(Arab American News) The federal Equal Employment Opportunity Commission says a Michigan woman faced religious discrimination during Ramadan in 2019 when she was fired from her job for asking for reasonable accommodations.
The woman had filed a federal complaint against her employer alleging she faced religious and gender discrimination.
The Michigan chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-MI), a local chapter of the nation’s largest civil rights and advocacy organization, filed a complaint with the EEOC on the woman’s behalf.
Although CAIR-MI did not provide details on the woman’s identity, it did say the complaint was filed against GDI Integrated Facility Services, which contracts to clean office buildings in several Michigan cities.
