Heading: Veterans' Reemployment Rights Act

Text: 29 Appellants' complaint under the Veterans' Reemployment Rights Act, 38 U.S.C. § 4312, concerns only Taylor, as he was the only Appellant who left employment at OG&E for military service. 8 However, when Taylor accepted the Offer, he signed a release and waiver of all claims in law or in equity that may arise under . . . the Vietnam Era Veteran's Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974. Because that release is valid, see supra; see also Leonard v. United Air Lines, Inc., 972 F.2d 155, 159 (7th Cir. 1992) (There is no question that veterans can waive their rights to reemployment and the perquisites of seniority after their return from service.), we find Taylor's Veterans' Reemployment Rights Act claims released, and affirm the district court's grant of summary judgment for defendants. 9
