Someone could just decide they need to skip work to pray all day. No one would dare ask questions because if the religious aspect. The employer sure wouldn't, because she or he wouldn't want to be accused of discrimination.
Hmmm, I see your point. Well, considering that it appears there is a majority of senators who are hostile to the original bill and considering we're not in a good period for all the administration part of the senate until the election of the senate, I'm withdrawing my amendment.

I reiterate the question poised by, I believe, Senator Lief. Is there really a need for this in the present Atlasian environment?

Well,
I understand Hagrid, Lief and Talleyrand's concerns, but, even if unions are powerful, why not an additional protection? Tongue

People aren't working long hours in Atlasia anymore anyway. They can take advantage of the generous vacation days already available and use them on religious occasions.

Yes, this is my position as well, hence, I don't see any need for this bill.

Well, I motion for a final vote. A majority of the senators seems to be against it because they believe this protection isn't needed. I obviously disagree but I understand.

This has enough votes to fail.

Senators have 24 hours to change their vote.
