Want The Sabbath Off? High Court Makes It Easier
Among its flurry of blockbuster end-of-term decisions, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled in favor of an Evangelical postal worker who objected to working on Sundays due to religious reasons. The high court held that the Third Circuit shouldn’t have found that the USPS lawfully denied the worker’s religious accommodation request, raising the bar on what kind of accommodation is so burdensome that an employer cannot be expected to honor it. On this week’s Pro Say, Law360 Employment Authority editor-at-large Vin Gurrieri walks us through the ruling, what it means for employers and the lingering questions in its wake. Also this week, the slow unraveling of federal prosecutors’ $140 million healthcare fraud case in Texas and a looming retrial. Next, we dig into 3M’s massive, $12.5 billion settlement over drinking water contamination from so-called forever chemicals, the largest deal over drinking water in U.S. history. Finally, a Mayer Brown associate is competing on the latest season of “The Bachelorette.”
