Good luck proving his motives for letting you go.
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe TX is a "Right to Work" state....meaning - you can be fired if the boss doesn't like the color of your shirt (hyperbole intended).
Best of luck. Seriously. |

Correct on both counts. However, right to work or not, the simple threat of facing legal action should be enough for the employer to cough up what is rightfully owed the employee in this case. Add to the fact that we are told frequently on JC that aviation is a very small world - a bad rep could have some serious repercussions on the man's business. He would be wise to honor his obligations to Moxie for many reasons.
Plus, right to work or not, if religious discrimination could be proved, state labor laws don't trump federal equal rights laws, as I recall.
