My discussion Post....

The Case I found was Karma S. Vs. Dr. David J Shulkin, Department of Veterans Affairs Agency.

Karma worked as a registered nurse and nursing tour coordinator at the Agency's VA Medical Center in Fayetteville, North Carolina. October 2015 she filed an EEO complaint saying that the company discriminated against her on her disabilities as well as age and religious beliefs. From 2013 up until the lawsuit the chief nurse denied her requests for religious accommodations to not work on Wednesday nights, Saturdays and Sundays.

The courts' final decision concerning her equal employment opportunity complain alleging employment discrimination was amended because they found that she did not demonstrate that she was subjected to discrimination or denied accommodation.

With that being said I think the courts' decision was pretty fair because after all, she was a nurse, so I feel as though she knew the career path that she chose would require her work at all times and days.
