Potomac, VA (August 6, 2013)<\/b> \u2013 With the help of National Right to Work Foundation staff attorneys, a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) employee has filed charges against his employer and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA) union with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) and the Federal Labor Relations Authority. Matthew Gray’s charges allege that union and FAA officials used his religious beliefs to punish him after he decided to resign from the union.<\/p>\n
Gray, a Seventh-day Adventist, currently works at the FAA’s Potomac facility.
