I remember once in my more trusting years, a roommate explaining to me that it is actually legal for certain types of employers to descriminate based on religion. He brought up the fact that the LDS church does this all the time. He noted that when you hear commercials on the radio for companies that are hiring, they always make sure to note that they are an equal-opportunity employer. If it was a legal requirement for all companies to be equal-opportunity, why would they have to make that distinction on air? I honestly don't know now. I've been looking at this site: http://www.eeoc.gov/ ...and I haven't found any laws so far that say, specifically, that an organization such as the LDS church cannot legally discriminate against job candidates based on their religion. If you were a state or federal agency, it would totally be illegal. A religion, though? I just got Daniel C's message while I was typing this. It seems to support my roommate's claims so far. -- Joseph http://blog.josephhall.com/ /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
