Kroger sued for allegedly firing workers who refused to wear rainbow symbol

That's an easy check.

Why would they make that mandatory?

And there will be no point in appealing to the Supreme Court now after they lose.

It’s fact. Supreme Court was already conservative majority. And now they one liberal down. Easy case for the workers

There should be an alternative apron for those against it, not just using the employee name badge to cover the symbol like the article says.

In my opinion, which doesnt weigh much, if it's not the new official Kroger apron, I wouldn't wear it either. I wish my hospital would say some shyt like wear a rainbow lanyard...


I hope they get paid.

Violation of religious freedom. Kroger's way out of line for that. Whatever happened to just showing up and doing your job? Work shouldn't involve politics or social pandering.

They are going to get money in Trump's America, but its a bit obvious they are doing the most and omitting details. April 2019; New Uniform. May/June 2019; Fired.

“The complaint alleges retaliation on the part of Kroger, arguing that other employees who simply did not wear the apron or who covered the heart symbol were not disciplined and were treated more favorably than Lawson and Rickerd,” the Democrat-Gazette reports.

I don't like how Repubs are expanding the civil rights bill of 1964 to build on their agenda instead of actually advocating for Black folks and ensuring we are not being discriminated against.

Let me follow this case to see what happens because Kroger has a compelling argument. When you work for a company, they are liable for your actions while you are on the clock.
