Thirteen Employees At Pei Wei In Chandler Terminated Over Decision To March

CHANDLER, Ariz. -- "We decided not to go to work because we don't want SB 1070 to go through," said Maria Laurean, who works at Pei Wei restaurant in Chandler.
Instead of clocking in, dozens of co-workers joined together at the Arizona state Capital.

"It’s nothing against the company, it’s just to show the American people, "who's going to run the restaurants?" Laurean said.
A day later, its seems employees got their supervisor's attention.
"We got fired,” said Pei Wei employee Elizabeth Serefin. “All of us that were at the march."

Serafin and 12 others are now unemployed, including one woman who has worked at the restaurant since it opened ten years ago.
"I can understand it because that’s their business and we were supposed to work, but come on, they have to understand us too," Serfin said.

Serafin said they all understood they were taking a risk, and as the general manager of Pei Wei in Chandler reaffirmed Sunday, it's just business, but for thirteen people, taking a chance to secure a future was more important than another day of work.

"If we want something to happen, we have to do something," Serafin said.
Laurean said she had Saturday off and still has her position at the restaurant.

Lawsuit tossed out by belly laughing judge in 9... 8... 7...

Arizona is a "right to work" state.  Employees can leave at any time, for any reason, with no notice given; contrarily, employers can drop you like a hot rock for any reason - or no reason at all - with no notice whatsoever.

"No call/no show" is just about as valid a reason to fire an employee as the restaurant needs to come up with.

They were fired and probably replaced less than 24 hours later.

I love it.

they have to understand us too

Um, nope.  They don't.




And Elias Johnson (the reporter), when someone uses the word "too" in that context, a comma always precedes it.  Without it, the sentence dangles.

 Darn don't you just hate it when a sentence dangles.

I have more problems with other things that dangle, say Clydale horses, stallions that scare the hell out of kids.
