ACCOMODATING "APPEARANCE OF EVIL"
 
 
Two truck drivers are sometimes required to share the driving on "sleeper runs." A male employee asked for a religious Accommodation; his religious beliefs prevented him from traveling with a woman he was not married to because of the "appearance of evil" and "hanky panky." The Sixth Circuit held that the case could be dismissed because the employer's seniority system was more important than its responsibility to accommodate.
