"A total of 18 people were fired from a Tennessee business after joining the nation-wide protest 'A Day Without Immigrants.'
The 18 employees at Bradley Coatings, Incorporated in Nolensville, Tennessee told their supervisors on Wednesday they'd be taking part in the nationwide movement. Then, on Thursday, they were told they no longer had jobs.
'We are the team leaders directly under the supervisors and they informed us last night that we could not go back to work and the boss said we were fired,' one employee said.
The former employee asked to remain anonymous but had this message to his former boss.
'I would tell him he was unfair, after working for them for so many years, giving him our best. They could not understand that it was just one day. We were going to make up that day on a Sunday, but they didn't understand that, and it was not the best way. They didn't give us an opportunity and just told us we were fired,' he said." ...
You were "team leaders," eh? Well then, you should have known better than to be willfully insubordinate towards your employer. You deem your dismissal to be "unfair" ... that you were not "given an opportunity" (an "opportunity" for what you do not say - probably to argue your case for not being fired, eh?) ... however, YOU NEVER GAVE YOUR EMPLOYER ANY OPPORTUNITY TO ARGUE THE MERITS AND THE COSTS OF YOU WALKING OFF THE JOB, now did ya?! So, you just unilaterally decided to skip work - the hell with whatever problems that might cause your employer. Employment is a two-way street, dumbass ... you made a unilateral decision and now your employer has made a unilateral decision. Goodbye, idiot.
