Supreme Court backs Hobby Lobby

[donner]

If you, as an employee, found out that the boss of your 'moral' company was having an affair, should you be able to sue them for any denied compensation?

What if the company fires you a week before you're to be paid a retention bonus, simply because they don't want to pay money owed to you. Does that seem moral?

If the company acts in a way that violates its own stated religious beliefs, what should happen?

Do all moral positions need to be laid out before you begin working for a company or can they spring them upon you at any time during employment? Can those moral principles be updated and amended like Terms of Service or are they inflexible?

"Surprise, we don't support you mixing dairy and meat after all, you're fired"

by that logic couldn't one say "if you don't like the government's rules for running a business, don't open one" (or in this case, close one)?

Also, you're saying you'd be totally fine with having to go into human resources and explain to HR why you needed treatment for a UTI so that they could determine if they'd cover the costs of treatment?

No I wouldn't be comfortable with that. If that were the case I would OPT OUT OF MY EMPLOYER'S PLAN AND OBTAIN MY COVERAGE ELSEWHERE. I am under no obligation to accept the plan offered by my employer.

Yes, that's exactly what I said. And yes, that's the logic...
Or you could simply do business without the government's intrusion. If we're gonna have Uncle Sam dictate every aspect of business, right down to health insurance, why not just say ^%$ it and let the government do all of the administration?

As for the recourse about hiring immoral people according to the business.....
What do most companies do when they find out an employee lied to get hired?

So the choice is answer our questions about your sex life, quit, or pay upwards of $1400 (or whatever your costs might be) a year more for your own health coverage?

All because they want to determine if your UTI was from sex with your wife or sex with another person (if it was from sex at all)?

I'm no fan of the ACA, but it does seem like a single (govt.) payer health system would quickly fix this birth control nonsense.

As for your question. Sure, companies do fire people for lying all the time. But the question, how do you know what the company's morals are so you can avoid offending them?

Yes. My health privacy is worth that much to me.

Yes - the employer should be able to create the rules, period. Don't like the rules, see your shop steward, or seek employment elsewhere. No one is forcing you to stay. No one.

Do you believe there should be any governmental regulation of private enterprise?

 

[RidgeHunter]

I can't give birth so I never have had an opinion on this. But I do have a question; why aren't any of the women members posting on this thread? I mainly just see guys going at each other. I am truly curious as to why the females don't post on this.

You mean all two of the active women posters?

We've had guys on here before complaining about the doctor from their employer sponsored health insurance asked them a private question.
"Do you have any firearms in your house?"

I haven't seen any of them quit a job over it yet tho.

Cause I don't think the wimmins want anything to do with y'alls sausage measuring contest.
