The Supreme Court on Thursday made it easier for employees to seek religious accommodations in a case involving a lawsuit brought by an evangelical Christian mail carrier who asked not to work on Sundays.

The case involved a claim brought by a Pennsylvania man, Gerald Groff, who says the U.S. Postal Service could have granted his request that he be spared Sunday shifts based on his religious belief that it is a day of worship and rest.

His case will now return to lower courts for further litigation.

Oh great. Just giving religious people more power, if I worked with this man, I'd be claiming I need Sundays off too "due to my religion" when in reality I'd just be getting a guaranteed day off. Obviously that won't end well if abunch of people do it so idk why they're humouring this one guy

Mail isn't delivered on Sundays anyway. The only reason they'd be in is for an Amazon package contract. It's a bullshit understaffing problem. No full time carrier should be working a Sunday unless someone in management fucked up.

The article calls him a "noncareer employee" and an "auxiliary mailman," so I don't know what he was doing on Sundays, but it wasn't full time.

There's also the issue that USPS DID accommodate him for 4 years and then changed their mind. I would be upset if my employer capriciouly changed the terms of my employment to my detriment too.

Amazon delivers Sundays and it's through an arrangement with the post office.
