RiteAid Takes Massive Stand Against Islam, But Then Something Terrible Happens According to recent reports, a Muslim woman named Khadijah Al-Amin has filed a discrimination claim against Rite Aid Corp. after she claims that wearing her Islamic head covering led to her being fired. The complaint was filed with the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania by attorneys James A. Bell and Christopher A. Macey, Jr. The document claims that Al-Amin was fired in retaliation for speaking out about the treatment she had been receiving by management. Al-Amin was first hired in 2006 as a salaried manager. In 2007, she was promised to be moved laterally, but she lost several of her benefits in the process. During the course of her employment, Ms. Al-Amin became aware of an atmosphere of discrimination against Muslim employees that was leading to or causing the actions complained of above, the lawsuit claims. The lawsuit names Rodney Bryant as the defendant in the case. Bryant was Al-Amins supervisor, who reportedly referred to her head covering as a do-rag and told her that she was not projecting the right image to customers. Another defendant in the suit is Cynthia Whitman, to whom Al-Amin complained about Bryants actions. The lawsuit filed claims that harassment, discrimination and retaliation reached its zenith when Al-Amin was told that she would have to accept a demotion or be fired because there were no store manager positions available. Al-Amin seeks declaratory judgment, compensatory and punitive damages, and attorneys fees in her lawsuit.
