Woman Fired For Eating 'Unclean' Meat

2:53 pm EDT August 4, 2004

ORLANDO, Fla. -- A Central Florida woman was fired from her job after eating "unclean" meat and violating a reported company policy that pork and pork products are not permissible on company premises, according to Local 6 News. Lina Morales was hired as an administrative assistant at Rising Star -- a Central Florida telecommunications company with strong Muslim ties, Local 6 News reported.

However, 10 months after being hired by Rising Star, religious differences led to her termination. Morales, who is Catholic, was warned about eating pizza with meat the Muslim faith considered "unclean," Local 6 News reported. She was then fired for eating a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich, according to the report.

The only way they would escape a really obvious suit is if they had her sign a waiver/contract promising the avoidance of pork. If that's the case, she got what she deserved.

She didn't sign anything.

It says so in the article. This is absurd and the company should expect a lawsuit as well as an investigation into discrimination and such.

They're wrong, and based on all the evidence, they are F U C K E D with a capital Q, and deservingly so.
