Michael Bloomberg Signs Law Forcing More Religion on Workplaces

And guess who this new law might favor? While it was Sikhs who reportedly pushed this law, expect Hamas-linked CAIR and other Muslim organizations to view this as carte blanche to Islamize workplaces in New York City. via New York Mayor Signs Landmark Law in Support of Sikhs and Other Religious Groups.

The bill, called the “Workplace Religious Freedom Act” by supporters, would change the legal standard by which courts review claims of religious workplace discrimination by public and private city employees.

Under previous city law, employers are required to make ‘reasonable accommodations’ for the religious practices of their employees. However, employers can bypass this requirement by showing that such accommodations would impose a minimal difficulty or expense on the employer’s business. The new law, signed by Mayor Bloomberg, will still allow employers to deny religious accommodations, but only by proving that such accommodations would constitute a “significant difficulty or expense.”

A National Movement

The proposed change in city law tracks a national movement to enhance federal employment discrimination laws. Every year Senator John Kerry (D-MA) introduces a federal “Workplace Religious Freedom Act.” While efforts to change the standard at the federal level have not yet seen success, both state and local municipalities are moving to adopt a more faith-friendly workplace accommodation standard.

“We congratulate Mayor Bloomberg, the City Council, Council Member Weprin, and Speaker Christine Quinn for their leadership today,” said Sapreet Kaur, Executive Director of the Sikh Coalition. “We’re thrilled that our city is demonstrating national leadership on the issue of workplace religious discrimination. We urge our federal government to also move in this direction.”

More burdens on employers? The alternative is clear – hire wisely and avoid risk. As we noted in Workplace Religious Freedom Act to Usher in More Sharia Law, the national effort might as well be an Islamic bill:

…legislation would require employers to make reasonable accommodation in the three areas where the vast majority of religious accommodation claims fall: religious clothing, grooming, and scheduling of religious holidays.

Beyond the practical benefits to employees, supporters say the bill would send a strong message — the “new beginning” that President Obama promised the Muslim world last year — that America can accommodate religious minorities.

“WRFA would give us more tools,” said Corey Saylor, director of government affairs for CAIR. “It would be a sign to the world that America’s a land that accepts all people.”

More tools for Hamas-linked CAIR to force Islamic sharia law on Americans, led by sharia-peddling Mayor Bloomberg. How many Muslims are on his staff now?
