A Texas church fired a worker who spoke to health authorities about pests in its daycare center, per OSHA.
The worker said he'd spotted rats, roaches, and spiders in the facility's kitchen and cafeteria.
OSHA ordered New Mount Zion Baptist Church to rehire him and pay him $31,000 in back wages and damages.
The next day, the worker was told he was being terminated based on a vote by the church's board, per OSHA.
In a preliminary order, OSHA told the church to reinstate the worker and pay him more than $11,000 in back wages and $20,000 in damages.
