Sabbath Showdown: US Workplaces at Stake in Supreme Court Case

Former USPS letter carrier Gerald Groff will ask the US Supreme Court to require employers to be more accommodating of religiously observant workers, including a right to skip shifts on the Sabbath and still keep their jobs. The case has the potential to transform workplaces across America. Groff resigned in 2019 after his boss would not excuse him from Sunday shifts to observe the Sabbath. The USPS says Groff's refusal to work Sundays imposed a significant cost on operations. The Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in the case on Tuesday and issue a decision before the end of June.
