...against a Catholic woman who worked for him. Wait, it gets "better." The woman's name...

Grecia Echevarria-Hernandez filed a discrimination lawsuit April 26 {2016} against Las Vegas-based AffinityLifestyles.com, also known as Real Alkalized Water. (link to his wiki entry) Republican Assemblyman Brent Jones is president of the company. His son, Blain Jones, is executive vice president of the company and also is running {ran in 2016 } for a state Nevada Assembly seat. {ran in 2016 and lost} {emphasis added with links}

On her first day, Echevarria-Hernandez said she was forced to watch several videos with religious undertones, including “The Secret” and others based on Scientology.

Her supervisor later told her that she could get a 25-cent raise if she participated in self-betterment courses, and the plaintiff said she tried to sit through one of the classes. But it also had to do with Scientology and made her feel uncomfortable, so she left early.
