Paid religious work subject to labor laws
By United Press International
WASHINGTON — Federal labor laws apply to people working for religious groups, the Supreme Court ruled yesterday, rejecting fears that the ruling might underline Christian volunteer work.
In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court said the Tony and Susan Alamo Foundation Inc., which has headquarters in Alma, Ark, must follow federal labor law in dealing with its "associates" working at its 32 businesses nationwide.
"The foundation's commercial activities . . . are not beyond the reach of the Fair Labor Standards Act because of the foundation's responsibility to recognize societies are employees." Justice Byron White wrote for the court.
The foundation had argued that application of the law would "quickly lead to the demise of
(the) Christian effort" of volunteers.
However, the high court said there is no reason to fear that "coverage of the foundation's business activities will lead to coverage of volunteers who drive the elderly to church, serve church suppers, or help remodel a church home for the needy."
The government initially said if back wages were paid to the Alamo workers, the tab for the foundation could reach $19 million.
White wrote that labor law only covers commercial activities of religious organizations and only those that "engage in those activities in expectation of compensation."
However, White said that since the group's employees currently receive such benefits as board and lodging in exchange for working in other positions, he contended theocation of the act will work little or no change in their situation."
