"It's Unfair" - Hispanic Workers Upset After Being Fired For Absence On "Day Without Immigrants"
ZeroHedge ^ | February 18, 2017

Posted on 02/19/2017 4:28:32 AM PST by Zakeet

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


Needing experienced kitchen staff. Line cooks, prep cooks, and dishwashers apply now!

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

Fox Baltimore reports that the workers are without a job after getting fired for skipping work as a show of support for "A Day Without Immigrants."

The restaurant workers are all Hispanic and say it was important to them to participate in the national protest.
But they didn't think it would cost them their jobs.
"They feel like they've been unfairly terminated," said a friend, translating for the employees.

The owner fired them by text message.

A message to one of the employees reads: "You and your family are fired. I hope you enjoyed your day off, and you can enjoy many more. Love you.'

The group willingly chose to stay home with others across the country, supporting "A Day Without Immigrants."

"(They’re) upset they stood for something they felt was necessary so the community would stand together, and they got terminated for that," said the friend.

Restaurant owner Bill McNally gave us a written statement, saying he has a "zero tolerance policy for no show/no call incidents and the 12 employees violated that policy."

We didn't know that we would unfairly terminated for taking an unauthorized day off in order to stand together in a necessary protest against racist Gringos!

Oklahoma is an at-will state. Except for very narrow circumstances, an employer can fire at will. Not showing up for work so you can demonstrate is not one of the narrow circumstances. Further, this employee doesn’t have an Obama DOJ to intimidate the employer.

Life is hard. It’s even harder when you’re stupid.

Very clearly stated “NO CALL NO SHOW” Otherwise known as job abandonment. These clowns had total disregard towards their jobs and the Restaurant they worked for. If the Owner had his i’s dotted and t’s crossed this was clearly documented in Employee orientation.

Bet the day didn’t stop the welfare checks. Seems there are more on the taxpayer dime and fewer working every year so the impact on work that day was not overwhelming.

What is more offensive is that they believe ‘what they feel’ overrides they law.

Also, their smugness in knowing they are bulletproof infuriates me. They should have no rights here. I they want rights, go back to Mexico.

"pleasure derived by someone from another person's misfortune"

But is it "misfortune" if the person brought it on himself? Maybe their "friend" can ask them and get back to us.
