A man serving in the National Guard has filed a federal lawsuit against The Boeing Company, alleging the aerospace giant unlawfully terminated his employment while he was on military leave and then moved to refill his position less than a month later.
Conner Lynch claims Boeing violated the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA), a federal law designed to protect service members from workplace discrimination and ensure their jobs are protected during military service, according to a complaint filed Aug. 4, in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri.
Lynch, a St. Louis resident and active member of the Missouri National Guard Reserves, was hired by Boeing in August 2023 as a procurement agent. The filing states that at the time of his hiring, he was the most experienced aviation procurement agent on his team, successfully performed his duties without any disciplinary actions, and even received a merit-based wage increase in 2024.
In May 2024, Lynch informed his supervisor that he would be called to service by the U.S. Army with an anticipated report date in August.
