John W. Whitehead, President of The Rutherford Institute, Addresses Corporate Counsel on Faith in the Workplace
Faith in the Workplace: Finding the Balance for 'Sincerely Held Beliefs'LAS VEGAS -- John W. Whitehead, president of The Rutherford Institute, will be appearing at the 16th Annual Jackson Lewis Corporate Counsel Conference taking place in Las Vegas, Nev., to address corporate counsel with employment, labor, benefits and immigration law responsibilities on the topic of "Faith in the Workplace: Finding the Balance for 'Sincerely Held Beliefs.'"
During the "Faith in the Workplace" general session, which will take place on Thursday, May 12, 2005, Whitehead, along with two other legal specialists, will discuss how corporations can find the balance between employees' reasonable expression of faith or beliefs and management's legitimate goal of controlling solicitation and distribution at work; to what extent an individual must be allowed to proselytize at work; what the necessary accommodations are under federal and state anti-discrimination laws to avoid charges of religious discrimination; and how an organization can be sure its diversity programs and religious policies comply with applicable law.
The Rutherford Institute is an international, nonprofit civil liberties organization committed to defending constitutional and human rights.
