A soldier and former employee of Vitro America LLC recently filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the company.  Walter Long claims that when Vitro fired him in 2005 they failed to comply with the U.S. Soldiers and Sailors Employment and Reemployment Act.

Long began working for Vitro in Birmingham, Alabama in March 1992.  In August 2005, Long informed officials at the company that his Army reserve unit was being called to active duty and that he would need to temporarily leave his position.  

In late 2006, Long's unit was deployed to Iraq and in May 2007 Long was injured.  For the next six months, Long recovered at Fort Hood in Texas and says he informed Vitro of his injury and recovery time.  When Long was no longer on active duty and had recovered from his injury, he returned to Vitro America LLC.  Upon his return, Long was notified that he had been terminated from his position.
