Supreme Court's Upcoming Decision on Religious Liberty in the Workplace.
TL;DR Summary
The US Supreme Court will hear the case of a former postal worker who refused to work on Sundays due to his religious beliefs. Gerald Groff, a Christian, argued that he could not deliver packages on the Lord's Day, but the Postal Service said his demand for Sundays off meant extra work for other employees and caused tension. Groff's case involves Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits religious discrimination in employment. The law requires employers to accommodate employees’ religious practices unless doing so would be an “undue hardship” for the business.
