FRANKLIN, Maine — A Franklin County woman says she was fired from her job as an EMT at NorthStar Emergency Medical Services after a supervisor motivated by sex and religious discrimination accused her of embezzling money from the ambulance service.
Margaret Betts, of Rangeley, worked for NorthStar, part of the Franklin Community Health Network, for 14 years before she was fired in May 2014, according to a lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court.
Betts is an atheist and did not share the Christian beliefs of some of her co-workers at the base, according to the lawsuit. She could not be reached for comment Tuesday. Peter Thompson, an attorney for the Maine Employee Rights Group, who represents Betts, also declined to comment Tuesday.
