answers 0:Saw a job posting in a dental office in a town next door to ours; I happen to be left-handed. Thought it was kinda' strange that they can discriminate towards left handers but are OTHERWISE an EQUAL opportunity employer. It doesn't seem right.answers 1:First, you need to realize that not all discrimination is illegal! There are many sorts of discrimination that are perfectly lawful -- such as a pharmacy chain not hiring people with visible tattoos (yes, that's true -- the HR manager is a friend of mine). Further there is the legal discrimination which may appear illegal but is not -- an airline requiring pilots to be at least 5'10" tall, which clearly results in their refusal to hire almost all women no matter what their qualifications. The airline issu! e went to court, and the airline was able to prove that the minimum height was required for a person to physically reach everything necessary for safe flight, so the height requirement was an "essential element" of the job. The airline won. Why an office would choose to discriminate on whether a person was right-handed or left-handed I do not know, but can tell you that is NOT one of the catagories that would fall into the area of illegal discrimination under statutes....answers 2:That is discrimination and is illegal.answers 3:excuse my mispell, in your words, juvenile.answers 4:Completely legal. Being left handed isn't a protected class.answers 5:EVERYONE should be in a protected class FYI.. As far as the airlines, a woman can wear high heals and meet the height requirement, yes? My husband works at a software co. where the owner does not hire smokers. He says it is because smokers are unhealthy and costs him more in healthcare, yet his healthcare covers nothing to date! seeing the deductibles are in the thousands! Bully employers ! should be punished. No one wants to work for someone that discriminates. Why is it that it's only the minorities and gays that are protected?...answers 6:as it would discriminating --> then i think its illegal (should challenge the employer lol)they have not right to do so unless its an appropriate explanation --> which i cant think of!answers 7:Choosing to not hire a left-handed person is obviously not discrimination. As long as they have a legit reason why they want a right-handed employee, it's perfectly legal. Maybe the office is set up in such a way that it hinders the work of a left-handed person and they do not have the means to reorganize their office.What you are choosing to ignore is the fact that business owners do have a right to choose which individuals are a good fit for their company. They are the individuals putting their name out there to pay you a paycheck. That has nothing to do with bullying and everything to do with they are the business owner and t! hey have free reign to *gasp* run their own business. Nothing in this world says that it has to be liked by you or anyone else.Everyone discriminates. You might want to hop off that judgmental pedestal and re-read everything you wrote. This is nothing but a discriminatory rant against business owners that choose to run their companies the way they see fit and because YOU don't agree with it, they are bullies?To compare your left-handedness to the struggles of protected classes is petty. I don't see hate crimes against left-handers, or lynchings. I don't see statistics that prove left handers are discriminated against on a daily basis. You failed to mentioned the truly handicapped as they are protected too. Are you trying to say that left handers are more deserving of protection than individuals that struggle with deformities and physical disabilities? Very juvenile in my opinion....answers 8:If someone is willing to work then they should not be discriminated against! whether left-handed, right-handed, overweight, skinny, blonde, brunett! e, have tattoos, earrings, are gay, straight, different colors, etc., so don't talk stupid. I am old enough to be your Mom and know discrimination. Prorky, you have a lot to say yet probably no friends by how you say things to people you do not even know. I do not smoke but do not think that people that do should be shunned. Many people that smoke are hard workers. You must believe that people's rights should be taken from them in this country. That is a wrong way of thinking and well, in your works, juvenile....answers 9:It isn't right! I am right handed but it should not matter wether or not i use my left arm more than the right.....i think as long as a person can write neatly it shouldnt matter...
