Supreme Court to hear major religious rights case on April 18

The Supreme Court on Tuesday released its oral argument calendar for March 20 through April 26 as it marked dates for arguments in major cases, including an ex-postal worker’s suit claiming he was denied religious accommodations.

Justices will hear arguments on April 18 over a dispute brought by a Christian employee who claimed that the Postal Service failed to live up to his request to opt out of working Sunday shifts.

The case, Groff v. DeJoy, was brought by former postal worker Gerald Groff, whose managers arranged for other workers to deliver packages on Sundays until July 2018, when he began to face disciplinary actions if he did not come to work.
