Federal regulators have filed a lawsuit against a Chick-fil-A franchise operator in Austin, Texas, over claims a worker was fired after refusing Saturday shifts tied to her religious beliefs. The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission claims Hatch Trick Inc. failed to accommodate worker Laurel Torode’s Sabbath observance before terminating her employment. The case quickly sparked online discussion, with many people pointing out the irony of a company known for closing on Sundays over Christian values now facing accusations of religious discrimination.
