Law and Religion Religious Expression in the Workplace and the Contested Role of Law, (Hardcover)

The role of religion in the secular workplace can be an area of controversy where some employees strongly desire to express their religious beliefs in ways which may bring them into conflict with their employers. The book considers what is meant by religious expression by individual employees before looking at different principled responses to workplace religious expression within a liberal state. The book analyses the law in England and Wales in order to determine the extent to which freedom of religious expression for the individual enjoys legal protection in the workplace in England and Wales, and whether or not there is a case for changing the law to strengthen that protection.
