Kitty Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 What if an atheist refused to drive a bus with a Christian ad on it? Hmm... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MithLuin Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 It is about companies respecting the consciences of their employees. If you come forward and say, "I'm not comfortable doing this..." and the company has a way to accomodate you, something can be worked out. The company didn't say he wouldn't have to drive the bus, btw. They said he didn't have to the first day, and that he wouldn't have to in future [i]if there were other buses available[/i]. Basically, if all the buses have that ad on it, and he's a bus driver...what are they going to do? Neither they nor he control the ads. So, yes, if a busdriver complained about driving a bus that asked, "Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour?," I'd hope the company would make efforts to accomodate him, too.

CatherineM Posted January 17, 2009 Share Posted January 17, 2009 I was thinking about this while riding the bus yesterday. Our ads are on the inside, except for the buses that are painted with a company's logo all over it. There is a "birth options" clinic that has an ad on a lot of buses, to be honest, if I didn't know that they were in fact an abortion clinic, I wouldn't be able to tell by reading the ad. There are about a dozen ads on each bus, so I imagine that everyone could find at least one that offends them. I don't know how a bus driver here would be able to still drive a bus here and object to an ad on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though I never ride the bus so I really can't speak . So obviously since I don't ride the bus,somebody who does can fill me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
