Charee Stanley, 40, says she was suspended by Express Jet for refusing to serve alcohol in accordance with her Islamic faith. According to CNN, she filed a discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission on Tuesday September 2nd for the revocation of a reasonable religious accommodation.
She wants to do her job without serving alcohol in accordance with her Islamic faith -- just as she was doing before her suspension.
"What this case comes down to is no one should have to choose between their career and religion and it's incumbent upon employers to provide a safe environment where employees can feel they can practice their religion freely," said Lena Masri, an attorney with Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
