EEOC VOTES TO PUBLISH COMPLIANCE MANUAL ON RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION FOR PUBLIC COMMENT

 

Washington, D.C. Headquarters EEOC VOTES TO PUBLISH COMPLIANCE MANUAL ON RELIGIOUS DISCRIMINATION FOR PUBLIC COMMENT Document Clarifies Protections for Employers and Employees Under the Law     November 9, 2020   WASHINGTON – Today, by a vote of 3-2, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) voted to publish a proposed update to its Compliance Manual Section on Religious Discrimination (“Manual”) for public comment.  The updated guidance describes in what ways Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII) protects individuals from religious discrimination in the workplace and sets forth the legal protections available to religious employers. The current version of the Manual, last updated in 2008, does not reflect recent legal developments and emerging issues. Since 2008, several Supreme Court decisions, as well as the lower courts, have altered the legal landscape.  The revisions to the guidance include important updates to the discussion of protections for employees from religious discrimination in the context of reasonable accommodations and harassment. It also expands the discussion of defenses that may be available to religious employers.  The proposed update reflects the EEOC Chair Janet Dhillon’s commitment to providing robust compliance assistance to the public by clarifying existing requirements under the law.  The guidance will next be sent to OMB and then posted for public comment. “I am heartened by the result of today’s meeting and the opportunity to inform the public about a topic that appears likely to generate a lot of interest in the near future.  As the agency responsible for enforcing Title VII, it is imperative that we stay at the forefront of these issues to ensure compliance with the law,” Chair Janet Dhillon said. A recording and transcript of the Commission meeting will be posted on www.eeoc.gov at a later date.  The EEOC advances opportunity in the workplace by enforcing federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. More information is available at www.eeoc.gov.  Stay connected with the latest EEOC news by subscribing to our email updates.

Statement by the Prime Minister of Canada on the death of Alex Trebek

November 8, 2020
Ottawa, Ontario

The Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, today issued the following statement on the death of Alex Trebek:

“Today, we lost a proud Canadian and beloved TV star who was a familiar face to millions of people across North America and around the world.

“For many of us, Alex Trebek was a daily part of our lives. As the host of Jeopardy! for almost four decades, he hosted more episodes of a single television game show than anyone else in history. We looked forward to his quick wit and wry jokes – and the questions about Canada he’d sneak into the show.

“Alex never hesitated to promote Canada on prime time TV, and to take the opportunity to stump even the brightest contestants with questions about Canadian culture, history, and geography.

“We will also never forget the night Alex showed up without his trademark moustache. For every memorable moment on the show, millions more were made in living rooms around the world, as friends and families huddled around the TV, shouting at the screen, looking for the Daily Double.

“Alex was honoured with awards throughout his career, from Daytime Emmys and a Canadian Academy Icon Award to stars on Canada’s Walk of Fame and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He was also named an Officer of the Order of Canada for his dedication to educational, environmental, and humanitarian causes. Alex also served as Honorary President of the Royal Canadian Geographical Society.

“On behalf of all Canadians, Sophie and I offer our deepest condolences to Alex’s family, friends, and his many, many fans.”

Déclaration du premier ministre du Canada concernant le décès d’Alex Trebek

Le 8 novembre 2020
Ottawa (Ontario)

Le premier ministre Justin Trudeau a fait aujourd'hui la déclaration suivante concernant le décès d’Alex Trebek :

« Aujourd'hui, nous avons perdu un fier Canadien et une vedette de la télévision extrêmement appréciée. C’était un visage familier pour des millions de personnes en Amérique du Nord et à travers le monde.

« Alex Trebek faisait partie de la vie quotidienne de beaucoup d’entre nous. À la barre de Jeopardy! durant près de quatre décennies, il a animé plus d’émissions d’un même jeu télévisé que personne dans l’histoire. Nous avions toujours hâte de le revoir, avec sa vivacité d’esprit et son humour, et d’entendre les questions sur le Canada qu’il glissait dans l’émission.

« Alex n’a jamais hésité à promouvoir le Canada durant les heures de grande écoute à la télévision ou encore à saisir l’occasion de piéger même les plus brillants concurrents en posant des questions sur la culture, l’histoire et la géographie du Canada.

« Nous n’oublierons jamais le soir où Alex s’est présenté sans sa fameuse moustache. Pour chaque moment mémorable de l’émission, des millions d’autres se vivaient dans les salons du monde entier, où parents et amis s’entassaient devant le téléviseur pour crier les réponses en direction de l’écran et chercher les Daily Double.

« Alex s’est vu décerner de nombreuses récompenses au fil de sa carrière. Il a notamment remporté des prix Emmy dans la catégorie des émissions diffusées le jour, et a reçu le Prix Icône de l’Académie canadienne. Il a également des étoiles sur l’Allée des célébrités canadiennes et sur celle de Hollywood. De plus, il a été nommé officier de l’Ordre du Canada pour son dévouement à l’égard de causes éducatives, environnementales et humanitaires. Alex était aussi président honoraire de la Société géographique royale du Canada.

« Au nom de tous les Canadiens, Sophie et moi offrons nos plus sincères condoléances à la famille et aux amis d’Alex, de même qu’à son très grand public. »
