UPS fires woman for 'being Muslim'

Oh, boy. Here we go again:

"TORONTO, Sept. 9 (UPI) -- A Muslim Canadian woman claims she lost her job scanning boxes at United Parcel Service Inc. (NYSE:UPS) because she refused to hike up her long skirt to her knees."

Okay. So she had been working for UPS for two years only having to pull her dress up mid-calf, and all had been peachy in the garden. But you know what -- on-the-job safety is a BIG issue with the parcel industry. Take a glance at the carts they use to move large amounts of boxes around, and you can see that mid-calf won't cut it -- long dresses are too easily grabbed by the wheels.

So UPS revamped their safety rules. Suddenly, the woman's fired for her religion. Not surprisingly, her case wound up in the Canadian Human Rights system.

Honey, you should have taken it up with the union. Now you're yet another statistic in the insanity that is Muslim hypersensitivity and the further erosion of REAL rights.

Nice one.
