Ex-Flight Attendant Suing Airline, Union For Religious Discrimination

Hot Air


. . . "Charlene Carter was terminated in March, allegedly because she made a number of Facebook posts opposing abortion and sent messages to the president of the TWU local. Her messages included complaints that dues money had been used to fly union representatives to Washington for the Women’s March early this year. (Free Beacon) . . .

"Sometimes these cases can be hard to prove when you’re claiming wrongful termination, but Carter’s employer specifically cited her pro-life messages as being, “highly offensive in nature.” They also referenced her messages directed to Stone, describing them as, “harassing and inappropriate.” Stone may have felt harassed, but when the complaints are directly related to your handling of union funds that sounds like the sort of complaint you’re supposed to take seriously, investigate and respond to. It’s also a hot topic right now because the Supreme Court is preparing to hear some cases involving the mandatory collection of union dues and the politically slanted uses those funds are put toward regardless of the opinions of the members." . . .
