Could be more to the story than we know. Read their reply
Dear Russell,
Thank you for your inquiry regarding recent press reports concerning a
former Pep Boys employee who filed a lawsuit against Pep Boys alleging
termination due to military obligations. We are confident that no
inappropriate actions have been taken toward this or any Pep Boys associate
due to his or her military obligations.
At the present time, more than 30 Pep Boys associates have been called to
active duty and are now serving. We would never terminate an employee for
military service in support of our nation and are very proud, not only of
our associates currently serving in the military, but also of every U.S.
service man and woman who has ever served.
Our policy grants leaves of absence to our associates for military duty and
we are in full compliance with, and in some areas exceed, state and federal
laws. The policy is consistent with the guidelines of the Employer Support
of the Guard and Reserve, a volunteer organization serving reserve and
guard members.
While it is not our practice to comment on ongoing litigation and personnel
matters, this particular employee's termination, on June 27, 2002, was
unrelated to his military reserve status and solely related to other
factors dating back to the summer of 2001.
Our prayers and thoughts are with our troops and their families in this
tenuous time and we offer them our support and gratitude.
Thank you for your interest in Pep Boys.
