They chose to break the agreement and fired her for following the original agreement.

The "mutual agreement" that didn't schedule her to work on Sundays for 6+ years.

Odd that you consider an employer upholding their side of an employment agreement as "humoring."

Are they "humoring" you by paying you for your work?

What a joke. The vast majority of us have jobs that would involve going against Christianity. Should we all sue?

Not all Christian faiths prohibit working on their holy day(s).

The problem with this world is that too many think it's a nothing burger when one breaks their word. It seems like the more one breaks it, the better ones chances of becoming President. Been that way for awhile.

If your agreement before getting hired was broke, then yes. As others have noted, this is simply a breach of contract suit. She was obviously able to prove they had an agreement where they would not work her on Sundays.

Are you really against an employer/employee agreement? I have no idea what your opinion on unions are but the argument is generally to allow people to negotiate their own contracts. This lady did. Her employer broke the agreement and fired her, hence the lawsuit.

They did not have to hire her to start with. They did.

True besides that’s Old Testament law.

well, she deserved to win by how much?

Which is why I posted, first, she needs to prove her damage. Emotion has nothing to do with this.

She deserves to get her job back, maybe couple of months back pay, therapy session if she was traumatized by this.

Other than that, suck it up and deal with it.

We have large judgements to try and dissuade the actions of the business here. If the only recourse is getting your job back no lawyer would ever take the case. A business doesn't care about any agreements because the ramifications of breaking it means little to them.

So she gets her job back. What stops them from scheduling her on Sunday?
