Assuming they're using gloves for sanitary reasons like everyone else, I don't see why this would be an issue.

They wipe their butts with their left hand why would they put on gloves for anything?

Well Frank, the law disagrees with you. Did you actually read the link? I bet not.

I disagree with the law. I'd have thought that was obvious

Apparently, the individuals claiming discrimination have a valid claim. None of us should be subject to being targeted because someone working for our employer, or our employer decides they want to ruin our lives. It's a fairness, not religious/cultural matter. And that's what the EEOC and such agencies are required to investigate. Let the judicial system decide. That's the American way.

Sadly government meddling in the private affairs of business and ignoring property rights has become so.

Hearsay is not allowed in most courts. They, the ones filing the complaint, claim they heard the CEO say something. Unless they can provide a recording or an independent witness to verify the claim, it's not something that would normally be allowed in court. Judging by the years they worked for the restaurant, this may not be a case of religious bigotry. It may be another case of a business releasing long time employees whose salary is pretty high. Some business managers at the local and district level find it cheaper to fire long time management employees to eliminate their high pay and replace them with new management who'll be hired at a much lower salary than a 12 or 15 year employee manager. It's a fast easy cost cutting method frequently used by businesses across the country. In a case like this, the company will need to provide all employment records to the court and the lawyers for the men filing the complaint. Records include employee evaluations and any disciplinary reports or customer complaints.

What you're describing is not hearsay. Hearsay would be "my friend Jim told me he heard the CEO say....."
