You might be interested in checking out what the US Human Rights code says
about that, if there is one, and also checking out the appropriate labour codes
in your judisdiction. The Canadian Human Rights Code
www.chrc-ccdp.ca/preventing_discrimination/page10-eng.aspx outlines the
Canadian response to this issue and it also refers to the Canadian Lbour Code
on this matter.
In my workplace, Toronto Public Library, we accommodate for the Sabbath (both
Jewish and Seventh Day Adventist), altho the normal work week for employees
includes Saturdays .
Sometimes, in order for eveyone to be treated equally, someone has to be
treated differently.....

Subject: [ha-Safran] Shomer Shabbat and Working in the Public Library
I'm going to be relocating shortly and I am interested in working in
the public library system. Until now I have been in an academic
library and have had no problems at all with shabbat or holidays. Is
it possible for an Orthodox person in the NJ/NY area to work in the
public library system? Here in Cincinnati and N. Kentucky, I was told
that working on Saturdays is a requirement for all applicants, which
is an allowable expectation because they are not discriminating
against any specific religion.
Thanks for chiming in (anecdotal evidence will be welcomed as well!)
