Calif. sued firm for firing Army reservist

SAN JOSE, Calif. — The federal government is suing a Northern California firm for firing a deployed Army reservist.

U.S. Assistant Attorney General Thomas Perez says those serving their country should be honored for their sacrifices rather than face discrimination because of their military obligations.

The Justice Department filed the suit Monday against Mountain View-based Titan Laboratories, saying the firm violated a federal law that says those who leave civilian jobs to serve in the military must get their jobs back when they return.

The San Jose Mercury News says the suit alleges Titan improperly fired warehouse manager Miguel Orozco Garduno last year. Garduno, who had worked at the industrial cleaning products firm since 2001, was told his deployment forced his termination.
