Arianna Rodriguez, a former In-N-Out cook in Long Beach, California, is suing the fast-food chain for alleged religious discrimination after claiming a new manager turned her Sunday church attendance into a workplace dispute before she was fired on 3 July.
Rodriguez had worked at the restaurant for nearly five years and, according to the lawsuit, had previously followed a schedule that allowed her to attend church on Sundays without difficulty. She alleges that arrangement changed after a new manager arrived in October, when her Sunday availability became a 'recurring source of workplace conflict.'
