The driver upset about all the LGBT stuff in the workplace. I’d be upset too, very upset. But “offensive” is in the eye of the beholder. After all, some people get upset with seeing an American flag on the wall. Others get upset with seeing a “Merry Christmas” sign.
I hate to say it, but the UPS is a private company, on private property. So I doubt if the driver has a legal remedy here.
Private company or not, they have to uphold the law and the Constitution. - because the LGBT pervert stuff IS a form of religion being forced on us.
SMDH.
UPS is a public company beholding to the shareholders.
The only way to change UPS’ politics is for the majority of the shareholders to demand it
When any organization - private or otherwise - preaches and trains against sexual harassment, the main theme is to remove anything and everything creating a hostile work environment. What’s good for the goose and also good for the gander, and they ought to be held to account for playing favorites.
“UPS is a private company, on private property. So I doubt if the driver has a legal remedy here.”
Private companies still have to abide by Federal Labor Laws. Let UPS tell an employee she can’t work because she’s pregnant. Or blatantly condone, or participate in, sexual harassment. Or pay $10 under minimum wage. They can’t get away with it.
To the contrary, since the UPS "states that it supports the United Nations’ “Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights,” which strictly guarantee “social and cultural freedom,” and the right to be treated “with dignity and without discrimination” regarding religion and sex," then UPS must act according to its premise.
Of course, when what is "offensive" is not based upon a common definitive source - which the Bible was at the least implicitly commonly held to be - but is subjectively defined and thus employs ambiguous language ("objectionable," 'bigoted," "hateful"), then either everything that one finds objectionable must be censored or else the protection is rightly manifest as being a double standard.
In practice, as with forums, what qualifies as allowed or forbidden is based upon the "sole discretion" of the autocratic judges of such.
In this case, UPS is practicing the promotion of a form of ideology in which protected status in civil rights is based upon how one feels, and with that being a basis for morality and gender, and that this fosters a healthy society. Which is simply contrary to reality. If a consensual Christian practice such as praying together and taking part in the Lord's supper was responsible for over 80% of new HIV cases among men, and greatly a increased incidence of other infectious diseases, and of premature death, including by suicide, and primarily for almost 800,000 American deaths, what you think the reaction would be to it?
The problem then is with SCOTUS affirming LGBTQAI+++. If this was 1940 German, by your reasoning, if the company promoted the gassing of Jews then being a private company, on private property, then since “offensive” is in the eye of the beholder, the driver would not have a legal remedy.
Meanwhile the union itself was exposed as being hypocritical.
There are no private companies anymore, not if the government can dictate who you can hire and not hire, who you can fire and for what reasons, what prices you can charge, and whether you can or can’t sell YOUR business to a competitor.
I hate to say it, but we are no longer a free country.
