Woman fired for living with her boyfriend

A San Diego woman who worked for food-service company Sodexo at Sharp Memorial hospital has sued the company after she said her boss fired her for living with her boyfriend, also an employee.

The company, according to the woman, says its policy was not to employ "relatives" and that either she or her boyfriend would have to quit. The real reason is, she says, that her living arrangements offended her boss' religious beliefs.

 She's asking for $75,001 -- just enough to get the case into federal court.

She has adopted a nice method to earn a fat amount. This is the policy at many work places.

I think the real issue is how a "boyfriend" can be construed to equal "relative"...
