H.R.1431 - Workplace Religious Freedom Act of 2007 by Joel Schlachet, Jul 11, 2008 (4:30am)

This bill allows for more coverage of religious freedoms in the workplace. Supporters of the bill believe there are many instances in which they are forced to do work that is against their beliefs and now they will not have to. Opponents of the bill, including the ACLU, believe that the bill is too broad in language and will allow people to claim that anything is against their religious beliefs.
