Peterson was terminated for insubordination.<br />

Following receipt of a right to sue notice from the EEOC, Peterson filed<br />

a complaint alleging religious discrimination in violation of Title VII.<br />

Title VII makes it unlawful for an employer "to discharge any<br />

individual . . . because of such individual's . . . religion[.]" 42 U.S.C.<br />

§ 2000e-2(a)(1). "The term 'religion' includes all aspects of religious<br />

observance and practice, as well as belief, unless an employer<br />

demonstrates that he is unable to reasonably accommodate to an<br />

employee's . . . religious observance or practice without undue hardship<br />

on the conduct of the employer's business." 42 U.S.C. § 2000e.<br />

What do you think the proper decision should be in this case? Why?<br />

Should Hewlett-Packard taken other actions to resolve this matter prior<br />

to terminating this long term and satisfactory employee? A written<br />

response of at least 350 words would be appropriate.
