UPDATE: The Supreme Court ruled unanimously in favor of Gerald Groff, the former USPS worker who sued his employer for not reasonably accommodating his observance of the Sunday sabbath, Thursday.
Rather than overturning the precedent in Trans World Airlines v. Hardison, the court held that its own use of the de minimis standard in that case has been misinterpreted to mean employers don’t have to prove “undue hardship” to deny accommodations.
