Those laws don't come into play if someone cannot meet the requirements of the job itself. If the job description clearly states "Must work weekends," the company is not compelled to hire a person that can't work weekends due to their religious beliefs. To suggest otherwise is idiotic (which is par for the course with Drich). Otherwise, man, it'd be great if I could apply for a manual labor job, and get the job, but force the company to hire someone else to do the job because, aww shucks, I'm in a wheelchair.
And before you attempt to argue the legal aspects, know that my oldest brother is a lawyer. So you can, you know, go fuck yourself.
Religious Discrimination & Reasonable Accommodation
The law requires an employer or other covered entity to reasonably accommodate an employee's religious beliefs or practices, unless doing so would cause more than a minimal burden on the operations of the employer's business. This means an employer may be required to make reasonable adjustments to the work environment that will allow an employee to practice his or her religion.
Examples of some common religious accommodations include flexible scheduling, voluntary shift substitutions or swaps, job reassignments, and modifications to workplace policies or practices.

If someone isn't hired, there isn't an employer. The cleaner in question was not hired specifically because her beliefs made her a bad fit for the job in question, just like my disability makes me a bad fit for a manual labor position.
Are you really this dumb, or are you just playing?
