A dozen workers at a Catoosa restaurant are without a job today after getting fired for skipping work as a show of support for A Day Without Immigrants.
The restaurant workers are all Hispanic and they say it was important to them to participate in the national protest.
But they didnt think it would cost them their jobs.
They feel like theyve been unfairly terminated," said a friend, translating for the employees.
The group worked at I Dont Care Bar and Grill in Catoosa. They talked to us after they were fired for not showing up to work. They asked us to not show their faces or give their names.
(Theyve) been working there for almost two years since the restaurant opened," said the friend.
The group willingly chose to stay home with others across the country supporting A Day Without Immigrants.
(Theyre) upset they stood for something they felt was necessary so the community would stand together, and they got terminated for that," said the friend,
The six are a part of a group of 12 kitchen staff let go.
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.

Most SANE employees know that if you don’t have a very good reason for not showing up for work means you do not have a job anymore...
Something apparently these jokers didn’t learn, but will be learning now...
When you are hired in any job, you are a member of a team, and if you don’t show up you let down a leg of that team...
Try that when your a Sheriff’s dispatcher and see how long you last!!!
*I Don’t Care*
“You and your family are fired. I hope you enjoyed your day off, and you can enjoy many more. Love you.
If he has a copy of their social security cards on file (no matter how crudely forged) he's probably OK.
FINALLY!!!
Not giving ****s is how you diffuse political correctness.
Gee, I wonder why?
“The owner did share with us hes fired other employees over the past two years for violating the his no call/no show policy.” Simple, clean, closed case.
Pic looks like a typical spots bar & grill in Tulsa. I imagine they won’t use it as a reference ;-)
Always enjoy watching the unintended consequences hit proggies smack! between the eyes.
I wouldn’t patronize this restaurant simply because now it is a known fact that they hire illegals.
You mean actions really do have consequences?
“They shouldt have been working there in the first place. The employer knew it and the employee knew it. The employer should have stiff fines and the ILLEGALS should be deported.”
You are posting FAKE news about IDC. Unless you have other info that says they were illegals.
As Mr. Burns would say, Excellent... ;)
“And were they replaced by other immigrants?”
*************************************************************
Probably but these new employees will probably NOT take unapproved time off from work.
Or, put another way, you don’t show up, you screw all your coworkers so... screw you.
The I Don’t Care Bar & Grill. If they complain just point to the sign.
Maybe they didn’t think of the consequences because they thought they were brilliant, intellectual, Progressive geniuses who are above the law.
IMHO
But they didnt think it would cost them their jobs.
Good!
‘But they didnt think it would cost them their jobs.’
Obviously they were wrong.
They are not necessarily illegals. A lot of them have their papers but still feel ‘solidarity’ I guess.
And the restaurant owner probably told them it would hurt business if they all refused to show up - they thought Obama’s rules still reigned....
