\u201cReligious rights are not second-class rights, but rather part of our nation\u2019s first principles.\u201d \u2013 Acting Chair Lucas https:\/\/t.co\/T3OD6aTw1e<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/RhF13TjEYW<\/a><\/p>\n

The EEOC had alleged the \u201cVenetian retaliated against employees who opposed these acts of religious discrimination. In some cases, the denial of accommodations led to discipline, denial of promotion opportunities, and discharges or constructive discharge.\u201d<\/p>\n

Religious accommodations<\/h2>\n

EEOC Acting Chair Andrea Lucas lauded the resolution of the case, stating: \u201cReligious rights are not second-class rights, but rather part of our nation\u2019s first principles.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a news release, Lucas outlined what she termed \u201ca reasonable accommodation\u201d<\/a> for employers to make in the workplace would look like.\u00a0<\/p>\n

not punishing anyone who speaks out in favor of these rights\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u201cAllowing certain days off for Sabbatarians or Buddhists and allowing beards for Orthodox Christians. It also means not punishing anyone who speaks out in favor of these rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

The federal body has the power to investigate and prosecute cases against corporate firms, labor unions and employment agencies over workplace discrimination.\u00a0<\/p>\n

More dues to pay<\/h2>\n

Terms of the settlement mean the Venetian is compelled to train all staff on worker rights and employers\u2019 obligations relating to religious accommodations.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The resort must also employ an independent third party to monitor its anti-discrimination policy, complaint handling, and compliance for three years.<\/p>\n
