Hexorg ( @Hexorg@beehaw.org ) English10•2 years agoThe article is behind a paywall so I can’t read it all. Does it sound like the law has potential to be abused? Religions are not formally defined because that’d open a whole another can of worms. Can someone claim rummaging through a cash register - their religious ritual?

From the article:
the court clarified Thursday that an undue hardship is “shown when a burden is substantial in the overall context of an employer’s business.”
Sounds like it doesn’t matter how much other employees are burdened, just the business overall. That said, yes, the ruling seems to have lots of potential for abuse.

keeb420 ( @keeb420@kbin.social ) 1•2 years agoIt has the potential to be abused but well see. The case was about a postal worker who was being forced to work on Sundays, against his religous beliefs supposedly. I kinda feel his claim as I would imagine he wasn’t forced to work on Sundays prior so doing this is a change in his job description.
