scoop_90210, in what city and state is the Louis Vuitton lawsuit?
Real-brisker,
The case involved, among other things, a group of frum guys who wanted to be appliance repairmen. The problem was that Sears required, they claimed, that all appliance repairmen work on Saturday. This was absolutely not anti-Semitism, they said.
Rather, adopting the same stance as our friend real-brisker, Sears said that it was simply a business decision because Saturday is the busiest day for appliance repairs and they need everyone to work on Saturday.
Once the charges were filed, subpoenas were issued and guess what? It turns out that Saturday is not the busiest day for appliance repairs; the busiest day is actually Tuesday. Thus, the reason not to allow the frum guys off on Saturday was determined to not be a business decision.
There are government agencies and companies that work 24/7/365. It is now crystal clear that many of these firms can find 35 hours out of the 168 in any week for a frum Jew to work. From this standpoint (I do not speak of Halacha) there is no reason why a frum person could not work for the phone company or the Transit Authority or the NYPD, to name just three examples.
How many of you continue to vote for the same people (e.g. Schumer, et al.) who do nothing about this?
