Tampa Bay Delivery Service, LLC will pay $50,000 and furnish other relief to settle a federal religious discrimination lawsuit brought by the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC).
The unnamed Christian employee requested to take Sundays off to attend worship services, but his employer scheduled him anyway.
When he reminded the dispatcher that he could not work on Sunday due to his religious beliefs, the company terminated him for failing to show up to his shift.
The EEOC argued the delivery service violated the Civil Rights Act of 1964 which “prohibits discrimination based on religion and requires employers to reasonably accommodate an applicant’s or employee’s sincerely held religious beliefs unless it would pose an undue hardship.”

Tampa Bay Delivery Service will designate a religious accommodation coordinator and provide training for managers and dispatchers to prevent religious discrimination and accommodate requests.“We commend Tampa Bay Delivery Service for working collaboratively with EEOC to resolve this lawsuit,” said Robert E. Weisberg, regional attorney for the EEOC Miami District. “The company’s willingness to address EEOC’s concerns will help in preventing future employees from being forced to choose between employment and a religious belief.”“We encourage other employers to follow Tampa Bay Delivery Service’s lead and review their religious accommodation policies and practices to ensure that workers are not denied opportunities due to their religious beliefs,” added Evangeline Hawthorne, director of the EEOC’s Tampa Field Office.

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
