Due to caps on amount that can be awarded in federal cases, she will see nowhere near that amount. This decision will hardly send a message to corporations.

Still, after all the legal fees are settled, she'll get around $500K, a nice nest egg for a dishwasher.

Bottom line, they hired her when she stated that she couldn't (or wouldn't) work on Sundays.

They accommodated her for 6 years. Thus, this wasn't an issue for the company at all to schedule her every week with Sundays off - or allowed her to switch days with another co-worker.

New manager came in and forced her to work on Sundays. Sorry, this is on the company. If she was a dishwasher, pretty sure they could have found another one . . . at the beginning . . . who didn't have an issue working on Sundays. "Thank you for applying maam, but we really do rotate our employees to work on all 7 days of the week." How simple was that?

Good for her to sue them. Next time, perhaps, they'll make their employment conditions crystal clear.

Good for Ms. Pierre.
Every once in a while corporations pay for the abuse that inflict on millions.

She will only receive a fraction of that amount, but still quite a bit.

Who says Christianity is under attack?
Jesus does

Why do so many of you resent the judgement? Because you’re too scared to fight for your rights, you shouldn’t resent those that are willing to fight.

Blame yourselves for your own cowardice.

No, Jesus does - in the Bible - it's that thing that holds God's truth, you should check it out sometime

This appears to have nothing to do with Christianity, not really.

LMAO...what truth does it hold?

“Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear, and with sincerity of heart, just as you would obey Christ.”

That truth?
