EEOC Sues Arkansas Cooperative For Refusing Jehovah's Witness One Day Off

The EEOC announced Thursday that it has filed suit against the Arkansas-based Ozarks Electric Cooperative Corporation for refusing to allow a  call center customer service representative who was a Jehovah’s Witness to take one day off to attend a religious convention. The company not only refused her request but ultimately fired her over it, according to the EEOC's complaint.
