L’articolo affronta il tema dei possibili collegamenti problematici tra le norme sull’orario di lavoro e le convinzioni religiose dei lavoratori. Dopo aver esaminato le sfumature del concetto di accomodamento ragionevole che è stato sviluppato nei sistemi giuridici nordamericani per gestire questi problemi, l’autore analizza la diversa strategia adottata nell’ordinamento italiano, concentrandosi sulle leggi di approvazione delle intese di cui all’articolo 8 della Costituzione. Infine, l’articolo prende in esame alcune delle principali questioni sollevate da una recente pronuncia con cui la Corte di giustizia dell’Unione europea ha affrontato la tematica, nel quadro del diritto antidiscriminatorio.
