The Court held that an employet's showing that a requested accommodation conflicts with seniority tules is ordinarily sufficient to show, as a matter of law, that an "accommodation" is not "reasonable;" however, the employee remains free to present evidence of special circumstances that makes a seniority rule exception reasonable in the particular case.
