from the EEOC site. Cant speak to UPS policy
Religious Discrimination & Reasonable Accommodation
The law requires an employer or other covered entity to reasonably accommodate an employee's religious beliefs or practices, unless doing so would cause more than a minimal burden on the operations of the employer's business. This means an employer may be required to make reasonable adjustments to the work environment that will allow an employee to practice his or her religion.
Examples of some common religious accommodations include flexible scheduling, voluntary shift substitutions or swaps, job reassignments, and modifications to workplace policies or practices.
Religious Discrimination & Reasonable Accommodation & Undue Hardship
An employer does not have to accommodate an employee's religious beliefs or practices if doing so would cause undue hardship to the employer. An accommodation may cause undue hardship if it is costly, compromises workplace safety, decreases workplace efficiency, infringes on the rights of other employees, or requires other employees to do more than their share of potentially hazardous or burdensome work

No, if you are filling requesting the company to pass you by and force someone more senior in your place, that's about you getting your religious rights and your brother getting his seniority rights violated. Again, how far would you expect the Union to fight that grievance on your behalf?
Stay home and if they discipline you, grieve it and file harassment grievances if they say anything about it. Let the union sort it out rather than wasting time and energy arguing with some
manager.In fact file harassment and discrimination charges now for using the phrase "She-Bop"

Should not have to fight it hard at all. Courts have made this a slim dunk.

So what happens when the higher seniority employee forced in to accommodate this religious belief files a grievance and requests the company follow seniority per the contract as the remedy. Then what? You just bury that one?

Religious rights are gonna trump this anytime.
I don't see other drivers filing about growing beards because some have religious exemptions

Apples and oranges. I don't see any beards causing seniority violations.
So are you saying the Union would be totally cool with the seniority violations and would squash a grievance from an affected employee?

Yep. It's out of the unions control. Way above their heads.
