Clearwater Police Report Number SR3.1 RU-2, Lt. Emmons, Eighth Circuit, Federal Courts, St. Louis, MO. practices., I, Mr. Garrin
Date:
January 26, 1984
Clearwater Police Report Number SR3.1 RU-2 Lt. Emmons receives a copy of a court ruling decided in the Eighth Circuit of the Federal Courts, St. Louis, MO. The thrust of this case involved religious institutions employing volunteer workers in capacities other than religious practices. I contacted Mr. Garringer of the U.S. Wage and Hour Commission. I explained to Mr. Garringer how Scientology uses their employees in various capacities other than religious pursuits. Mr. Garringer told me this court ruling in question did not apply to the Scientology organization. In the court ruling in question, Donovan vs. Tony and Susan Alamo Foundation, church members were working totally outside the church in a for-profit corporation run by the same church. In Scientology, all the corporations are on a not for profit basis and fall under the umbrella of the Church of Scientnlogy of California; therefore, the ruling does not apply.
