She also alleges that her discharge was the result of a “conspiracy” between the employer and union, with knowledge of her religious beliefs, and was in violation of her constitutional rights to religious freedom and her rights under the Civil Eights Act of 1964 (42 USCA § 2000), and OES 659.020 and 659.030.
