And who gets to decide what those are? That's a power you like the judiciary having?

The left loves civil rights unless those rights are invoked by Christians.

I do like to mix a little truth into my sarcasm.

The court decides. We use the reasonableness standard in every legal field. This isn’t a new development, again.
Most states also have laws that mirror the federal employment laws, so you have quite a fight on your hands if you want to abolish all labor protections.

charlie kirk thought so and i didn't even know how much damage it was causing in this country until he pointed it out.

Hell yes, we have for a long time. It's a horrible intrusion on our freedom to associate.

So? That means it's a good thing?
We have a shitload of welfare programs too, so you'll have quite a fight on your hands if you want to abolish (or let's be honest, even reform) welfare. So I guess we shouldn't even criticize it on a message forum dedicated to political topics.

So how would that stop people from suing because of hinderance of their 2nd amendment rights during hunting season? Or a tower climber not being hired because fear of heights? Don’t look at this as a litigation lawyer trying to make a buck off a phucked up system but rather logically speaking in rational

I worked retail, and working Sundays just goes with the territory. Everyone knows this going in.
IMO, if your religious beliefs bar you from working certain days, then maybe you should rule out places of employment that need employees 7 days/week. Military, firestations, police stations, and hospitals don't close on Sunday or any holiday.

Of all the issues to get riled up over, requiring employers not to discriminate against employees based on their religion is pretty low on my list.

Personal freedoms are a low priority for a lot people who post here. It's not something I'd celebrate.

According to current US law? Yes. I provided a link directly before your post where this is specifically listed on the EEOC's website as
a specific example of an accommodation you MUST make.
There is no way that there is a bright line legal rule that an employer must give Jews Saturdays off.
The test, as you pointed out, is whether the [potential] employee's request can be reasonably accommodated, which will depend on the facts of each particular case.

It will also depend heavily on the judge and his/her/zher politics.
I don't know why anybody would want that.

Bring back blue laws. I'm only half serious.

I actually do think it is a good idea for Christians to start actually fighting to be given the same accommodations given to everyone else.
If it is going to exist, we need to use it. If that's a problem, okay. Let's get rid of it for everyone.

True. It is an example of an activity that is protected by the EEOC. The real problem is that it is on the employer to prove why the request wasn't reasonable. Good luck with that.
