  1. okay, I think I know how to make this work,
  2. I don't know, I look washed out, but anyways,
  3. my case was on the hobby versus unemployment appeals coming uh florida,
  4. So this happened in Florida obviously.
  5. Um so it was argued December 10 of 1968 and decided a little over a year later
  6. from when it was argued.
  7. Um It was decided by this court, I'm not going to say something, mike butcher it.
  8. And then the location was the florida Department of Labor.
  9. So the cases that are similar to this are these two here.
  10. Ah These did not happen in florida has happened in other states.
  11. Uh these cases lost,
  12. like the state one I should say.
  13. Um Which they, those cases were also mentioned in this case. Um
  14. So yeah
  15. the background, you could read this if you want, but I'm just gonna explain it.
  16. So that's Paula
  17. girl here, she works at this jewelry store in florida,
  18. so she was
  19. just working not to a church, like she hadn't um converted yet or anything,
  20. she was just working
  21. and she decided to convert while she was working to this one church,
  22. meaning that she wouldn't be able to work Fridays to Saturdays at sundown.
  23. Um She let her employer, no um which is Lawton here,
  24. he dismissed and was like no
  25. she Paula was like
  26. I'm gonna leave then like I'm not gonna work
  27. here and then she went for filed for unemployment
  28. by the florida department of labor and employment security.
  29. Um
  30. They denied.
  31. Um
  32. And he the employer
  33. Lawton,
  34. I was like I'm not going to pay for your benefits.
  35. Um
  36. And so that's how the case started.
  37. So it was the majority arguments,
  38. it was eight and one you can see all these white people here.
  39. Um
  40. This guy over here that's like faded out. He was the one that was for Paula.
  41. Um
  42. So
  43. all these people
  44. on board
  45. and saying
  46. no the state wins.
  47. And then so this is what he was referring to, the guy that was the one.
  48. Um
  49. And
  50. he argued that um it interpret with the
  51. free exercise clause and established clause too broadly.
  52. So both the
  53. main argument
  54. of everyone that ate that one,
  55. they're saying the reason why if it was
  56. similar to those other cases which those people um
  57. lost because oh my gosh, let me rephrase that um With those cases,
  58. those people were converted with the church's before they started the job.
  59. So she had already committed to working those days with that job. Um
  60. Like she said,
  61. so she failed through with her actions and
  62. you can see she had been working there before converting.
  63. Um So yeah,
  64. and for the past history, they use those other cases to help refer to it.
  65. Um
  66. And then for future cases, I didn't see anything that it helped
  67. future cases, it probably will in the future I assume. Um
  68. But I could see how it would help certain cases like for example um
  69. Like a dairy queen we have some people that like if you'd like,
  70. they won't work on Sundays and they let Jeanette know that um
  71. when they are hired, so like that they're letting them know.
  72. So if she were to put them down to work, they'd be like, well I let you know this so that
  73. so Jeanette could get sued for that or she would lose her case because they notified.
  74. Now. I feel like, oh I can work for sure. Like I'm not
  75. going to church whatever and all of a sudden it comes up.
  76. Of course she'd be understanding to make that change happen, but if she didn't
  77. um
  78. that would be on them, not her.
  79. So
  80. here are my lovely sources
  81. that helped me out
  82. um with my case.
  83. Thank you so much.
