LOWER VALLEY, Pa. — A former Pa. paramedic claims he was fired after complaining about a supervisor’s swearing.
Paul S. Newell Jr. says in the lawsuit he is a practicing Christian, and was hired at Lower Valley Ambulance Service in 2006, according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
His supervisor used “profane speech and expletives that were highly offensive and/or blasphemous,” according to the complaint.
Newell Jr. said when he complained, he was suspended and eventually fired, “ostensibly for misprioritizing ambulance calls,” the article said. He claims he suffered discrimination for being a Christian and retaliation for complaining.
