When A USPS worker signed up for his job, he was granted a religious exemption for Sundays, meaning he didn’t have to work due to it being a “day of rest.†But when Amazon signed on with USPS to do Sunday deliveries, USPS said it could no longer honor his exception — so he sued. The Law&Crime Network’s *** breaks down the now retired worker’s lawsuit and what comes next.

I’m going through this
Well what happened?
Remember when everything was closed on Sundays? It didn't matter if you went to church or not. You weren't going anywhere cause everyone was at home on that one day.
JESUS says keep Sabbath holy.
POPE says keep Sunday holy!
“The Bible says remember that thou keep the Sabbath day. The Catholic Church says, 'NO!'. By my divine power, I abolish the Sabbath day and command you to keep holy the first day of the week. And, lo, the entire civilized world bows down in reverent obedience to the command of the holy Catholic Church."
-Father Enright,
American Sentinal, June 1893.
7th day Sabbath = (Exo.20:8-11)
1st day Sunday = (Mark 7:7)
The WORD teaches 7th day is holy!
The WORLD teaches 1st day is holy!
🤔WHO DO YOU OBEYâ‰ï¸
I seem to feel the opposite of other commenters. If your religion prevents you from doing the job, find a different job
USPS will be out of business in a few years
Mr. Groff, you're a brainwashed lazy person and I'll prove it. Babies aren't born believing in a god or religion, they are born into families who brainwash them into thinking that way. Sundays aren't a day of worship or rest because a specific religion says so. You could have easily been born into a Muslim, Jewish or Atheist family. Also, you're not a very hard worker, being an auxiliary mailman in the Lancaster, Pennsylvania area for just a few years where you were a burden to your co-workers who had to take your Sunday shifts. Quit taking advantage of society's weak minds, think for yourself and start being productive.
SATURDAY IS THE SABBATH DAY, NOT SUNDAY.. DID CONSTANTINE OR THE POPE CHANGE THE DAY ?
Wow ransom went from $1 mill to $50k, what a deal!
👀
I'm keeping an eye on this…My religion sees Mondays during ski season as The Sabbath.
Just work on weekends 4 ot lol
When the company signed the agreement with Amazon they should have already assessed the current staff they had available and their ability to cover the Sunday deliveries.
This kind of religious accommodation is a curse, the more we grant them the more they ask for it. Let's bet that if restaurants, coffee shops, stores, grocery stores, gas stations, tourist spots, plane trips, etc. were closed on Sundays, he would be the first to shout that it was no good. sense. 🤬
Ok suppose that all of us refuse to work on Sundays, it would not be without consequences far from it. I was doing highway transport so to be able to reach my customers on Monday or Tuesday depending on the distance to be traveled I had to leave on Sunday, otherwise the stores, grocery stores, factories etc. could not have had what I was transporting to fill the shelves. on Monday, the companies have their materials needed to continue producing, etc. Also you have to think about returning to my starting point if I had two days on the road or even three to do then I would have had to leave my last delivery point at the most on Thursday evening and so there again there would have been a problem for customers with whom I would not have been able to load their products for my return trip.
In short, if everyone would do like him, it wouldn't just be on Sundays when almost nothing would happen, it's the whole chain.
Besides, if he wins in court then we should all claim the same thing to do, that is to declare that on Sundays we refuse to work, and if the vast majority would motivate themselves to do so we would see these religious fanatics stop their demand for unreasonable accommodation based on their religious beliefs. 👿
In Matthew it is said: Look at the birds of the sky: they neither sow nor reap nor gather in barns, and your Heavenly Father feeds them. Aren't you worth much more than them?
In short that they follow this and that they stay at home we will see if their god will provide for their needs 🤔
USPS works their slaves to the bone
Where USPS screwed up is that they did give him sundays off but then revokes that ? He’s 1 person…they need to hire more. I hope he wins !
I 100% hope that this gentleman wins his case. The main reason that USPS has had problems for a long time is that have poor management skills, in my opinion. Private business also operates under the federal and state laws that protect religious beliefs that some workers have, and they seem to figure it out to everyone’s benefit, and they just make adjustments. This man had been accommodated previously, and this should never have changed. I wish him the best, and really hope that he wins.
This is hilarious for many reasons. First, it's very hard to sue the USPS because they are Federal and there are not many lawyers who will touch cases. Second, it will takes eons for a case to even begin to be heard because, it's the PO. Third, the Unions are castrated and they cannot even begin to support this person or any others that may want to jump on board. IYKYK
Religion is wack.
LOL THAT'S WHAT YOU GET for being a sucker and buying your own, "can you hear me now (nsa) personal tracking device.
@Brian Buckmire @Teri Austin Thank you so much! 💖😊
If he does win, It will open a whole can of worms for the USPS with their other employees, which most certainly WILL harm them.
USPS has no argument. They gave him the time off and weren't super impacted. Nothing about him changed.
I wonder if it was a Muslim they did this too what would happen?
do better, usps! ✨we love you ✨
Scammers are getting more sophisticated over time, and also more pervasive. There needs to be more done about it.
Why is there post office open on Sundays anyways..? I think most post offices around the United States are closed on Sundays… There surely isn't street delivery or route delivery on Sundays…🤔
Lancaster is pronounced LANK-aster. 😇
