Supreme Court Issues Unanimous Ruling in Major Religious Accommodation Case

Labor unions representing postal workers raised concerns that special scheduling accommodations could affect co-workers and workplace operations. Groff worked as a rural carrier associate in Pennsylvania, where weekend shifts were sometimes required. In 2013, the U.S. Postal Service expanded Sunday package deliveries through an agreement with Amazon as part of broader operational changes. The Supreme Court’s ruling is expected to influence how employers nationwide evaluate future religious accommodation requests in the workplace.
