CA EMPLOYERS NOT ALLOWED TO DISCRIMINATE AGAINST MUSLIM EMPLOYEES.
In California, employees come in all shapes, sizes, colors, and religions. Whether you are Muslim, Catholic, Buddhist, or Protestant, CA and federal law protect you and your religious choices. Just because your religious beliefs require you to dress a certain way or pray at a certain time, this does not give your employer a legitimate reason to discriminate against you. Firing you, demoting you, not promoting you, or not hiring you because of your religion is against the law.
Recently a meatpacking company fired more than 200 Muslim employees after the company would not give them the day off so that they could recognize Ramadan. The practicing Muslims walked off the job in protest of insufficient breaks. They had wanted their breaks rescheduled to sunset during the Islamic month of daytime fasting, in order to pray and eat. CA labor law protects an employee’s reasonable religious practices. Do not let your employer discriminate against you.
