Reply To: Companies that Make Employees Work Saturdays

For what it’s worth, it looks like making employees work every Saturday can equal discrimination.

In the case of Louis Vuitton, the person who is suing had worked at the company a long time and had been allowed to take time off work for temple. Then an Iranian lady became the new manager. The Iranian Lady had a problem with the employee taking time off for temple and apparently made comments that offended the Jewish employee.

Nest thing, the Jewish employee calls the company’s headquarters in New York. After that the manager learns about the employee’s phone call and then institutes a policy requiring the Jewish employee to work every Saturday. This policy allegedly was enforced on all employees.
