#Muslim #Employee's Risk of Discipline for Taking #Prayer Breaks Was Too Speculative to Create #TitleVII Violation
In Zienni v. #MercedesBenz, (11th Cir., Dec. 22, 2025), the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected a claim by a Muslim employee of Mercedes-Benz that he had been denied a #religious accommodation in violation of Title VII.

Transgender NSA employee files discrimination lawsuit against Trump administration

This lawsuit bears watching closely!
Tania Nemer is one of dozens of immigration judges fired by the Trump administration this year. In a lawsuit filed in Washington, D.C. on Dec 1, Nemer alleges she was discriminated against on the basis of sex and national origin in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act.
In spite of receiving the highest performance rating possible during her time at DOJ, both her supervisor and the chief immigration judge there told her they didn't know why she was being dismissed. She said she never got official notice about any reasons for her dismissal.
The lawsuit says, “The President of the United States has asserted a constitutional right to discriminate against federal employees.” "If the government prevails in transforming the law, it will eviscerate the professional, non-partisan civil service as we know it." https://www.npr.org/2025/12/01/g-s1-99279/fired-worker-sues-government #DoJ #Lawsuit #Discrimination #CivilRights #FirstAmendment #Law #Immigration #Judges #TitleVII

The #Biden admin rule makes numerous changes to regulations combating #sex #discrimination under #TitleIX of the #Education Amendments of 1972, including by covering #LGBT individuals as well as strengthening #protections for #pregnant students, parents & guardians.
The admin said protecting LGBT #students under Title IX is a "straightforward application" of #SCOTUS’ landmark 2020 ruling that a similar #law, #TitleVII, barring #workplace discrimination protects #gay & #transgender employees.

EEOC Sues Over Refusal of Religious Accommodation to Christian from Vaccine Mandate http://religionclause.blogspot.com/2023/09/eeoc-sues-over-refusal-of-religious.html
This seems like an odd use of the EEOC's limited resources.
The Supreme Court's decision in Groff v. DeJoy, which made it easier to seek religious accommodations at work under Title VII, invited lawsuits like this one.
I just didn't expect the EEOC to join in.
-
There was also debate in #Groff about whether the calculus consider the effects on employees
The Court has held that "Impacts on coworkers are relevant only to the extent those impacts go on to affect the conduct of the business."
The Supreme Court in Groff also makes clear that hostility to a particular religion or religious accommodations is not the type of coworker impact that should be taken into consideration.

Title VII requires that employers provide religious accomodations to their employees unless it imposes an "undue hardship"
Previously, that was interpreted leniently as anything more than a de minimus cost
test is more now rigorous, so more protection for religious employees
[The Supreme Court adopted neither side's standard.
One wanted to keep it the same & the other wanted to incorporate the ADA undue hardship standard. ]

The second #SCOTUS opinion today is Groff v. DeJoy
It is unanimous
New standard: Title VII required unless "accommodation would result in substantial increased costs in relation to the conduct of its particular business"

A #federal #AppealsCourt has #ruled that a #KatyTexas company and #church can #deny #employment to #LGBTQ #workers without legal recourse. The 5th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals (#5thCircuit) #overturned a #lower #court's #ruling that the company, #BraidwoodManagement, and the church, #BearCreekCommunityChurch, #violated #TitleVII of the #CivilRightsAct of 1964 by #discriminating #against LGBTQ workers.
The #court determined that the two entities are not mandated to abide by #federal #discrimination law because they are #religious #organizations. The court's opinion said that Braidwood Management follows the belief among some Christians that "marriage is between one man and one woman."
The ruling is a #setback for #LGBTQRights advocates, who had hoped that the 5th Circuit would follow the lead of the Supreme Court (#SCOTUS), which ruled in 2020 that Title VII protects LGBTQ workers from discrimination. The Supreme Court's ruling was a landmark decision, but it did not explicitly address the issue of religious exemptions.
The 5th Circuit's ruling leaves open the possibility that other religious organizations could also deny employment to LGBTQ workers without legal repercussions. This could have a significant impact on LGBTQ workers, who could be #denied jobs or #fired simply because of their #SexualOrientation or #GenderIdentity.
The ruling is also a reminder of the importance of the ongoing fight for LGBTQ equality. Despite progress in recent years, there are still many challenges that LGBTQ people face, including discrimination in the workplace. It is important to continue to fight for the rights of LGBTQ people and to ensure that they are protected from discrimination.

In Groff v. DeJoy, an postal worker wanted Sundays off to observe his Sabbath, which forced coworkers to cover for him.
His employer refusedTitle VII requires that employers accommodate the religious needs of their employees unless the accommodation would impose an undue hardship
The #SupremeCourt has in the past interpreted this standard leniently: “An ‘undue hardship’ is one that results in more than a de minimis cost to the employer.”

Why wasn't SCOTUS all onboard given its record of privileging religion regardless of cost?
Maybe
One, it was a clash between two of its favorite things, religion and businessTwo, Kavanaugh observed there were religious interests on both sides, the Sabbath observer employee who felt compelled to go to church on Sunday and his coworkers who would cover him who might have wanted to go to church on Sunday.

" In the case, the U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals held that accommodating a Sunday sabbath observer by allowing him not to report for work on Sunday would cause an 'undue hardship'to the U.S. Postal Service. "
