HYUNDAI FIRES MARINE UNDER FIRE IN IRAQ
This is against federal law. Nor is this the first instance of corporations firing employees on active-duty in Iraq. The Department of Justice needs to begin enforcing the law that protects reservists and their families.

Marine Fired While Serving in Iraq
What in the world is going on with Hyundai? First the giant conglomerate is caught in South Korea’s bribery scandal involving communist North Korea. Now the pregnant wife of a Marine reservist says the corporation fired him while he was serving in Operation Iraqi Freedom.
Shari Moffitt says her husband, Sgt. Clifford Moffitt, thought his job at the automaker was secure after he was called to active duty.
“Instead he received a letter on the battlefield saying that Hyundai decided to terminate his employment two months after he left,” Mrs. Moffitt told KGTV in San Diego.
Mrs. Moffitt, also employed at Hyundai, is talking with publicity-loving attorney Gloria Allred about legal action.
