"N.J. justices add religion jokes to workplace ban"

ADVERTISEMENTS

"N.J. justices add religion jokes to workplace ban": In last Friday's edition of The Newark (N.J.) Star-Ledger, Kate Coscarelli had an article that begins, "Making jokes and comments about a person's religion can create a 'humiliating and painful environment' and be a form of on-the-job discrimination, the state's highest court ruled Thursday. The New Jersey Supreme Court said remarks about someone's faith -- even as a form of ribbing or 'breaking of chops' -- cannot be tolerated in the workplace."

You can access last Thursday's ruling of the Supreme Court of New Jersey at this link.
