The views and opinions expressed here are the commentators' own and do not reflect the official position of Atheist Republic.

On January 13th, the US Supreme Court agreed to consider a case of religious discrimination filed by Gerald Groff. Groff, a Pennsylvania mail carrier, sued the postal service in 2019. Being an evangelical Christian, Gerald refused to take shifts on Sundays. Initially, he was reassigned to a branch that had no Sunday shifts to accommodate his needs. However, the new branch also started assigning him Sunday shifts. He was told to find co-workers willing to take his Sunday shifts, but his co-workers became resentful of the extra shifts. The post office implemented a “no exceptions” rule pertaining to Sunday shifts, which Gerald ignored. He did not show up for more than two dozen assignments. Gerald eventually quit the job and sued the postal service. The court ruled that Groff was treated no different than other employees and that “Sunday service was necessary to the Post Office’s business.”  The court sided with the Postal Service, noting the 1977 case, TWA vs. Hardison, which ruled that employers do not have to offer religious accommodation if it created an “undue hardship” on the employer. Groff’s lawyers appealed the decision stating that “No American should be forced to choose between their religion and their job.” It is assumed that Gerald’s lawyers will try to get the Supreme Court to overrule the judgment.
