America’s Supreme Court weighs religious accommodations in the workplace

When gerald groff took a job as a pinch-hitting mail carrier for the United States Postal Service in 2012, his strict observance of the Christian sabbath posed no problem. But after the USPS started doing business with Amazon a year later—delivering the internet giant’s packages every day of the week—those Sabbatarian commitments became an issue. Mr Groff’s rural-Pennsylvania bosses found ways to accommodate him for a time, but colleagues grew weary of taking his shifts and he was instructed to report on Sundays. Mr Groff refused, drawing letters of reprimand and suspensions. Eventually, in 2019, he quit.
