Looks like Chik-Fil-A may be in more trouble
Chick-Fil-A Owner Fires Woman In Order To Make Her A Stay At Home Mom
In a recent lawsuit filed against the owner of a franchise in Duluth, GA as well as against the parent company of Chick-Fil-A is but the latest strike against the troubled fast food chain, as new allegations of gender discrimination have come to light.
Within the court briefing, it is revealed that Brenda Honeycutt, the store’s General Manager with 21 years of service under her belt, found herself frozen out of management meetings and eventually replaced in that role with a male hired by her store’s owner, Jeff Howard, earlier this year. This came after 5 other female employees found themselves demoted or terminated in the past year despite high performance metrics. The owner allegedly made it clear to Ms Honeycutt as well as others that the termination was a move designed to force Ms Honeycutt into a role as a stay-at-home mother.

I'm thinking the whole thing is a bouncy that will involve lawyers.

I wondered what this Addicting Info site was all about and who it was run by:
Addicting Info started as a resource to discredit all the lies and propaganda that the right-wing spreads. When I undertook the project I thought I would probably have about 100 different articles about a number of different myths, and people could sort through them at will. Eventually that expanded to news and other info, and I quickly realized the DAUNTING task of actually trying to discredit EVERY right-wing myth that is in existence, especially with the constant creation of new ones.
Now, I look for people who seem to have a similar goal in mind, whether they have realized it or not, and recruit them to join our team. I’m very pleased to say that I haven’t had a regret about any recruits yet, and we’ve assembled an incredible team of writers.
A lot of you have asked for more information about our writing staff, so we will be posting it soon. If you’re a writer and would like to contribute to our site, please contact us at editor@addictinginfo.org and send links to any current blogs you are writing or any political fan pages you manage through facebook. Unlike many other political news sites, we pay our writers, based on article views.
Thanks for your interest in our site!
I'm guessing people not smart enough to get a paycheck from Soros?

I wonder why I can't find any info about this case at local news sites? I'm not saying that it's not true. I would just think something like this would make the local news.

Everything I can find links back to glaad, and this pdf of the lawsuit. (http://www.glaad.org/files/101150536-Lawsuit_1.pdf) It seems like this would be major news for the Lamestream Media. However, the tie ti Chick-Fil-A is tenuous IMO, and the woman is suing the people with deeper pockets than just the franchise owner.

I think she was an employee that sucked and didn't go with their policies, so they fired her. Now she is making this story up to try and get money.

I hope she was a liberal.

Local franchise owners sometimes do crazy shit, after all, by and large they made their buy-in doing something completely different and are using it to buy into a turn-key operation, not one they built from the ground up, so it's entirely possible for them to do nutty stuff that would've kept a ground-up business from succeeding. However, there are two sides to every story, and you'd have to be an idiot to take a Plaintiff's side of it as the whole unvarnished truth. Not that the Left wants for credulous idiots...

Why is it only linked to glaad?
