I’m not even sure who the ’employer’ would be in this case. Many construction workers are self employed, or work for smaller companies who are contracted out blocks of work. The person running the site might not even know who is operating the cranes on any given day as far as I can tell.

Even if they knew what ramadan is, they wouldn’t know which of their muslim employees practice it.

That is true.

Most of the people who run building sites probably don’t know when ramadan is, or what is involved in it.

The people running most building sites probably don’t even know what Ramadan is.

It would be more accurate to say given what my bf has told me about his job. He’s an electrician / carpenter.

I don’t expect it’s something they even thought about, given my experience with construction workers.

I think the employee should be fired in this case. He acted irrationally, and endangered people’s lives. Religion isn’t an excuse, anyone who intentionally dehydrates themselves and operates heavy machinery should expect the same treatment.

He did it because he’s a muslim though. It’s also the reason he got away without being punished.

If it’s racial, then i’m also a muslim. I’m 1/8th Moroccan.

Does that mean that I get to endanger people’s lives with no consequences too?

From Oxford Dictionary:

“Prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior.“

Racism requires race to be involved in the conversation.

Regardless, Islam is not a race.

If the worker in question was not a muslim, and still behaved in the same way then they probably would have been reported. How can you describe this in any way except for special treatment?

Nobody mentioned race, why are you so quick to bring it up?

Dr. Drac sounds a lot better than my real name

100% of chat hosts are men, I demand equal representation!

Asking Linda for evidence of abuse is directly contradictory to thinking the Duluth Model is a good thing, and that everything counts as violence against women.

You are welcome to disagree, but I don’t see a conflict between a bully enjoying what they do, and them deliberately targeting people who they think are vunerable.

Although I don’t think they do it for enjoyment, it’s usually to feel they are in control. Usually because some other aspect of their life is out of their control.

I will one day, try and stop me.

I was simply exposing a hypocrisy in your position.
