"It's Unfair" - Hispanic Workers Upset After Being Fired For Absence On "Day Without Immigrants"

The manager of the ironically named "I Don't Care" Bar and Grill in Catoosa, Oklahoma is hiring...



After firing 12 staff last week for violating his “no call/no show” policy.

If you're going to do some kind of protest for which you know there will be consequences, don't whine when those consequences become your reality.

More sarcastically, those immigrants thought they were showing the restaurant owner how much they were needed, and the owner showed them how much they really were needed. It would be interesting to learn how this played out for the restaurant and those fired.

Well, it appears that the place is shut down pending the hiring and training of replacements. That clearly will cost the owner in unrealized income and lost opportunity, but it also appears that McNally was and is prepared to absorb that cost.

It's refreshing to see a person stand on principle rather than cave in to demands and pressures.

Wrong may not be right anymore under Trump if things keep going the way they are (and he survives the deep state attacks to tell it).

Hoping that Americans who by their faith do not condone homosexuality are once again not forced to serve at the homosexual government throne.

As in bakers who are put out of business and ruined into bankruptcy because they refuse to stand on their 1st Amendment right by not baking queer wedding cakes or being force to photograph them at queer weddings.

There is still a remote possibility that right can STILL be right in the USA.

At Least 60 People In 5 States Lost Their Jobs After Participating In “Day Without Immigrants”

They’ve had these ‘days’ in prior years and the only notice they get is that some folks get canned.

Via Charlotte Observer:

    In at least five states, roughly 60 people lost their jobs this week after they skipped work to participate in the “Day Without Immigrants” protest on Thursday, according to local media reports.

    The protest, which was aimed at highlighting the importance of immigrants to the U.S. economy, called on all immigrants to not work or buy anything Thursday and succeeding in shutting down businesses across the country, according to CNN. It is unclear, however, how many people participated in the strike, according to ABC News.

    Still, around five dozen people say their participation in the protest cost them their employment as businesses fired them for not showing up to work.

    In Tulsa, Oklahoma, 12 Latino workers at the I Don’t Car Bar and Grill told KTUL that they were fired over text message because they did not show up for their scheduled shift and did not call in.

    “You and your family are fired. I hope you enjoyed your day off, and you can enjoy many more. Love you,” the restaurant owner texted one employee, according to screenshots provided to the station.

    The employees told KTUL that while they expected to be reprimanded for missing work, they did not expect to be fired. However, the owner maintained the move was not political and was simply the result of the bar’s strict “no show/no call policy.” The owner also told KTUL has fired others recently for the same offense. Tulsa Public Radio reports that the restaurant has already started looking for new workers.

    In King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, six workers at Bahama Breeze restaurant were barred from entering the building on Friday after missing work Thursday, a local activist told the Philadelphia Inquirer. As in Tulsa, none of the workers told their boss they would be missing work.

    The activist later said all the employees had been rehired after people called the restaurant to complain.

In Nolensville, Tennessee, 18 people were fired from Bradley Coatings, Incorporated, a local painting company, according to News Channel 5. The people fired told the news station that they informed their superiors on Wednesday that they would be participating in the protest and that when they failed to show up the next day, they were all fired.

Bradley Coatings confirmed the firings to News Channel 5 in a statement but also insisted that the terminations were not a political statement.

“The reason these employees missed work — to engage in peaceful demonstrations — had nothing to do with BCI’s decision to terminate them,” the statement read. “BCI regrets this situation, but it has contracted with its clients to complete work on a schedule set by the client’s general contractor.”

Yep.  Job opportunity.  I may well give them a call in the morning to see what they are paying for replacements.
