EEOC Case Filed on Behalf of Confederate Southern American

Black Mountain, NC - The Board of Directors of the SLRC announce today that Center has filed a discrimination claim with the Pittsburgh area EEOC on behalf of Curtis Blaine Storey against Burns Security after Storey was fired for the display of Confederate symbols at his job site at a SONY plant.  Sony personnel indicated to Burns officials that Storey's display of Confederate symbols violated their new anti-harassment policy.  When Storey refused to stop displaying the flag on his car and lunchbox he was terminated.  Burns Security euphemistically calls Storey's dismissal a "resignation."

The claim cites discrimination based on race, religion and national origin. Storey considers himself a Christian Confederate Southern American.
