I don't see what's wrong..

She DID Ask for UNpaid leave. I can see the uproar if she was demanding to get paid leave.

It is a technical violation of the EEO act.

Letter of the law says they were supposed to let her do it .......... a nearly 50 year old law at that. has nothing to do with obama.

well if thats the case then I have at least 3 causes for suit.

Unfortunately they can deny any leave except FEMLA.
If the unpaid leave would cause undue hardship, they can deny it (as I understand it) so long as it is NOT based on religious or ethnic reasons.
ie: Reason denied is, you are (whatever)
Can you imagine if everyone at the hospital took off for a religious holiday?


I kinda want her to win her case.
Imagine all of the service members, Civilians overseas not allowed to celebrate their religious holiday with their family.
There will be so many lawsuits, They will have to increase your taxes to more than your income.
