The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled for a Christian mail carrier who refused to deliver Amazon packages on Sunday and argued that employers too easily turn down requests to accommodate religious practices.
Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 requires employers to accommodate religious practices unless it would be an “undue hardship.”
The court has been receptive to religious rights in the last few years. It ruled that a public high school football coach has a constitutional right to pray on the field after games and that a Catholic social services in Pennsylvania could refuse to consider same-sex couples wanting to care for foster children.
But the court recognized that Title VII requires undue hardship on “the conduct” of a business, she wrote.
