I make my dishwasher work any time I want, Sundays, 3 AM...

Figure it’s only a matter of time some wacko liberal 0bama judge will force me to pay, and pay backpay, my dishwasher.

She can prove her love of God by giving her $$$ to religious charities.And let's see what her lawyer does to show his/her love of God.

I assume she’s giving one tenth to her church.

Pierre was ultimately able to persuade jurors that her “sincerely held religious belief, practice, or observance” conflicted with her employment requirement to work on Sundays.

Makes the case for Muslims to get in on the religious beliefs lawsuits. - Tom

That’s one way to draw people to church.

Probably only a matter of time before she divorces you too. :-)

There needs to be more to this story. Did her initial hiring terms indicate that she had to work Sundays? Had she been promised at any point that she wouldn’t have to work Sundays?

Story seems odd to me.

“The hotel agreed to stop giving her the Sunday shifts for a lengthy period between 2009 and 2014. However, this ended in 2015 and they eventually began “demanding” that Pierre start working again.”

And that’s where they lost their case.

Usually, when you interview for the job, they tell you if you are expected to work night or weekends.

She should not have taken that job.

Sounds like a case in which the Jury needs to be found in contempt, and sent to jail for 30 days.

Maybe she actually had something in writing indicating that she would never have to work Sundays.

Change it to "Muslim" and "mosque" and I bet your tune would be different, even though it'd be the exact same legal argument.

Seems to be an excessive amount, five years wages plus legal costs perhaps, somewhere around half a million? I agree it’s a valid case but the amount seems out of line.

You realize this precedent will enable Moslems to sue for being forced to work on Friday, don't you?
