Yesterday, when she got to work she was advised by the "Co-Manager" that she would be fired first thing this morning when she arrived at work.

So, with a new attitude to collect as much information as possible as they fire her, she is off to work.

She (my wife) did clarify for me last night that her manager is against this action, as he knows there was no proof of any discrimination, however, being a good little Wal Mart commie, he has to follow the party line as handed down from the on-high corporate offices.

AuntyM: Thanks for the great tips. WA. is a "no right to work" state, and you can be fired at any time, for any reason, and generally without recourse.

In this case, however, where she is fired "for cause", they are going to have to substantiate the reasoning. The EEOC seems to be the starting point for any action we need to take.

As for the ACLU, I'll wait and see what the attorney says. This is more of a case of wrongful termination than discrimination, unless we sue the guy who filed the complaint, and he has no assets to pay with, I'm sure. I would prefer to just pound Wal Mart and be done with it and get on with our lives.

My wife treated this guy like any other customer, and had she been "of color" the man wouldn't have ever said a word, but since she is white and he wasn't he decided that the reason was that she was discriminating against him. Such total BS.

Thanks to all of you for the support. I'm in the middle of a custody fight for my daughter, and with this new issue being tossed on-top it makes life a bit tense.
