from an evangelical Christian mail carrier in a case that could force employers to do more to accommodate the religious practices of their workers., 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.
Initially Groff was not asked work on Sundays, but the situation changed starting in 2015 because of a requirement that Amazon packages be delivered on that day. Based on his request for an accommodation, his managers arranged for other postal workers to deliver packages on Sundays until July 2018. After that, Groff faced disciplinary actions if he did not report to work.
Solicitor General Elizabeth Prelogar, representing the Biden administration, urged the court not to overrule the precedent but acknowledged that some lower courts have interpreted things in a way that is too favorable for employers.
