NEW YORK (JTA
State and local govern-
mental human rights
agencies, whose reponsibi-
lities include protection of
the employment rights of
Sabbath observers, have re-
sponded to a mildly restric-
tive U.S. Supreme Court ril-
ing on that issue by reaf-
firming those employment
rights, the National Jewish
Commission on Law and
Public Affairs (COLPA) re-
ported.
Sidney Kwestel, COLPA
president, said the reaffir-
mation came in a resolution
adopted unanimously by the
International Association of
Human Rights Agencies, at
a convention in Baltimore.
on July 12. The association
represents human rights
agencies at the state, coun-
ty and municipal levels.
Kwestel said several hun-
dred delegates attended.
The Supreme Court rul-
ing, handed down June 16,
inferentially sustained for
the first time the con-
stitutionality of the federal
law protecting job rights of
Sabbath observers, Kwestel
said. The ruling did some-
what restrict the right of ob-
servers to time off for Sab-
baeh observance but, as
Kwestel stressed, the ruling
was in a "very narrow con-
text" which was generally
misunderstood by the pub-
lic media.

—The Tali
The case involved a
Transworld Airlines work-
er, Larry Hardison, a mem-
ber of the Worldwide
Church of God, whose adhe-
rents observe the same Sab-
bath-as' Jews. Hardison was
fired for refusing to work
Saturdays after the Inter-
national Association of Ma-
chinists refused to waive
seniority rules for Hardison
so he could be off on the
Sabbath.
Kwestel said the sub-
stance of the U.S. Supreme
Court June ruling was that
an employer cannot be ex-
pected to override a senior-
ity agreement with his
union to accommodate a
Sabbath observer.
The importance of the
human rights association
resolution, Kwestel said,.
stemmed from the fact that
while the Supreme Court de-
cided the Hardison case in
the context of a collective
bargaining agreement the
decision was widely report-
ed in the media as having
virtually gutted the general
right to time off for reli-
gious observances.
Kwestel said the resolu
tion took note of the limited
nature of the Supreme
Court June 16 ruling, re-
ferred to the dangers aris-
ing from erroneous inter-
pretations of the ruling, and
committed the human
rights agencies to reaffirm-
ing the rights of religiou
workers to equal job op-
portunity. Kwestel said the
resolution also asked affil-
iated member agencies to
urge the cooperation of
labor unions to help observ-
ers obtain their religious
rights.
Kwestel said COLPA
hoped the resolution would
allay fears of observant
workers that they would
have to choose between
their religion and their job.
Equally important, he said,
was that the resolution
would alert employers to
the fact that they remain
bound by law to make "rea-
sonable accommodation" to
their employees' religious
needs.
He said this would be a
great help to COLPA in its
on-going efforts to educate
both observant workers and
employers about the legal
rights to religious obser-
vance in employment, not-
ing that for the past 10
years, COLPA has been the
principal non-governmental
agency active in seeking en-
forcement of the provisions
of federal and state laws
protecting religiously obser-
vant workers against dis-
crimination in employment.
