THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!
THANK YOU!
Two outstanding people on this board came to my aid 2 weeks ago. They spent their time and effort to help me build a case of religious discrimination against my employer who I have been with for over two years. With their letters of support and the backing of the ACLU, I hope to force my employer to change their company policy and to recognize the individual spirituality that each person carries with them both at work and at home. Spiritual being is not something you turn on and off just because you change location and punch a clock for 8 hours. The subject of concern was the length of my hair and how it related to my religious doctrine. These gentlemen sighting case history, historical doctrine, and using their own expertise on the subject put together letters that were written from the heart. As I type this post the ACLU is drafting charges against my employer.
Thank You again my long haired friends your efforts and support are much appreciated and will make a difference for the employee that faces this same issue in the future.
I will keep this board up to date as to the progress of the litigation.
Bill

You're welcome, Bill! I'm just glad I was able to help.
By the way, you owe me 34 cents for postage! Hahahahaha! Just kidding!
