Woman fired for her military service files lawsuit

By Kirk Bernard, Esq.

ADVERTISEMENTS

A Kirkland woman, Kelly Hansen, claims she lost her job as chaplain at Children?s Hospital in Seattle because of her years of service as a National Guard chaplain. She was required to drill for a weekend and take time off work.

"The first day she came back to work after her drill weekend she was called into her supervisor's office and terminated," said James Beck, her lawyer.

Hansen claims in the lawsuit she filed Thursday in Seattle Federal Court, that she was fired because Children's Hospital knew that her unit was on alert and she would be leaving for a 14-month deployment to Iraq.

According to King5.com, state and federal Worker's compensation laws require businesses to hold jobs for employees serving the Guard and Reserves, and companies that don?t can face stiff penalties.
