The Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against Walmart on behalf of a Navy reservist who says the retail giant didn't hire her because of her upcoming naval reserve duties.
“Service members risk their lives to protect all of us. They deserve our full support, and the law does not permit employers to use military service as a reason to deny service members jobs and other employment opportunities,” assistant attorney general Eric Dreiband of the Civil Rights Division at the DOJ said in a statement.
Hunger called back the Walmart personnel coordinator and says she received confirmation that"Walmart was not hiring her because of her two-week annual Navy Reserve training," according to the complaint. After telling the coordinator that this was in violation of her USERRA rights, the complaint alleges the coordinator"responded that she did not know what the USERRA was."
