Reserve deputy Luis Rivera, a fourteen-year Volkswagen employee, is suing the company for wrongful termination after being fired for having a department-issued handgun in his car on company property. Rivera, who had just completed sheriffs office training, argues that Tennessee law allows him to store his gun securely in his car while on company property. Volkswagen maintains that their no-weapons policy and security zone restrictions justify the termination. The lawsuit is now in federal court, with Rivera seeking his job back, full pay, and legal costs.
