Thanks for the ping. I don't shop at Pep Boys but no I won't for sure. If the charges turn out to be true, I hope they get taken to the cleaners over this one.

"Pep Boys consistently cooperated in accommodating those obligations," Hale wrote. "Pep Boys made the difficult decision to terminate him because his performance and judgement declined to an unacceptable level. His military service played no role whatsoever in the decision."

Hmmm, they fired him the same day he reported for duty and was told by Pep Boys that we was being terminated for "job abandonment." According to this article, "the lawsuit indicates Balodis had worked 20 days in a row for the company without a day off before the termination" and he was recognized repeatedly for his good work with the company.
