MUSLIM DRIVER NOT ENTITLED TO LONGER LUNCH
 
 
A Muslim driver requested a longer lunch break on Fridays in order to attend prayer services. His employer permitted him to bid for another schedule; two were available which would enable him to attend services. The court found that the issue is not which Accommodation is better; the question is whether the employer's Accommodation is reasonable. In this case the offered Accommodation was reasonable because the employer did not want to violate the collective bargaining agreement.
