Yes it is........Some people have ethical objections to working on Sunday. My ethics would probably stop me from ever working in a casino. It's up to the individual to find a job that suits their wants and needs; it's not up to the employer to cater to the whims of its employees at the expense of its clients or customers.
That is exactly what it is, in fact.
Well, I don't know about Canada, but in Brit there are very strict laws about this. I know because I lectured on such laws to trainees and recruits for some decades.
Whims? This sounds (as if) so right-wing it is just shocking me.
Here are just some whims which are costed directly to customers and clients:-
Rest days.
Holidays.
Bank Holidays.
All safety clothing and footwear.
Counselling.
Training.
Sickness and injury absence.
Maternity leave.
etc etc.......... all has to be costed to clients.
If you (were in a position to)start bullying hospital staff and trying to chuck them out of their jobs thru' stresses and traumas, especially over their Hippocratic oaths, then you would leave the world of justice, freedom and fairness and enter some other place.
To lose sight of our base-objectives over an issue that one is determined to enforce....... well...... there is a definition for that.
