Supreme Court signals it will make it easier for workers to claim religious accommodations
Fox News
The U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in Groff v. DeJoy Tuesday, which concerns a Christian mail worker who claims the U.S. Postal Service wrongfully fired him after failing to accommodate his beliefs about the Sabbath.
Gerald Groff, a Christian mail carrier from Pennsylvania, is asking the court to decide if he was wrongfully fired by the U.S. Postal Service after he refused to deliver Amazon packages on Sundays, which he considers to be the Sabbath. The nine justices heard from Groff's attorney, Aaron Streett, who argued that the court should overturn a 50-year-old precedent that establishes a test to determine when employers should make accommodations for their employees' religious practices.

"It's important to just stand up for what you believe," Groff told Fox News after the oral argument session.
