INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit in federal court saying a furniture store violated federal law by not rehiring a man upon his return from military service.
Christopher Robbins began serving in the Indiana Army National Guard in 2006. According to the lawsuit, Robbins began working at Ashley HomeStore in Greenwood in 2014. In 2017, he was called into Guard service out of state for a month. The furniture store fired Robbins when he tried to return to work.
The Department of Labor’s Veterans’ Employment and Training Service investigated and sent its findings that the store violated the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA) to the Justice Department.
