Businessman Fires Obama Supporters: "Love it-We had to let 2 employees go to cover Obongocarecosts"
Utah business owner fires two who backed Obama
Labor » Reacting to Obamacare costs, he cuts pair to save.

First, the owner of a smoothie bar in Vernal is charging liberals more for a cup of juice. Now, a Cedar City business owner who let two workers go because of Obamacare costs said he picked the pair in large part because of their support for President Obama.

Terry Lee, owner of Terry Lee Forensics, showed his support for the Vernal smoothie bar’s practice of trying to recoup the costs it says are incurred because of liberal policies by posting in the comments section of a story about it in Thursday’s Salt Lake Tribune.

    "Love it. We had to let two employees go to cover new Obongocarecosts and increased taxes," Lee wrote. "Found two Obongo supporters and gave them the news yesterday. They wanted the idiot in the Whitehouse , they reap the benefits."



Contacted by The Tribune Thursday, Lee said he picked the two employees in large part on the basis of their politics.

Sometimes ownership is forced on you. Sorry.


Much hand-wringing and fist-shaking ensues. Yet those of us who were on CU and then CC remember well how many DUmasturbation threads there were about Bush supporters getting fired for their beliefs.

"They were Obama supporters. We just knew they were," Lee said. "I implied that sort of tongue and cheek [in the comments section] but there were other issues, too. They were not top performers."

Now the DUmp..

3. Is that legal?
Back to the article...
Quote
"It doesn’t violate any of the statutes we enforce, which cover race, religion, age, gender, national origin," said Mary Jo O’Neill, regional attorney for the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in the Phoenix office, which covers Utah.

Although other states do prohibit such firings based on local statutes, Lauren Scholnick, a Salt Lake City labor and employment attorney, said that in Utah "there isn’t a clear statute that prohibits someone from firing someone based on their political views in private employment."

According to the Utah Labor Commission website, "employment in Utah is generally ‘at-will.’ This means that an employer can fire an at-will employee without cause and without notice."

6. Even still, I bet this scumbucket could be sued...
Deliberately targeting someone like that has to be illegal at some level, state or federal.
Nope, not illegal. Nope, can't get crap out of a frivolous lawsuit.

37. At-will employees have legal protections too. The NLRB might be interested.

I hope they can get a good lawyer to work for them. 
Around and around they go. :rotf:

Hey, I got a better idea for you DUmmy.  Why don't you add Terry Lee Forensics and that smoothie bar in Vernal to the ever expanding boycott list you guys are always waving around.  That'll show those evil business owners...

"At will" means you can fire them for combing their hair wrong, without giving them a chance to go to the restroom and change it.  Or even for just having hair.  ESAD on that lawsuit, DUmmies.

 :lmao: :rotf: :rofl:

The DUmmies claim that only NY, CA and DC have laws covering political activity.  No other states.  But you would know an Obama supporter by their lazy, incompetent performance.  Document that, and you're good to go.  Nobody needs deadwood hanging around these days.  They keep screaming LAWSUIT! LAWSUIT! LAWSUIT! over there.  They don't realize just how hard it is to get a wrongful discharge claim.  Lots of precedent.

We warned you dummie. Since dummies tend to be marginal employees at best, this was bound to happen.

You wanted it, you worked for it, your were successful and now you

Hey DUmbasses, remember the Red & Black Cafe, that moonbat hole-in-the-wall in Portland that wouldn't serve the cop for political reasons? You cheered the hell out of that. Different situation here but the principle is the same. Maybe Obama worshipers make the other employees "uncomfortable". Reap what you sow, MFers.

Couldn't have said it better. ^5

I guess the DUmmies still have much to learn about the law of unintended consequences.  :-)
