EEOC Files One Religious Discrimination Suit; Settles Another

Religion Clause Blog: “The EEOC announced last week that it had filed suit in a North Carolina federal district court against a Goldsboro, North Carolina construction company that refused to accommodate the religious needs of Seventh Day Adventist employees . . . Yesterday, in another case, the EEOC announced that UPS Freight, one of the country’s largest trucking companies, will pay $46,000 to a Rastafarian who was fired shortly after he was hired because he refused for religious reasons to cut his hair or shave his beard.”
