A former deli worker is suing Wal-Mart. He says he was wrongly fired from a Sam’s Club store for simply being a good Catholic.
John F. Kennedy (yes, that’s his real name) says the store in Latham, NY, reneged on an agreement to allow him to have every Sunday off so he could attend Mass.
The suit says Kennedy complained to managers when he was scheduled to work on Sundays and was terminated because of his complaints.
Kennedy says the store violated his civil and religious rights.
His attorney told The Times Union that Kennedy is seeking $1 million because the “lawsuit needs to be a number that’s gonna catch their eye and concede to wrongdoing and maybe try to resolve this.”
