SCENARIO 3 Three months after coming to work for Steel 3) Bank, Jon joins a religious group whose Sab- Scenario bath is on Tuesdays. Members of the religion are not to work on the Sabbath. Jon refuses to work on Tuesdays. He is terminated. Jon sues the employer, alleging religious discrimination. The em- ployer defends by saying that (1) Jon was not of this religion when he was hired, (2) Tuesday is not a valid Sabbath day, and (3) any religious group that cele- brates a Sabbath on Tuesday is not a valid religion and the employer does not have to honor it. Are any of the employer's defenses valid? SCENARIO 3 Three months after coming to work for Steel 3) Bank, Jon joins a religious group whose Sab- Scenario bath is on Tuesdays.
