“created a hostile work environment, based on religion,” and openly threatened to fire workers who didn't attend the sessions.
“Ms. Saunders describes the behavior as ‘ranting,’” the lawsuit states. “Ms. Saunders began to feel as though the meetings became 'cult-like' after the owner required everyone to recite the Catholic version of the Lord’s Prayer in unison.” “Federal law protects employees from having to choose between their sincerely held religious beliefs and their jobs,” said Melinda C. Dugas, regional attorney for the EEOC’s Charlotte District. “Employers who sponsor prayer meetings in the workplace have a legal obligation to accommodate employees whose personal religious or spiritual views conflict with the company’s practice.”
In the complaint, McGaha identified himself as atheist and Saunders said she was agnostic. They said they were required to take part in "mandatory" prayer meetings where "employees stood in a circle, while the owner and others read Bible scripture and Christian devotionals."
