General Motors Rejects Mediation in Religious Dispute
CNSNews.com) - General Motors (GM) has turned down an offer from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) to mediate a dispute involving a worker who wants to organize Christian activities for employees.
Employee John Moranski, who works in the company's Indianapolis plant, filed a complaint with the commission after GM rejected his idea to form an "affinity group" for Christians. GM launched its plan for "affinity groups" in 1999 to promote diversity.
Moranski has charged that GM discriminated against him when the company denied his request for recognition of the Christian Employee Network, which he described as an "inter-denominational group."
