Religious Discrimination - Workplace Fairness - 2 views

  •  
    Do you ever wonder when you are able to practice your religion? Have you ever been denied a job opportunity or given rude looks because you believed in something someone else did not? This website provides a lot of helpful information regarding religious discrimination and shows how our society views it currently.

    Religion in itself is a touchy subject. Religion in the workplace is even more so. great article with very detailed aspects on major points of religion in the workplace.
  •  
    This article along with anything oriented around Religious Freedoms makes me fume. Workplace discrimination is a double bladed sword in my opinion. The employee has the right to practice religion in the workplace in many cases, but the owning entity is forced to forfeit their liberty to refuse based on their own beliefs. Duality and legality in its most primitive forms.
  •  
    I believe that we as individuals should be able to be open and free about ourselves. Religion is a HUGE part of some people's lives, to the point they live and breathe nothing but their religion. Totally not the same, but it's almost like breastfeeding in the workplace. Some people (such as myself) need to take breaks to pump,I am constantly being joked about, given rude looks, and mocked for something I chose to do as a mother, much like those who are ridiculed for being religious. We should all be able to do and be as we please.

Gender Bias in the workplace - 2 views

  •  
    This article tackles the gender bias topic in the workplace. They made the video to show the dramatic differences in the way men and women are viewed for the same characteristics or behaviors.
  •  
    It's really sad to see the difference in how men and women are treated in the work place. Women are viewed differently because of their gender and not by the job that they perform.
  •  
    Reading this shows how sad the equality is between men and women. It bases it off of gender instead of performance which is not right at all, especially with the women.

    This is a topic not talked about often but I have witnessed some bullying from other coworkers multiple times. It's not something just seen on the playground, and it should have more attention drawn to it!
  •  
    It's wonderful that people are finally starting to speak up about this issue. It's always commonly talked about among the younger generation but bullying has no age nor gender. Thanks for the link!
  •  
    I love that people are starting to speak up about bullying and realize that something needs to be done. A lot of people talk about it and see it happening, but nothing is ever done.
  •  
    It brings such joy to see people to finally speak up about bullying when often times people are either scared to or nothing is every done to prevent such a horrible issue.
  •  
    Most people think of bullying in a school environment rather than a work environment, this is a topic that people do need to be aware of and how to help prevent it in their own work place.
  •  
    Not a lot of people think that bullying happens elsewhere rather than school. Bullying can happen even in church, camps, and even at home. I hope that one day we could put a stop to this.
  •  
    I am not sure what to think about this article. Am I the only one that thinks it is a little absurd? I say absurd because it seems people are increasingly sensitive. I do not condone bullying. However, an adult should not be bullied at work. I can not think of a profession that it would actually take place. One might say well that is part of the problem. No, just because somebody can't take a joke; are they going to report a coworker to a supervisor. Too many people are too sensitive.
  •  
    Bullying can happen anywhere and we may just not realize it. Most people don't realize when someones being bullied because it's all seen as a joke.

    This link shows everything wrong with our world right now. I am constantly outraged by the wage gap, and how employers are allowed to get away with it. It blows my mind that so many people claim that men and women are CURRENTLY treated the same way, when clearly they are not. p.s i actually book marked this link on my computer, that way i can send it to anyone who disagrees.
  •  
    This has been an ongoing issue for us women since day one. inequality in employment, wages and opportunities is extremely unjust. I think the more its brought to the surface and the more we show we still haven't forgotten, we will eventually get somewhere. Just like when we all came together for women's rights on inauguration day :)
  •  
    Women's right are changing. Women's need equal opportunities in workplace and education. This link is showing us how unfair is society with females. Hopefully in the future everybody is going to be equal and we will have the same opportunities.
  •  
    It seems that for all of the changes that have been made, a lot still needs to be done. There is no excuse for our country or any other country to still be dealing with unequal rights for women. The violence is disgusting, as well as discrimination and unequal pay. Thank you for sharing.
  •  
    As a woman, I believe we have definitely come a long way. However, I believe we are not completely equal to males yet, which we should be. More changes need to be done.
  •  
    The fact that women and other people in our country and other countries have to even fight to be equal is disgusting. We are all the same and deserve to be treated the same. The fight must continue.
  •  
    It is crazy to think that in 2017 that we as humans can't treat one another the same as you would want to be treated yourself. I am not a woman but I do have a wife and daughter that I would hate/despise if they were treated any less than myself for any reason.

Tattoos and Piercings in the Workplace - 0 views

  •  
    Stretched ears, tattoos, and the legal rights people have. Good article describing worker's rights and the rights of companies to set rules and standards for their dress codes.
  •  
    Tattoos and piercings are becoming more accepted as a form of art and expression. Tattoos can't be used as a reason to fire you, but they can be used as a reason not to hire you. The number of jobs where people don't have to cover tattoos are increasing, while some hiring managers still turn their nose at tattoos.

Migrant Labor - 1 views

    This article is directed towards illegal immigrants having a say in their own labor rights. The fear of getting arrested or deported by their employer contains them from having any say on the unequal treatment. The ILRF(International Labor Rights Forum) is working towards having a protected environment with equal rights in the workplace for them, as well as non-temporary employment.

Equal Pay - 5 views

  •  
    Women deserve equal pay. On average, they are paid less than their male counterparts. It effects their spending power and what women receive in their social security.
  • ...3 more comments...

    This is a really good article because it also talks about how race affects the pay gap. Most articles I find on the topic ignore how non-white women are paid less than white women. The struggle for mothers attempting to reenter the workplace is horrible.
  •  
    A reality unfortunately, in our society. It is almost hilarious how you read on all papers when you are hired :"we are an equal opportunity employer, no discrimination of any kind..." and yet the first thing you notice is the pay you get in comparison with a man who is less qualified than you but...he is a man. And, as kat2222004 pointed, very hard for mothers to reenter the work field, the mother is not trusted anymore to be a reliable employee.
  •  
    Really good article. I saw this as I was choosing a topic to discuss in our discussion last week. I 100% agree that women should receive the same pay as men. Women are such hard workers whether it is in the work force, or for those who have to maintain a family as well.
  •  
    The 77 cent claim has been repeatedly refuted because it does not accommodate for the fact that women are more likely to choose lower paying jobs or jobs with benefits. Men on average work longer hours. Single, childless women in major cities earn more than men. Women obtain 58% of college degrees. Women are less likely to go into STEM jobs. Also statistics are easily manipulated. Watch TJ explain the wage gap https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KWAlg48fNwE
  •  
    I definitely agree with this article. Even if some people like to think this isn't a problem it definitely is. For men and women in the same field regardless of what that field is men often get the higher income than women do. My mother is a major example of this and often talks about how the men in the same department as her make more money even when they produce less work that generally isn't that good. On top of that my mother works the same amount of hours and even more than average in a given week yet still doesn't come close to the pay gap. Of course, there may be inconsistency in statistics but it is definitely still an issue to be aware of because it still exists.

    This article was extremely intriguing. It gives wonderful statistics between the gender equality differences of men and women. The hardest one I found to believe was the difference between pay of men and women in the medical profession of surgeons and physicians.
