A woman who was ordered to stop saying "Have a blessed day" at
work has sued her company. Liz Anderson (see link below) of
USF Logistics in Indianapolis filed charges with the Equal
Employment Opportunities Commission Nov. 9. She has been with the
company more than three years and was named office employee of
the year in 1998, The Associated Press said. But in June her
employers ordered her to stop telling coworkers to "Have a
blessed day" or be fired. She agreed to stop, but now believes
the order infringes on her religious freedom. "This was a
religious practice of hers based on her Christianity," Kevin
Betz, her attorney, said. Her employer must accommodate Anderson
"so long as to do so is not an undue hardship to the business,"
he said.
