Should Employees Be Allowed To Pass On The 'Good Word' At Work?


Title: PREACHING THE GOOD WORD AT WORK-BY DAVID ARMSTRONG, FOX NEWS ONLINE (3/15/00)
PREACHING THE GOOD WORD AT WORK-by David Armstrong, Fox News Online (3/15/00)
The phrase, "Have a blessed day," rolls off Liz Anderson's tongue easily and frequently. The devout Christian and grandmother uses the phrase on the phone, at the grocery store, and even to co-workers and customers at the Indianapolis office of USF Logistics, a freight shipping company where she has worked since 1995.
But when a client from Microsoft received a company e-mail from Anderson with her signature phrase attached, he complained. Anderson was then told by her boss to stop using the saying in company letters and e-mail, but she refused.
When she was told she could be fired, she filed a complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, charging that USF Logistics discriminated against her by forbidding her to observe her faith in the workplace. Both parties are waiting for a ruling.
