The appeal briefing is now complete and we await a decision by the EEOC Office of Federal Operations (OFO).
At the ACLJ, we’re celebrating a monumental victory for religious liberty in the workplace! After months of intense legal battle, the United States Postal Service finally agreed to honor our client’s religious convictions by exempting him from Sunday work requirements.
