Supreme Court to Decide Religious Accommodation in the Workplace

The Supreme Court will hear arguments in a case that could change the balance of power between employees and employers over weekend schedules, dress codes, and how workers conduct themselves around colleagues. The case involves a former USPS worker who refused to work on Sundays due to his religious beliefs. The appeal raises the question of how far large employers must go to accommodate the religious needs of their workers. The case could have sweeping consequences for workplace accommodation, employee rights, and discrimination.
