Franks pushes for religious freedom, conscience clause in workplace

Trent Franks is cosponsoring the Workplace Religious Freedom Act:

WRFA will require employers to accommodate the religious observances of their employees as long as providing such accommodations will not impose an “undue hardship” upon the employer and the accommodation does not impair an employee from performing the “essential functions” of a job. Thus, employers would be encouraged to afford employees flexible work shifts so that they may observe religious holy days and permit employees to wear religiously required garb at work. Employers would also be encouraged to accommodate “conscience clause” objections by employees, so long as such accommodation does not adversely affect other employees or customers or clients of the employer.

It should be noted that heaps of Democrats are supporting this bill as well — it’s not strictly an Evangelical thing.

    It’s against my religion to defibrillate neocon Republicans and methamphetamine-addicted closeted Baptist ministers. Will this legislation protect my religious commitments?

    So, would that include drag, satanic frocks?
    If franks is involved there is an ulterior motive, what could it be. Should be more than just getting his do nothing name in the paper.
