Hostile Workplace Religious Discrimination
Iris is the only Buddhist in her workplace, and her coworkers continually tease her about her religion. Could this behavior give rise to a legal cause of action brought by Iris?
ANo, because the teasing is conducted by Iris's coworkers rather than her supervisor.
BYes, because the teasing may be sufficient to establish a hostile work environment under federal employment discrimination law.
CNo, because federal employment discrimination statutes do not prohibit discrimination based on religion.
DYes, because the teasing may be sufficient to establish a violation of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
