patgundBus Driver gets OK to avoid gay-themed ads
"A city bus driver who complained about a gay-themed ad got official permission not to drive any bus that carries that ad, according to an internal memo confirmed Tuesday by Metro Transit.
Transit authorities call it a reasonable accommodation to the driver's religious beliefs.
Amalgamated Transit Unit Local 1005 officials at the bus company say it condones intolerance; besides, drivers never have been excused from other buses carrying ads they found objectionable -- from political candidates to pink bras."
My solution? Put the ad on every bus. And give the driver time off without pay for the duration of the ads. Otherwise, the driver can get over her bigoted self and drive the damn bus.
