Whether Trans World Airlines, Inc. v. Hardison, 432 U.S. 63, 84 (1977), which stated that employers suffer an 'undue hardship' in accommodating an employee's religious exercise whenever doing so would require them 'to bear more than a de minimis cost,' misinterprets § 2000e(j) and should be overruled

QUESTION PRESENTED In Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, Congress generally prohibited private employers from discriminating against an individual “because of such individual’s * * * religion.” 42 U.S.C. §§ 2000e—2(a)(1) and (2). In 1972, Congress amended the statute to specify that “religion’ includes all aspects of religious observance and practice, as well as belief, unless an employer demonstrates that he is unable to reasonably accommodate to an employee’s or prospective employee’s religious observance or practice without undue hardship on the conduct of the employer’s business.” Id. § 2000e(). The question presented is: Whether Trans World Airlines, Inc. v. Hardison, 432 U.S. 63, 84 (1977), which stated that employers suffer an “undue hardship” in accommodating an employee’s religious exercise whenever doing so would require them “to bear more than a de minimis cost,” misinterprets § 2000e(j) and should be overruled.
