I'm guessing there was an established pattern. I don't know...but if I had a day I absolutely couldn't work, I'd mention it prior to being hired. Not to mention, it doesn't just require Saturdays off. It also means she has to get home before sunset on Friday. Have you seen how dark it gets lately? Does that mean when winter hits, she gets to leave work early, too? Did the Dodgers know of Koufax’s needs prior to hiring him? I’m guessing there was an established pattern.

If the Brooklyn/LA Dodgers respected Sandy Koufax's wishes on which days he could not pitch (one of those days was the opening game of the 1965 World Series), I think the City of Dallas could do the same. Besides she can work on Sundays when I would guess those of other religions would like off. Let’s respect this person’s religious beliefs.
