United States Sixth Circuit

Where plaintiff truck driver's proposals to accommodate his religious belief against going on sleeper runs with females had the potential of adversely impacting other drivers, the evidence established that defendant would suffer an undue hardship in attempting to accommodate his religious belief, and the district court did not err in granting defendant summary judgment on plaintiff's claim of religious discrimination.
