Iraq war veteran claims Trump University fired her for serving in the Army Reserve
CNN ^ | June 2, 2016

Posted on 06/02/2016 1:00:40 PM PDT by lowbridge

An Iraq war veteran claims she was fired by Trump University because she needed two days a month off in order to serve in the Army Reserve.

Corrine Sommers, who worked for Trump University for five months, sued Trump University after she was dismissed in October 2007. She reached a confidential settlement in that case. But she later alleged that she was fired because of her military service in a November 2012 deposition she gave in a federal class action suit that accused the school of fraud. That deposition was unsealed this week.

Sommers alleged that a supervisor at the school "complained when I would have to take days off to do my military service." And she said that as part of a poor performance review she received, "they wrote it was an issue that I was in the military." She needed to serve two days a month while she worked at Trump University, she testified. She said she was fired when returning from a vacation that she had refused to cut short to respond to a call asking her to come into work.

I have been fired from lots of jobs in the first six months. I did not sue anybody. If I did the suit would get tossed out.

LOL, Corinne!

Whining for cash.

It’s against the law to encumber service to the Armed Forces.

She quit, no doubt, and now smells false hope for cash.

Corinne was a sloth on the job.

She would like respect for that.... and a financial reward.

Please clap.

So it wasn't because of her service?

no it won’t. This is the kind of thing that a lawyer would have loved to sue over. She has had plenty of time to do so IF she actual had a case

Apparently she did get cash the first time around... at least it says she settled in a "confidential settlement". But, now she's back for more and the judge "accidentally" unsealed the records on her.

Her claim was probably bogus the first time around, but they decided to settle to make it go away. Now she's part of the highly motivated never-Trump gang.

I imagine the other people suing TU have similarly bogus stories.

I read yesterday that the judge reversed himself and ordered the records sealed again.

It’s called “employment at will”. Not because you were in the military, idiot!!!

Trump wins again. He accused the judge of being biased and this resealing business confirms it beyond a doubt.
