SHAMS UDDIN and SHAMIHA MITWALLY, two former Sears cashiers, are suing the company for discrimination, claiming they were fired from their jobs at a Connecticut Sears store because they are Muslim. Mitwally is also alleging that she was assaulted by an assistant manager who yelled threateningly in her face, but did not hit her. Both Uddin and Mitwally were fired last month for giving customers discount coupons, even though they claim some of their coworkers did the same thing. "I suspect there was a relatively new person working there in a position of power who is prejudiced against Muslims," said their lawyer, ANTHONY MACRI, noting that his clients had been "generally mistreated while on the job, especially during the last couple months."
