Gary Heart reads his bible every day. He says that is exactly what got him fired from his job on Saturday.
He says give me your keys. We've gotten on to you before about the bible study.He says just bring your uniform in Monday. He says we will have your paperwork ready. I didn't argue or fuss I gave him my keys.
Hart worked for about a year in maintanance for Lee Smith incorporated, a commercial trucking and RV service repair center.�  The company released a statement this afternoon denying that Bible reading was not the reason for the termination.
It is the company's policy not to respond publicly to personnel issues, especially to avoid violating an individual's rights.�  The company strives to always treat everyone equally and fairly.�
