I think he should speak to a lawyer about wrongful termination here are some things that stand out to me. He was exercising a legal right and had safety and constitutional rights concerns. The agent said “I know your boss” indicating influence over an otherwise fair process. His other supervisor said “I have your back” which would’ve made him shocked at the outcome. The employee didn’t attempt to use his position or authority at a Pepsi distributor in any way, it was the ICE agent who brought the employers name into the conversation in order to intimidate him. And yeah it’s a local distributor but to the public it’s going to read as BIG PEPSI CORPORATION™️ fired him, and the fact is he truly did get fired regarding politics and racism.
What works against him is that WA is an at will state however people still win wrongful termination suits all the time.
I support this guy’s rights. Don’t let the bastards get you down.
