Some staff pharmacists working for retail chains refuse to dispense the Plan B morning after contraceptive pill
Question:
Some staff pharmacists working for retail chains refuse to dispense the Plan B “morning after” contraceptive pill because of their religious beliefs. In another situation, Muslims and Jewish checkout clerks working for supermarket chains refused to touch, scan, or bag products that contained any pork because of their religious beliefs. Do managers have the right to force employees to take actions that are contrary to their beliefs? Should customers be unable to buy products they want because of an employee’s beliefs? Should employees be required to ignore their religious beliefs? What would you do if you were faced with these or similar ethically sensitive situations?
