US EditionMan allegedly fired from job after wearing religious shirts during Pride Month reaches settlement
- Cosby Cunningham, a quality assurance manager at Eaton Corp's Iowa facility, was fired on August 23, 2023, for wearing Bible verse T-shirts during Pride Month.
- Cunningham claimed Eaton unlawfully discriminated against him for his religious expression amid the company’s increased LGBTQ and DEI initiatives, leading him to file complaints and a federal lawsuit.
- He wore shirts with messages like “Pride goes before destruction” to counter what he viewed as coercive views on pronoun use, but management refused accommodations and cited policy violations.
- The parties reached an undisclosed out-of-court settlement, and Cunningham’s attorney declined to comment on its specifics while Eaton maintained their actions were lawful and non-discriminatory.
- This case embodies ongoing national tensions balancing religious freedom and workplace inclusivity, as similar disputes and legal challenges continue to arise elsewhere in Iowa and beyond.
