I recomended this book.
Its a squel to the time machine by Wells.

I thought that was a Snooki or Kardashian?:06:

Wo ist Der Yubbameister?

What law might that be? I see a opportunist going after deep pockets. And of the mentality of the party? Mentality is not on trial. Double standard is.

Well since it is labour laws then that would be the National Labor Relation Act.
Since its a hearing for constructive dismissal which you Americans call constructive discharge in law it would be the section of labour law which deals with that.:yep:

National Labor Relations Act? Dismissal of who? Deen. What is on trial here is the use of a word. The dismissal of Deen is the aftermath. This is about money. If it was truly about correcting a wrong why is 2 million being sought? If this was someone living check to check it would not make the news. The human psyche love to see those at the top come tumbling down. The woman will be crucified for using a derogatory word yet she is being judged by those that certainly have used derogatory words in their own right.

You are mixing 2 issues.
Two very simple issues.
1. constructive dismissal. Seems clear cut, employees shouldn't have to put up with dumb rednecks, being a employer who is a dumb redneck strongly suggests that the bigotry will lead to illegal discrimination against your employees
2. getting dismissed for being a dumb redneck. Engaging in conduct that is detrimental to the interests of your employer

Employment usually is.
Business usually is.
Since this is about employment and business then of course it is about money.

You are a hoot Tribesman!! Dumb rednecks? Is this any different than a dumb N(word)? Double standard friend. The R(word). Let's call them white trash and crackers while we are at it. :up:

I don't approve of such language in the workplace or anywhere else. But it happens and by all walks of life.

It is about money. Meaning deep pockets that someone wants to get into. Not the first time someone with deep pockets was sued for any shred of evidence that a suit could be filed.

Also, I understand there might be some sexual harassment. That is a color of a different horse.

Read the last part of post#29 to get the point.

But this is all about the workplace isn't it.
I can call a bogwog "soup" in the street, if I call him "soup" in the workplace then that is another matter entirely.

Same horse, it is covered under the same legislation dealing with discrimination and harassment in the workplace

I do not believe we will see eye to eye on this case of money only suit.

If you don't mind me saying, that is because you seem unable to focus.
Separate the issues and deal with them individually, then put them together for the whole picture.

For example when you wrote......

If the constructive dismissal case was only about Bubba being a lecherous git and didn't have the racist element in the complaint and didn't have his sister dropping herself in it at the hearing would you be as quick to say it is all only about an employee trying to grab some money?

Refer to post #54

Yeah, ain't that the truth. This whole situation is blown out of proportion, and is a sad commentary on the mentality of the general population. Say N***** and the world will demand you lose your vocation and any other benefits of life. I do not approve of derogatory language, but isn't it funny how freely people throw out the F-word, without regard to other people? I find the F-Word easily as offensive as the N word, but no one thinks twice about offending me (and others with a modicum of class). :shifty:

It is certainly blown out of proportion.
Has anyone said she can't work or have any benefits of life?

Did a court order that her and bubba must close their business and stop employing people?
All that happened was one of her employers has decided to not renew her contract
If she feels she was unfairly treated by her employer she can take it to court under the National Labor Relations Act.....just like her employee did.

Poor Paula, now she will have to manage living only on those millions of dollars she already has and the millions of dollars she will continue to earn on her cookbooks.

If you grew up in the South, especially in the time frame that Mrs. Deen did, and you have never used that word then something is seriously wrong. This whole situation is absolutely ridiculous. It's not like she called someone "n----r" on TV or something. It's all about something that happened years and years ago. It's like crucifying someone because they called someone else a "caca doodie head" back when they were five.
