Supreme Court Hears Postal Worker Religious Liberty Case, Decision Expected by June

Supreme Court justices heard arguments Tuesday in a religious freedom case that could have far-reaching implications about religion in the workplace. The case, Groff vs. DeJoy, involves a former mail carrier who refused to work on Sundays because of his Christian faith and observance of the 4th Commandment –to remember the Sabbath. The plaintiff, Gerald Groff, said he chose postal work because there used to be no Sunday mail delivery. When the Postal Service started delivering packages on Sundays, he sought a religious accommodation from his employer, but that ultimately didn't work. During oral arguments Tuesday, Groff's attorneys argued that religious accommodations in the workplace need to be observed, while the government insisted Groff absences created undue burdens on other mail carriers.
