[AT] Amish restraint laws?

[George Willer]

Ted,

Your experience points out what should be obvious... a person's religion has 
absolutely NOTHING to do with his qualifications to do a certain job... 
except for the public's perception.  I've been called in to correct obvious 
screw-ups by unqualified Amish.  The customer's reaction seems to be... how 
can it be a screw-up, it was done by Amish!  It's was tempting to call 
religion into the equation by promoting corrections by a Presbyterian.  The 
only thing certain about hiring Amish... the work will be done by a WASP 
(White Anglo Saxon Protestant), and probably a poorly educated one at that.
