1130, Companies become responsible for many parts of employees lives. Safety in the workplace immediately comes to mind. A fair wage and working conditions such as the required number of hours an employee has to work are responsibilities of the employer. Healthcare insurance furnished by an employer is considered a part of the wage of an employee and if promised at the time of employment is a responsibility.
This decision by the Supreme Court in favor of Hobby Lobby opens up never before privileges to companies to negate any responsibilities including any of the above mentioned. As Justice Ginsberg stated “This decision opens up a minefield”
Precedence has been set for a company, solely on the basis of religious beliefs, to deny anything to an employee.
Hobby Lobby was described as “a closely held company” but precedence is that it is a company with religious privalidges. Any company can argue based on this decision it is closely held with religious privalidges.
A company could legally ,based on this decision, discriminate on the basis of your marital status.
Yes this is a mind field and the Supremes have set you right out in the middle of it.
If you are not satisfied with the possibility of working for a company run by a person like we see every day on the TD Religion Forum, too bad, it’s too late.
