Crystal City Subway fires Natl. Guard soldier after missing work for military duties
(KMOV) – A distraught mother came to News 4 after her 20-year-old daughter was fired after missing work for training duties with the Missouri National Guard.
Morgan Johnson was sworn in to the Missouri National Guard on April 18 and told her boss at the Crystal City Subway she would miss work to train with her unit that next weekend.
She was fired the following Monday even though a federal law protects her from losing her job over military service.
