I hope this guy takes the Pep Boys to the cleaners.

Take them to the cleaners? It's quite possible that there could be a felony criminal conviction and prison sentences. And if they do it again after that, they could face criminal and civil racketeering charges, to include triple damages for every penny's expenses incurred by the victims of their crimes, as well as getting to pay for the plaintiff's attorneys at 1.5 times their usual rate, typically $295 per hour for such work- and the award for back pay can be doubled, as well as a fee for interest.

PepBoys is about to learn about the USERRA. And I suspect they'll not enjoy their education.

Sounds like Manny, Moe, and Jack are going to be having some bad days ahead.

Yes, you have to wonder what kind of legal advice this company has been getting.
