- Title
Religious Freedom isn't About Employment "Accommodations".
- Authors
KNAPP, THOMAS
- Abstract
Employers should be similarly free to hire people who are willing to do a job, and to fire people who decide that they're no longer going to do that job - even if those people claim that their very special invisible friends don't want them to. Unlike Groff, most of us don't go to court to get our religions unconstitutionally established in law as trump cards that employers must "accommodate." JULY 4, 2023 In 2019, Gerald Groff quit his job, then sued his employer for causing him "much anxiety and distress" by expecting him to show up for work and, after various attempts to accommodate his absenteeism (more than 24 missed shifts in two years), disciplining him when he didn't.
