Military Reservist Wins Big Against Employer In Court

Story here.

Military reservists won a major victory in court on Friday when a federal jury unanimously ruled in favor of an NYPD Captain and experienced U.S. Army pilot who was denied assignment to the NYPD Aviation Unit based on his military reserve status.

"The Police Department, Fire Department and private employers need to make sure reservists' employment rights are not infringed upon," said Margaret Mayo, attorney for Captain John Cardona.
