The EEOC complaint establishes that the employee did not identify his workplace or said he will represent the opinions of his employer in his social networks account. Their positions were not aimed at any rock Snowpark employee and the park did not receive any complaints about the posts, the complaint states.

The employee had worked for the company for a year and a half before his termination, during which he received bonds and was promoted for his excellent performance, according to the demand.

The EEOC filed the lawsuit after trying to reach an agreement prior to litigation, explains the complaint. The park is accused of violating title VII of the Civil Rights Law of 1964, which prohibits employment Discrimination based on religion.

The commission is asking the court to issue a permanent court order that restricts Crystal Ridge to participate in “any employment practice that discriminates on the basis of religion in violation of Title VII.” The commission asks the Court to order the park that implements new policies to guarantee the equal employment opportunities “regardless of religion.” The complaint also requests that the employee receive paid payments and compensatory and punitive damages for the alleged damage caused.

“All employees have the right to earn the free life of discrimination based on their religious beliefs,” said the interim president of the EEOC, Andrea Lucas, in a press release. “While employers must remain alert about possible harassment in the workplace, religious statements made outside work that do not refer or impact anyone in the workplace do not constitute illegal harassment.”

Crystal Ridge ski area told him Fox News Digital The legal complaint had not yet been fulfilled, but rejected the accusations.

“First, we want to make it clear that we, as an employer and member of the community, treat all our employees and customers equally and with respect, regardless of who they are and what they believe,” said the park. “We also hope that all our employees will be respected in a similar way and the clients we are here to serve.”

“Secondly, we want to make it clear that the internal employment decision that apparently led to the EEOC demand was not taken on the basis of the employee’s religious beliefs. Rather, it was a commercial decision based on performance problems and policy violations,” they added, saying that they had no more comments on the matter.
