavior at work.

3. Contemporary Issues in Employment Law
The Employment At-Will Doctrine dates all the way back to
1884. A famous quote from Payne v. Western & Atlantic
Railroad, 81 Tenn. (1884)
“Men must be left without interference……to discharge or
retain employees at will for good cause or for no cause, or even
for bad cause without thereby being guilty of an unlawful act
per se. It is a right which an employee may exercise in the
same way to the same extent, for the same cause or want of
cause as the employer.”
https://www.law.upenn.edu/journals/jbl/articles/volume3/issue1/
Summers3U.Pa.J.Lab.&Emp.L.65(2000).pdf (Links to an
external site.)This passage is very similarly worded today, on
the NCSL website:
At-Will Defined:
“At-will means that an employer can terminate an employee at
any time for any reason, except an illegal one, or for no reason
without incurring legal liability. Likewise, an employee is free
to leave a job at any time for any or no reason with no adverse
legal consequences.
At-will also means that an employer can change the terms of the
employment relationship with no notice and no consequences.
For example, an employer can alter wages, terminate benefits,
or reduce paid time off. In its unadulterated form, the U.S. at-
will rule leaves employees vulnerable to arbitrary and sudden
dismissal, a limited or on-call work schedule depending on the
employer’s needs, and unannounced cuts in pay and benefits.”
https://www.ncsl.org/research/labor-and-employment/at-will-
employment-overview.aspx (Links to an external site.)
Naturally, as the economy grew in the United States and jobs
4. became more prevalent, so did our workforce, the Employee.
When employees began to organize or unionize, Employers were
bound to negotiated, collective bargaining agreements which
required them to have just cause for disciplinary action or
termination, as well as procedures in place for employee
grievances.
Exceptions to the Doctrine began to develop in the late 1950’s
and continued to the 1980’s. New Jersey recognizes two of
these exceptions. They are the Public policy exception and the
Implied Contract exception. In the 1960’s however, two
Federal legislatures went into effect in order to protect
employees from wrongful termination. They were the Civil
Rights Act of 1964 and Title VII.

Currently, I have a diversified staff of Class 1 (Full-time 40hr
salaried & part-time 20hr), Class 5 (Hourly Student), and Class
4 (Casual at-will) employees. I also have three Aligned
Supervisors and I am considered a Non-Aligned MSPC manager.
That is roughly a total of about 100-125 staff, the number
fluctuates based on students who come and go as well as my
Class 4 employees. The Class 1 employees are all part of a
union and so are the supervisors (different unions of course),
the Class 4 casuals are not a part of a Union and neither am I. I
have approximately 14 - Class 4 (Casual) employees out of the
100-125 total staff.
Casual at Will employees make $12.00 per hour, and are strictly
limited to 19.5 hours per week, and it is a 9 ½ to 10month
position. The process for onboarding is grueling, not just for
us (the employer) but also for the person applying. Application
gets filled out online (step 1), we invite them to attend a New
Hire Workshop (pre-requisite to being hired), to view a
5. presentation and talk a little about some of the jobs that they
may be doing (step 2). Suppose we would like to extend an
offer, they sign a conditional offer letter, get moved to finalist
in ROCS (our internal hiring system), next they get sent a
Background check link via email, they must complete the link
within 3-5 days or the link expires (then we have to request
another one from HR and hope the potential new hire submits
it). Once the Background check clears, we then schedule a
physical exam at Occupational Health. They must pass the
physical then fill out the New Hire paperwork and wait to be
cleared to start work. This process can take up to 3-4 weeks.
Their appointment is good through December 31st, then we
must give them a re-appointment letter that will begin on
January 1st, if we would like to re-appoint the person. If we
decide to end termination early, we must schedule a pre-term
conference explaining the reasons why we are ending their
appointment early. Things are always documented, these
employees are evaluated at 30, 60, & 90 days. If they make it
six months, they are eligible to apply for a permanent part time
position.

In my opinion, there is too much controversy about the
employment at-will doctrine. I feel that at-will employment has
its pros & cons.
It is very challenging to onboard and retain an employee in this
classification for the simple fact that it is 19.5 hours per week,
no health benefits, no paid vacation. At least, they are eligible
to earn sick time through NJ Earned Sick Leave Act (NJESL).
It is also economical from a P & L perspective. Someone can
work in this position for years, if they choose to. Believe it or
not we have a lot of tenured Casual employees who are content
in this position and do not mind it at all. I always plan for at
least 1 or 2 employees not to make it. It does not mean they are
not stellar employees’ it may simply mean they found a
permanent job elsewhere and I can’t fault them for that, hold
6. them back, nor can I promise to make them permanent or full-
time. That I believe, would be an Implied-Contract exception.
In my role, I am a non-aligned (not in a union) no limit, (not
eligible for OT) Manager. I live in New Jersey, so at the end of
the day I am At-Will. I do not have a contract. At the same
time, do I think I have job security, yes and no. Why? Yes,
because I am good at what I do, and I am consistent. No,
because I do not think any job is secure and we are all
expendable.

Now Hiring! But not if you have dreads.
Overview
To begin it is important to distinguish between race and color
discrimination because although the two forms of discrimination
are used interchangeably, they are not the same. Race
discrimination is when individuals are treated unfavorably
because of their race or characteristics associated with their
race. (EEOC, Race/Color Discrimination). Whereas, color
discrimination is unfavorable treatment based on an individual’s
skin tone. (EEOC, Race/Color Discrimination). Legislation has
evolved in an effort to protect individuals from this type of
discrimination, but discrimination does not go away until
society, not just law, has evolved. One of these legislative
evolutions is Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which
protects against “employment discrimination on the basis of
race and color.” (EEOC, Facts About Race/Color
Discrimination).
Illustrative of this notion of color and race intermingling with
discrimination in the workplace is EEOC v. Catastrophe Mgmt.
Sols.. The EEOC represented Chastity Jones, who applied to
work for Catastrophe Management
7. Solution
s. Her employment offer was rescinded by CMS because she
refused to cut her dreadlocks which violated the employer’s
grooming policy. The district court dismissed this case for
failure to state a claim, to which EEOC appealed. The appellate
court stated that dreadlocks were not an immutable
characteristic for black persons, an immutable characteristic
would be an inherited physical characteristic. (U.S. Court of
Appeals for the Eleventh Court).
The EEOC defines immutable characteristics are skin color, hair
texture, or facial features. (EEOC, Facts About Race/Color
Discrimination). EEOC gave an example of a “no-bread”
employment policy may be considered discriminatory if the
policy is not related to the job and consistent with the needs of
the business. (EEOC, Facts About Race/Color Discrimination).
This idea is somewhat consistent with EEOC v. Catastrophe
Mgmt. Sols. because there is an employment policy in place
requiring an employee to remove a portion of their racial
character. But when does the line need to be drawn and to what
point can an employer fire or be selective in the hiring process
because of an individual’s race or color or characteristic
8. associated with either?
Opinion Statements
I think the answer to my last question, is more than ever as a
society we need to draw the line. We cannot keep letting
employers dictate whom they can hire or fire because one
person has a beard or dreads. In the example of EEOC, the case
was dismissed for failure to state a claim, but how does an
employee or perspective employee state a claim. It is not likely
that an employer will outright say that an employee’s dreads or
beard are the reason they will not receive a position or will be
fired. When a society is able to hold employers accountable for
the actions then maybe the judicial system will also hold
employers accountable. A quick judicial evolution will
hopefully lead to a different outcome than that in EEOC, an
outcome where discrimination based on race and/or color will
not be tolerated in the workplace.

OVERVIEW
Living in America with so many different religions can be
9. complex in the workplace. One thing that can help with dealing
with religion in the workplace, is that business owners should
implement policies and classes to educate managers and
employers on how to deal with religion in the workplace. For
some people, their religion is the most important thing in their
life. Without any clear religious policies, business owners put
pressure on management and leaders to make free-styled
decisions, which sometimes leaves employees with hurt feelings
that can potentially end up in a lawsuit, which can go on for
years.
Described in the article, Religion in the Workplace: What
Managers Need to Know, it explains how a clothing company
named “Abercrombie & Fitch” discriminated on a woman
wearing a headscarf, that symbolizes her muslim lifestyle. It
was later proven that a senior manager blocked her from being
hired and the woman won the lawsuit. The article goes on to
say that, “The reason: he (the manager) said the headscarf she
wore as a symbol of modesty in her muslim faith clashes with
the store’s dress code” (Gerdeman, Religion in the Workplace:
What Managers Need to Know, pg. 2). This is not a reason not
to hire someone that doesn’t meet store dress code, it states
under title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, “It’s illegal to
fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual because of
such individuals race, color, religion, sex or national origin”
10. (Gerdeman, Religion in the Workplace: What Managers Need to
Know, pg. 2). Business owners and leaders must rethink some
of their brand practices because it might be discrimination
towards certain workers.
Some people may look at this issue as being unfair because
some companies want a specific image of their brand. Senior
lecturer at Harvard Business School, Derek Van Bever explains,
“Employers need to understand that where that runs into trouble
is when their business prerogative conflicts with a persons
fundamental religion” (Gerdeman, Religion in the Workplace:
What Managers Need to Know, pg. 2). You have to be
accommodating to people’s religious rights. You don’t have to
agree with a persons beliefs, but must attempt to be reasonable
and compromising. Bever goes on to say, “If an employee can’t
work on the Sabbath, the employers should see if someone else
could cover that day” (Gerdeman, Religion in the Workplace:
What Managers Need to Know, pg. 3). To avoid messy court
disputes, taking peoples religion into consideration can prevent
pointless settlements, you can’t just say you won’t hire someone
because they have a hat on their head. “You have to prove to
the court that you heard the employee out and you made an offer
of reasonable accommodation” (Gerdeman, Religion in the
Workplace: What Managers Need to Know, pg. 3).
Compromising work policies for religious dress codes is a law.
11. In the article, U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission, it explains the law as “Religious
accommodation/dress code and grooming policies…an employer
must reasonably accommodate an employees religious belief or
practice…such as a Jewish yarmulke or a Muslim head scarf
(U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, pg. 2).
Employers must make reasonable adjustments for employees
religion in the work environment, business owners should also
make sure managers and employers are properly trained and
know the American laws so that they can make better decisions
when dealing with diversity and religion.
OPINION STATEMENT
Employees help businesses become successful and diversity
grows the business to higher levels. There was a point in my
life when I became very judgmental of people who practiced the
Muslim religion, so I can understand how people can sometimes
judge people based on their beliefs. The more I educated
myself and got to personally get to know people who were
Muslim, I realized I was wrong. You shouldn’t judge innocent
people for a few others actions. My opinion on Muslims came
when I learned that the people that caused the attack on The
World Trade Center, were Muslim. I was still a kid living in
New York at the time of the tragedy, hearing how thousands of
innocent people perished angered so many people and according
12. to the media, Muslims were to blame, so my idea of the
religion, was completely biased and fear based. Playing in the
NBA however, I got a chance to play with two Muslim players.
They were the nicest and most welcoming people I have ever
met. I was invited to their homes and got to meet their families.
They had a lot of respect and discipline that was like nothing I
have ever seen before. One of them actually became a mentor
to me and would constantly give me advice on life and how to
appreciate every opportunity. The other Muslim player was
from Turkey and would tell me so many stories of growing up
there, an 80% Muslim country. I was interested in traveling
there and when an opportunity presented itself to play
professionally in Turkey, I jumped on it. It was one of the best
decisions I’ve ever made in my career because I got to
experience the Muslim culture on another level. All of the
domestic players were Muslim and they all welcomed me as part
of their family.
My teammate from Turkey that played with me in the NBA,
Hudo Turkalow, was revered as somewhat of the “Michael
Jordan” in Turkey and because of him, they televised every
NBA game and I was able to watch every one, while being in
Turkey. I was shocked to see how many NBA fans Turkey had
and they actually knew the players names in the NBA. They
even knew me and my stats; my complete background and
13. accepted me being Christian as well. With this experience, I
understand how important it is to not discriminate in the
workplace, we can learn a lot from each other. This ultimately
is an example of an NBA employee taking the NBA and helping
it become global, growing diversity through a broader audience;
taking the profession to another level.
