This is a terrible reading of the case edit

This does not accurately describe the court's ruling nor does it accurately describe the consenting opinion. Here is an example of why the summary of the consenting opinion is wrongly summarized. I have made the summary of the consenting opinion in bold so it is easier to find.


To be sure, some effects on co-workers will not constitute “undue hardship” under Title VII. For example, animus toward a protected group is not a cognizable “hardship” under any antidiscrimination statute. Cf. ante, at 20. In addition, some hardships, such as the labor costs of coordinating voluntary shift swaps, are not “undue” because they are too insubstantial. See 29 CFR §§1605.2(d)(1)(i), (e)(1). Nevertheless, if there is an undue hardship on “the conduct of the employer’s business,” 42 U. S. C. §2000e(j), then such hardship is sufficient, even if it consists of hardship on employees. With these observations, I join the opinion of the Court.


Justice Sotomayor said that coordinating voluntary shift swaps would be too insubstantial to be considered "undue". She never said employee hardships were too insubstantial.
