I guess it's not only the gays Chick-Fil-A discriminates against.


Chick-fil-A, the now notoriously anti-gay fast-food chain, is once again involved more controversy, this time involving gender discrimination.

Brenda Honeycutt, a former employee of a Chick-fil-A establishment in Georgia, is suing the restaurant for wrongful termination, alleging that she is a victim of gender discrimination, according to GLAAD.

The lawsuit, which was obtained by GLAAD, refers to a June 27, 2011, incident in which Jeff Howard, the owner and operator of a Duluth, Ga., Chick-fil-A, fired Honeycutt so she could be a "stay home mother."

And she's not the only one...

On or about June 27, 2011, Defendant Howard told Connie
Gravitt that he terminated the Plaintiff so she could be a stay
home mother.

On or about June 27, 2011, Defendant Howard told Barbara
Lord that he terminated the Plaintiff so she could be a stay home
mother.

On or about June 27, 2011, Defendant Howard told Wendy
Blankenship that he terminated the Plaintiff so she could be a
stay home mother.

Patty Fernandez (female), a former Kitchen Manager was
demoted by Defendants after she became a mother, and then later
terminated, and replaced by Juan Meza (male).

So the owner of one franchise is being sued, so that makes the entire organization guilty? :palm:
 
More discrimination in the name of God...

Wealth gives Chick-fil-A’s owners an outsize impact on our politics: As we’ve been reminded this week, the company channels millions of dollars into anti-gay organizations. But its impact on national policy is nothing compared to its influence over the lives of its employees. Comments from the company’s founder suggest that Chick-fil-A embraces its legal right to reward and punish employees’ private behavior. And a series of lawsuits allege that managers have wielded their authority over workers in ways that break the law: firing a Muslim for refusing to pray to Jesus; firing a manager so that she’d become a stay-at-home mom; and punishing workers for objecting to sexual harassment.

Since when does God tolerate sexual abuse?

In California, workers charge they were retaliated against for exposing abuse. In a pair of lawsuits, six current and former workers allege a multi-year pattern of sexual harassment by their supervisor. Their attorney, Fernando Tafoya, told Salon that the supervisor has been “using his authority as a manager to abuse the women in the workplace,” including “forcibly kiss[ing] the women, the manager putting his hands down the bra of some women as they’re getting ice from the ice machine, grabbing their genitalia, slapping them on the ass, constantly rubbing up against them when he passes by them.”

And they really hate hispanics!

A lawsuit filed Thursday claims four former employees of Chick-fil-A in Chula Vista were sexually harassed, fired, then reported to immigration. Norma Duarte said she is filing a lawsuit after her boss harassed her several times in a back area of the Chick-fil-A restaurant at 2089 Olympic Parkway in Eastlake Terraces.

“He would put me in the refrigerator, and he would touch me and grope me,” Duarte said. Gustavo Angulo, the restaurant’s manager, repeatedly harassed her and three other female employees over the past two years, Duarte said. The women allege in their lawsuit that when they complained to the restaurant’s owner, Mandy Medlin, they were ignored. They also claim Chick-fil-A’s corporate headquarters ignored their complaints and instead of taking action to stop the harassment, the three of the women were fired.

According to the women, management also reported them to U.S. Customs and Border Protection in an attempt to have them deported.

I posted the link because it mentions how involved CFA is in the day-to-day operations of the stores.

"But Danielle Alderson, 30, a Baltimore operator, says some fellow franchisees find that Chick-fil-A butts into its workers' personal lives a bit much. She says she can't hire a good manager who, say, moonlights at a strip club because it would irk the company. "We are watched very closely by Chick-fil-A," she says. "It's very weird.""
