NASHVILLE, Tenn. - 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.

On Friday they celebrated “A Day Without A Job”. LOL
Chit happens. They messed with the wrong boss.
These employees told their boss (through the supervisors) “to hell with your production, processing, sales and scheduling. WE are protesting stupid sh!t and we won’t be here tomorrow.”
What else did they think would happen? They can go on unemployment or something. Who cares?
The phrase, “Don’t bite the hand that feeds you” comes to mind.
Me likey....berry, berry much!
Ooops, looks like someone didn’t think things through.

Question No. 1 during hiring interview: Are you now or have you ever been a member of leftist activist groups or the progressive movement?
They were warned...actions have consequences.
And as Nancy Pelosi famously with Obanacare they are free to pursue their passions without fear of losing their health insurance...
Probably spoiled lazy asses who use any excuse to take off work.
Really, how dumb.
‘Feel good story’...
“You need us! Just to show you how much you need us, we’re not coming to work!”
“Well, don’t bother coming back because, you know what? I don’t need you.”
Mine Too!
It is amazing that these workers felt it was their option when to work and when NOT to work. The company has obligations to its customers who expect that timely schedules are met. These employees disregarded their responsibility to their customers. Good for management.
Doesn't termination for cause disqualify workers for unemployment payments?
Stupid games, stupid prizes. Boss did the right thing.
You have free speech/free expression.
And so do I.
Ah! Another class-action lawsuit for Soros to fund!
