More left coast insanity!
SEATTLE – An U.S. Army reservist is suing the University of Washington, accusing the institution of harassment and discrimination for serving in the Iraq war.
A report on seattlepi.com says that Army Reserve Lt. Col. James Lukehart has been employed at the university since 1992 as an electrician and had risen through the ranks to maintenance manager.
In the suit filed in King County Superior Court, Lukehart says that co-workers told him he would be engaging in an immoral action by serving in Iraq. Also, the university launched into allegations of misconduct while Lukehart was deployed.
Lukehart contends he was forced to take a pay cut and demotion to keep his job.
UW spokesman Norm Arkans says that Lukehart’s demotion had nothing to do with his service in Iraq.
Good for you Colonel…. for too long these problems have taken a toll on Reserve Officers, who have to serve. I worked for the US Government, and was harassed for over 25 years….
I hope you get enough money to buy the University.
