Mary Ann Gruzs is claiming three hundred and fifty dollars in damages, plus interest and costs, because she was allegedly fired for expressing her concerns over asbestos in some of the flooring at her place of work.

Gruzs was fired from her job in York County, Pennsylvania, where she worked as a beautician in the salon of a nursing home. Her employers claim she was fired because she had failed to turn up to work on three consecutive days without notifying her employers that she was going to be absent.

Gruzs, however, claims that the reason she lost her job was because she voiced her concerns over asbestos in the salon floor.

She is claiming that her rights under the First Amendment have been violated.
