Still Waters Posted April 7, 2013 #1 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Vegans, vegetarians and druids should have the same rights at work as mainstream religious believers, according to new guidance released to bosses. The Equality and Human Rights Commission (EHRC) says that vegans could be provided with a non-leather chair in the workplace and vegetarians can legitimately refuse to clean out a fridge with meat in it. The commission has issued the advice to help bosses avoid getting sued by staff after a series of judgements by the European Court of Human Rights. http://www.dailymail...-workplace.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coffey Posted April 7, 2013 #2 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Fair enough. Shame that reading the comments on there that some people still live in the past. Sigh..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odin11 Posted April 7, 2013 #3 Share Posted April 7, 2013 vegetarians can legitimately refuse to clean out a fridge with meat in it. This here is just people being lazy. I know vegetarians and vegans that are in my culinary classes that work with meat daily. Touching meat or being by meat will not hurt them. If its against their religion then fine, but just because they don’t eat meat is not a reason they can’t do their job. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keithisco Posted April 8, 2013 #15 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Why make ANY "Religious" concessions at all!!?? It's just nonsense. If you want a job then you accept the terms and conditions given at the interview, if you dont like any part of the T&C's then you look elsewhere. Simples!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
