Former Systems Engineer Files Religious Discrimination Lawsuit

CEDAR RAPIDS,Iowa-A former systems engineer for Rockwell Collins has filed a federal lawsuit, claiming he was fired after he refused to sign a document accepting homosexuality.Thomas Meeker says in his lawsuit that he's a Christian who believes homosexuality is sinful and that he was fired because of his religion.The lawsuit says Meeker sent an e-mail to company officials objecting to diversity training and met with company officials to discuss his objections.Meeker received a certified letter last July telling him he was fired because of his unwillingness to treat gay or lesbian co-workers with respect and for violating company policies.A Rockwell Collins spokeswoman said the Iowa-based company does not discuss pending litigation.
