The Supreme Court heard oral arguments in a case involving a former mail carrier, Gerald Groff, who claimed that the US Postal Service failed to accommodate his religious beliefs by not scheduling him to work on Sundays. The lower court had ruled against Groff, citing potential negative effects on USPS operations and employee morale. During the hearing, there appeared to be some agreement among the justices that the appeals court had acted hastily. However, differences emerged regarding the need to overturn precedent and the impact on employee morale. The case is being closely watched for potential implications on religious accommodation in the workplace.
