The former CIO at Diskeeper has filed a lawsuit claiming that his work forced him to take Scientology training courses, in order to keep his job at Diskeeper. Alexander Godelman and Marc Le Shay were both dismissed at their job for refusing to participate in a training course titled "Basic Study Manual", where both employees were told that they would be more intelligent and his personal life would improve drastically.
Godelman filed a complaint with the Los Angeles Superior Court, stating that Scientology training was a condition of employment, and their refusal to take part in the training session, lead to their dismissal. Godelman was told that his presence at the training courses was "not negotiable", from Diskeepers CEO and Chairman, Craig Jensen
Five causes of action had been filed in the complaint, three of which violate California state laws by dismissing a person for religious discrimination. Diskeepers response to the matter was a motion filed to strike portions of the plaintiff's complaint.
