Practice question
A worker protected by the religious exemption considered in Victoriano nevertheless freely chooses union membership. A manager says the exemption itself requires rejecting the worker solely because of that religious affiliation. What did the Court’s explanation indicate?
- The exemption commands a membership ban.
- It prevents compulsion but does not itself forbid voluntary affiliation.
- The manager may abolish the worker’s religion.
- The worker must first amend the Constitution personally.
- The exemption makes every voluntary choice legally impossible.
