EEOC SAYS UPS DISCRIMINATED AGAINST MUSLIM EMPLOYEE IN ILLINOIS
Company has long history of denying religious rights to Muslim workers
(WASHINGTON, DC - 6/30/2000) - The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC) has issued a "determination" charging that Atlanta-based United
Parcel Service (UPS) discriminated against a Muslim employee in Illinois who
asked to wear a beard for religious reasons.
The EEOC determination found that UPS (www.ups.com), the world's largest
express carrier and package delivery company with annual revenues of more
than $27 billion, may have violated of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964 when it refused to promote a Muslim employee to a driver's position
because of the beard. It recommended a resolution of the incident that could
include an end to the discrimination, restoration of back pay and benefits
as well as compensatory or punitive damages.
According to the EEOC charge form, the Muslim worker was denied the position
after meeting all company requirements. He had even filled out a request for
a driver's uniform and was asked to select a driving shift. It was only at
that point that UPS supervisors told the worker he could not drive a truck
while wearing a beard.
(The driver's position offers better pay and benefits, and is less
strenuous, than other jobs at UPS. Title VII requires an employer to
accommodate the religious practices of a worker unless the company can
demonstrate an "undue hardship" resulting from the accommodation.)
The EEOC determination also said there is reasonable cause to believe that
UPS "discriminated against a class of employees...on the basis of their
religion." The charging party is one of many Muslim employees who work at
UPS facilities worldwide.
"We need your help to let UPS know that this case is important to all of us.
Please take action today," said CAIR Board Chairman Omar Ahmad. Ahmad added
that CAIR has received a number of similar complaints from other Muslim UPS
employees. The company has refused all of these requests for religious
accommodation.
