French Employers discriminate against Muslims, French study finds

[willman]

But you have already told us that-

 

 

 

Under the Equality Act 2010 section 19

 

(1)A person (A) discriminates against another (B) if A applies to B a provision, criterion or practice which is discriminatory in relation to a relevant protected characteristic of B's.

 

Refusing to employ a person who for religous reasons would want different holidays is a clear breach.

 

 

Like i said - impossible to prove it. He now employs Eastern European Muslims, they however must take any religious holidays from annual leave. Which i also stated.

I don't know how it is at other firms, but in my department at work, Muslims represent around two thirds of the workers.

My wife no longer works for him - but at the time she did,90% were white english.

[willman]

It's no point beating about the bush on this issue - i know several small businesses who do not and probably would not employ certain ethnic groups.The fact the people are Muslim is irrelevant to them. Most of them employ Muslims - just white ones.

Some of them also employ "ethnic non white" - just not muslim ones,which could just be unplanned.

They don't dither and fart about like we do.

 

... or wash like we do either apparently.

[Tony]

take any religious holidays from annual leave. .

 

90% white

 

willman you are a tease.

[Plain Talker]

Do Muslims not need to pray to Allah every hour or so, and do they not need a special room (the staff kitchen is apparently not good enough), so perhaps its easier not to employ a muslim.

 

Also, Muslims are notorious for crying descrimination and not having a sense of humour, and so perhaps employers don't want a misery guts in their workplace

 

way to make a sweeping statement, Stevejoe.

 

No we don't have to pray every hour or so, it's five times a day:- at dawn, at noon, in the afternoon, at sunset and evening.

 

And, so long as the area for prayer is clean, then it's permissible to pray there.

so whosn going to pay for all this praying 5 times aday
