A business has a backlog of orders and to meet its deadlines, management decides to run the firm seven days a week, eight hours a day. One of the employees, Abe Placer, refuses to work on Saturday on religious grounds. His refusal to work means that the firm may not meet its production deadlines and may therefore suffer a loss of future business. The firm fires Placer and replaces him with an employee who is willing to work seven days a week. Placer claims that by terminating his employment, his employer has violated his constitutional right to the free exercise of his religion.

EXPLAIN HOW YOU THINK THE COURTS WILL RULE ON PLACER’S CLAIM?

1 answer

I think the courts will rule in favor of Placer. The business could work longer than eight hours a day and let Placer be free to celebrate his religion.
