Discriminatory Practices
Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA), it is illegal to discriminate in any aspect of employment, including:

hiring and firing;
compensation, assignment, or classification of employees;
transfer, promotion, layoff, or recall;
job advertisements;
recruitment;
testing;
use of company facilities;
training and apprenticeship programs;
fringe benefits;
pay, retirement plans, and disability leave; or
other terms and conditions of employment.
Discriminatory practices under these laws also include:

harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age;
retaliation against an individual for filing a charge of discrimination, participating in an investigation, or opposing discriminatory practices;
employment decisions based on stereotypes or assumptions about the abilities, traits, or performance of individuals of a certain sex, race, age, religion, or ethnic group, or individuals with disabilities; and
denying employment opportunities to a person because of marriage to, or association with, an individual of a particular race, religion, national origin, or an individual with a disability. Title VII also prohibits discrimination because of participation in schools or places of worship associated with a particular racial, ethnic, or religious group.
Employers are required to post notices to all employees advising them of their rights under the laws EEOC enforces and their right to be free from retaliation. Such notices must be accessible, as needed, to persons with visual or other disabilities that affect reading.

Note: Many states and municipalities also have enacted protections against discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation, status as a parent, marital status and political affiliation. For information, please contact the EEOC District Office nearest you.

Are you listening to yourself? lol this is getting more and more funny as we go along.


Like I said... you can disagree with the law, but the law is there to protect people.

Did you mention religion to her? No, you said you needed weekends off.

You've got the weekend and religion so wrapped together in your head you can't see what's plain to everyone else. It wasn't your religion she was objecting to...it was the hours you were available. That you're not available due to your religion is your own business and doesn't enter into it at all.

Quakers don't apply to be marine snipers then say "Oh but I can't actually shoot anybody."

Don't be dumb.

Okay well you can't work a bunch of those hours because of your religion/life happenings whatever. So, you're trying to tell everyone here that they should have bent over backwards and change everyone else's schedule to fit you in. They would have told you no no matter what your reasons were for not working the weekends. If they need certain hours filled and you apply but can't do those hours, they have every right to pass on you.
