Move on!! Go to UAL they thinks cool!
Can Sandi ask a female if they are on Planning on getting pregnant and taking maternity leave and not hire her because of that? No because it is discrimination.
Can Sandi criticize someone for being on Mil leave and not hire them because they are on mil leave or think that they may drop Mil leave? No because it is discrimination and against the law. USERRA Law protects from discrimination during initial hiring for Military status.
Doesn’t matter if you don’t like people using a “guard card.” It is illegal to not hiring them because you are afraid they will use the “guard card.”
Now can you prove the discrimination? Probably not.
