also required managers to read a Buddhist book, charges the Christian
ex-employee, whose name has been withheld pending formal action.
The former manager’s lawyer, Richard Ackerman of

participation in the religous practices and warning he has been
retained to pursue claims of religious discrimination, “hostile
environment” and harassment against his client that led to her
termination.
