Three former employees of the late John MacArthur’s megachurch have filed a lawsuit, claiming they were forced to work on an asbestos-laden construction site in a rush job to build a new school. Then, when the workers complained to Grace Community Church (GCC) and refused to drop the matter, GCC fired them, they say.
When asbestos turned up in the tile flooring, supervisors from Grace Community Church (GCC) lied to the workers, they say, claiming a lab test found no asbestos.
The workers stated they worked with no protective equipment and returned home to their families—and a newborn baby—with the cancer-causing fibers on their clothes, court records show.
Now Mauricio Calderon, Jose Lara, and Chad Pritchett are suing the Sun Valley, California-based church and up to 100 unnamed “Does.”
“Hour after hour, they breathed in dust, debris got on their hands and under their nails, and particulate settled on every inch of their skin, clothing, and hair,” the suit states. “They brought it home with them, releasing it into the air, where their families—including a newborn infant and immunocompromised wife—breathed it in.”
