Don't worry, the NLRB is fixing that as we speak.

Days Inns are terrible. I've stayed in a few and they are dumps. Customer service is non-existent and every employee and manager looks miserable. I'm surprised Wyndham owns them. The hotels should be unloaded on some unsuspecting buyer.

Wyndham Worldwide, which operates the Days Inn brand, said in a statement that “while we do not control or oversee staffing decisions at our franchised locations, we do require that each independently owned and operated hotel comply with all local, state and federal laws, especially as it relates to employment practices. While we can’t speak to the specifics of this or any particular situation at a franchised location, please know that ours is an organization which values and respects the contributions of all associates and that we encourage each of our franchisees to do the same.”

Thats a whole lot of Nothing from Wyndham.

First, I respect the fact that this woman is working.

This line though, “she and her family are living off a recent tax refund check that won’t last past March.”, begs a question.

Why would someone making minimum wage be paying so much in withholding that they would get a refund?

Of course we all know the answer. She did not get a refund of taxes SHE paid she got free government handout from taxes other people paid, or $ the government has borrowed.

... a 25-cent bump in the Arkansas minimum wage that would make it easier for her to buy diapers for her grandson.

I suppose it's possible that both parents, plus all the aunts, uncles and responsible adult members of the family, died in a tragic boating accident leaving Grandma as the sole caregiver.

But I doubt it.

Don’t talk to police. That includes the PC police, reporters, and generally, socialists.

In the India caste system, Patel is at the top.

To fire a subordinate who spoke to media, means nothing. She is several caste levels down.

“buy diapers for her grandson”

Tell your daughter or son to get a job...

Good for him. If any of my employees complained to the media about their wages, I would gladly help incentive them to find a new job by freeing them from the one they aren’t happy with.

She works at a hotel, her name is Tippen, and she can’t figure out how to earn more money?

If you publicly complain about your job, what exactly should you expect to happen?

This thread looks like something from DU.

She was fired so she can go find a better paying job, this is what she was begging for.

Minimum wage goes up and some minimum wage employees have to be let go to balance the books. Only makes sense to let go the one employee you know supported the wage extortion.

This is actually a good policy for a business to have, to let its employees know that if they even talk to the press, they are fired. Importantly, there should be a press representative who speaks for the business, so the employees also know that when anyone from the press asks them a question, they are to refer them to the representative.

The reason for this policy is to keep vipers out, journalists more than willing to destroy your business just to get a sensational headline.
