If she had stipulated that she would not work on Sunday for any other reason, she would still have been turned down. If they are forced to hire her under those circumstances, then the law would be favoring Christians for no other reason than that they are Christians.
The problem is solved with a diversity in it's hiring practices. Meaning hire people who's holy days are Saturday and Sunday, along with the heathens who can 'float.' a day off. Not to mention it is unrealistic to expect to hire a person and never give them a day off. What is the big deal whether a person has a week day or week end day off? (When one hires from a more diverse group of people, rather than just one type or religious group?)
If they hire more cleaning people who refuse to work Sundays for other reasons, then they would be discriminating against the Christian lady. By all means, keep track of their hiring practices and slam them if they do that. Barring that, they're not being hypocritical by refusing to offer her work, and it's certainly not a sign of mismanagement to try and keep morale up among the workforce!
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
