Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The right that was violated is the right to equal treatment in the workplace. Walgreens was not accommodating Ms. Williams' religious beliefs as they had a duty to do so under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Ms. Williams was entitled to reasonable accommodations for her religious beliefs, and Walgreens should have found a way to accommodate her even if it meant finding someone else to work on Sundays.
