#shorts On 11/29/2022, Sens. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) and Josh Hawley (R-Mo.) pressed McMullen over a religious discrimination case between the grocery giant and two former employees who were eventually fired for refusing to wear a uniform with a logo that they thought violated their religious beliefs. Hawley asked McMullen, “I think is what you’re saying it includes everything so have has your company ever fired an employee or disciplined an employee for their religious beliefs. McCullen said not that I’m aware of well.
Hawley: that’s interesting because senator cotton just read at some length into the record in EEOC lawsuit that’s a government lawsuit which your company just settled after an adverse ruling by a federal district court in which you apparently took disciplinary action to the extent of firing employees in Arkansas based on their religious beliefs do you think that’s workplace inclusion well I as I told.”
“I personally am not aware of this,” McCullen said, to which Hawley responded, “How is that possible? You’re being sued by the federal government. You have settled on a suit, and you don’t know about it?”
