Abstract
The article discusses a Supreme Court case that examines the circumstances under which businesses must accommodate the religious needs of employees. The case involves Gerald Groff, a former U.S. Postal Service mail carrier in Pennsylvania, who refused to deliver packages on Sundays due to his religious beliefs. After resigning and suing for religious discrimination, Groff argues that the court should overrule a previous decision (Trans World Airlines v. Hardison) that allows employers to deny religious accommodations if they impose more than a minimal cost. The Biden administration, representing the Postal Service, contends that the existing ruling should be clarified rather than overturned, emphasizing the potential undue hardship on businesses when accommodating religious practices.
