Can an observant Jew turn down work just because an event occurs on the Sabbath?

I don't know what the law is... but I certainly think he's within his rights to do that.

Under current law, an observant Jew, or for that matter anyone who closed their business on a particular day, such as a Sabbath-keeping Christian (the owner of Chick-Fil-A, for example), could not be charged with discrimination because no one is served, irrespective of their race, religion, sex, marital status, etc. However, I do not doubt that the Left will continue to “push the envelope” in these matters as their power increases.
