Trans World Airlines, Inc. v. Hardison (1977) Majority Opinion (EEOC Guidelines, Religious Accommodations in Employment, Undue Hardship)
In the 1960s, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission created Guidelines that required employers to make reasonable accommodations for the religious practices of employees - as long as those accommodations do not place undue hardship on the employer. In 1977, the Supreme Court further defined "undue hardship" as anything greater than a trivial cost to the employer in Trans World Airlines, Inc. v. Hardison. Last week, the Court agreed to hear a similar case this term that asks them to reconsider that precedent. The new case is Groff v. DeJoy and it is the fourth case to ask the Court to overturn the Trans World case in recent years - which is why I decided to read the Trans World case today.
