Posted by Orange Blossom Special on Sun Sep 29 12:53:10 2019, in response to NYC bans calling someone “illegal alien” or to say you’ll call ICE on them, if motivated by hate, posted by Olog-hai on Sat Sep 28 14:59:19 2019. MTA officials demanded an Orthodox Jewish transit worker prove he observes Rosh Hashanah for “a religious reason” in order to get the holiday off, union officials said Friday.Benjamin Schaeffer, a 22-year MTA transit worker, was initially denied permission to take off for the Jewish new year, according to Transport Workers Union Local 100. A supervisor then granted Schaeffer the holiday, but told TWU Local 100 veep Eric Loegel that Schaffer would need to submit documentation within 5 days to prove he’d actually observed the holiday or he’d be marked as “AWOL.” “This smacks of anti-Semitism, and is definitely anti-worker,” TWU Local 100 said in a statement. “What kind of railroad is MTA Chairman Pat Foye running? Schaeffer followed MTA regulations by asking for the day off three weeks in advance, and the MTA had granted Schaeffer the holiday every year prior without issue, union reps said. *** ******** Hang on. THIS IS THE CITY THAT ALLOWED THE MALAYSIAN PM TO GIVE A HATE SPEECH JUST DAYS PRIOR, RIGHT? |
