Problem is Fl is a "right to work" state, which means basically the employer can fire you and doesn't have to give you a reason. (happened to me). She'd have to PROVE that this is what got her fired, and this will be VERY difficult to do in this wacked state... As Super Chicken would say, "You knew the job was dangerous when you took it Fred..."
.
However, 10 months after being hired by Rising Star, religious differences led to her termination.

This is a no brainer. If you work for an employer who had you agree to certain company policies and you intentionally violated them, then he as ever right in your termination.
However, 10 months after being hired by Rising Star, religious differences led to her termination.
"Our point of view is to respect the laws of the land and the laws of the land as I understand it is to the accommodate people's right to practice their religions if you can," Kweli said.
"They're making it seem that if you don't follow a certain set of religious practices and beliefs then you're going to be terminated and that's wrong," Nejame said. "If this case prevails, what it will mean -- the implications of this case -- is it will eliminate accommodations of religion."
Local 6 News obtained the termination letter that states she was fired for refusing to comply with company policy that pork and pork products are not permissible on company premises.
However, by the company's own admission to the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, that policy is not written, Local 6 News reported.
