National Guardman Mis-treated by Employer after Release from Duty

Phil Carter in his site INTEL DUMP carries a story of an Oregon National Guardsman who has been dismissed from his job after his return from Iraq, even though the Department of Labor and National Guard have recommended that he be retained. A labor complaint is pending.

Apparently, he suffers from post-traumatic disorder and nerve damage from his time in Iraq – neither of which stop him from doing his job screening visitors to a federal building in Seattle. He has been given a clean bill of health by Army doctors and psychiatrists. Now, his employer has terminated him for refusing to see THEIR psychiatrists.

This employer – Securitas – has a FEDERAL contract, and they are breaking FEDERAL laws. Does anybody else see a problem here?
