Federal and state laws protect employees from religious discrimination — but too often, what happens on the job does not line up with the law.
In this short legal explainer, Alexander Bumbu, attorney with Pacific Justice Institute, breaks down a real case involving a Christian HVAC worker who was allegedly fired because of his faith.
Because of PJI’s national experience defending religious liberty, a Florida Court of Appeal asked PJI to submit a “friend of the court” brief explaining what the law requires when employees face religious discrimination.

- What federal and state law say about religious discrimination at work
- Why people of faith are entitled to workplace protections and accommodations
