Supreme Court to Set New Standard for Religious Accommodations in Workplace

Legal counsel representing a Christian postal worker who was disciplined for refusing to work on Sundays says the Supreme Court is "going to change the standard" to accommodate religious Americans in the workplace. The case involves a Christian mail carrier from Pennsylvania who resigned after he said he could not deliver Amazon packages on Sundays because he observes the Sabbath. The legal counsel argues that the Supreme Court should overturn precedent that employers can deny religious accommodations to employees if they impose "more than a de minimis cost" on the business. The case will be heard on April 18, 2023.
