From the same employer, probably the same thing. I’m not aware of any requirement for an employer to honor religious holidays, though many do. The obvious problem here was his conversion, had he been an Adventist, or Orthodox Jew at the time of taking the job, he wouldn’t have been hired.

In the late 19th century the Reform Movement solved the work problem by moving the Sabbath to Sunday (they changed it back later) to coincide with the Christian day of rest.

Exactly! He wouldn't have been hired. According to the article, his former supervisor didn't have a problem with Mr. Rivera's religious beliefs. It wasn't until a new supervisor took over, that the problem started.

We're getting buried with that kind of attitude. Conform or starve.
