SLRC Weekly Update

Dear Heritage Supporters:

This has been quite a week for the Southern Legal Resource Center. We have been busy juggling many cases this week. We have news to report on the following:

Lawrence County

Defendant, Ricky Nichols, filed a motion to stay based on the Soldiers and Sailors Act. Nichols has been called to active duty in the National Guard. The court signed the order staying the case without waiting for a response from us. This case was scheduled to go to trial in June but is now delayed by Nichols being called up. We are still preparing for trial and will be conducting preliminary discovery very soon.

Dupont

The EEOC has officially denied that DuPont has discriminated against any of its Confederate Southern American employees. We now have 90 days to file a lawsuit on behalf of our clients. Stay tuned for details.

FAA Case

We will be filing a lawsuit on behalf of two air traffic controllers by March 17th. These two ATC’s are claiming discrimination based on race, religion and national origin. Stay tuned.

MSNBC - Taylor County, FL

The Southern Legal Resource Center will be attending the Taylor County school board meeting on March 18th , where Confederate symbols have been banned. Kirk Lyons will briefly speak to the school board. Afterwards local counsel, Patricia Brosnan, and Kirk will be meeting with parents and students. Patricia will be on MSNBC reports, tonight, with one of our clients, 13 year old Andrea Wright, from Taylor County.
