Kathleen Pielech and Patricia Reed, two workers whom the league defended when they were fired for not going to work on Christmas Day, have notified us that the law which would forever bar this practice from happening again was made retroactive, thus giving them the desired protection.

However, Pielech isn’t satisfied and will now seek even further justice under the new law by taking her employer to task for what happened.
