Texas vet clinic settles claim for pressuring employees to join COS
kipper
An Arlington, Texas veterinary clinic agreed earlier this month to pay
$150,000 to six employees who claimed in a suit backed by the U.S.
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission that the company unlawfully
pressured employees to subscribe to beliefs of the Church of
Scientology (EEOC v. I-20 Animal Medical Center, N.D. Tex, 398CV2316-X,
settlement approved 12/2/99).
In a complaint filed Sept. 30 in the U.S. District Court for the
Northern District of Texas, EEOC alleged that I-20 Animal Medical
Center violated religious discrimination provisions of Title VII of the
Civil Rights Act of 1964. Specifically, the complaint charged that I-20
subjected non-scientologist employees to disparate treatment, failed to
reasonably accommodate the religious beliefs of non-scientologist
employees, and retaliated against workers who opposed what they
believed were unlawful employment practices.
Since at least Sept. 1, 1991, the complaint charged, I-20 intentionally
pressured employees to "conduct themselves in a manner consistent with
the teachings of the Church of Scientology and to participate in
religious activities, including, but not limited to,
religiously-influenced course-work." In addition, EEOC claimed, I-20
required employees to participate in religious activities in order to
be promoted to or retain management positions.
I-20 refused to excuse employees from religious activities, EEOC said,
and disregarded worker objections to the imposition of Scientology.
Employees who refused to participate in religious functions or
otherwise resisted religious pressures were subjected to discipline,
the complaint charged, including assignment to lesser tasks and
termination.
SETTLEMENT OUTLINES RELIEF
In a consent decree signed Dec. 2 by U.S. District Court Judge Joe
Kendall, I-20 denied any violations of Title VII but agreed to conduct
all future employment practices in a manner that does not subject any
employee to discrimination based on religion.
The company agreed to pay a total of $150,000 to six employees to
settle all compensatory, punitive, and other damages. Payment will be
sent to the employees in the form of separate cashiers’ checks in
amounts to be determined by EEOC.
I-20 also agreed that it will not condition pay raises, promotions, or
other job benefits on employee compliance with employer-imposed
religious teachings, and will not use religiously-influenced training
material. The company will also train employees on the requirements and
provisions of Title VII and post a notice outlining complaint
procedures on the company bulletin board.
Under the terms of the settlement, I-20 will remove all documents
related to charges of religious discrimination from employee personnel
files.

I wonder if the victims alleged racketeering in this one as well.
Since the crooks which violated these people's rights were doing so
on orders from the Scientology cult's ringleaders, I would think that
they would at least consider punishing the people who pulled these
crook's strings.

And the crooks will manufacture other excuses to fire non cult followers.

And dead like Lisa McPherson and so many others, starved to death as
a matter of religious rights guarenteed by the Constitution of the
United States.

The Scientology crime syndicate uses TR0 to brainwash and control cult
followers into handing ovber every last cent they have and, as they
did with Lisa Mcpherson, even steal money from their victims even after
they murder them.
Fredric Xenu L. Xenu Rice Xenu
>Why do people like Scientology?
Because they don't know what Scientology really is -- because the
crime syndicate requires them to pay huge amounts of money before
they are victimized by the Scientology bait-and-switch Xenu scheme.
Because people who _know_ what Scientology is, and know what the
history of the Scientology crime syndicate is stay away from the
crooks.
Hope that helps.

When you can back up your cult brainwashing with _evidence_ do get

Into the grave. Ask Lisa McPherson's surviving relatives.
