There has never been a strike in history that wasn’t an excuse for Marxist anarchists to have a day off.

Anybody who would be stupid enough to try this at my work would be immediately fired

I would love to see a YouTube video showing 10 minutes of ‘shocked illegal alien faces’ when they realized they had been fired because of this pompous little stunt.

I agree Charles- I just call them illegals.

Calling them “immigrants” is like calling a burglar who breaks into your home, an unwanted guest!

That is why I call them what they are:

Illegal Invaders

All I noticed was that traffic was lighter without all those rickety lawn maintenance trucks everywhere. Didn’t affect me at all.

Best man I ever worked for told me there were only two acceptable excuses for not coming to work:1. Your seeing eye dog has 4 broken legs. 2. A death in the family...Your's.

Worked us hard...paid us well...generous bonuses for work well done.

He went on to become Chairman of the Boards of Regents for the University of Georgia.

I love it when a liberal is asked, don’t you lock your door at night? Of course they do. They don’t want illegal invaders!

I went through the article and added up the numbers given and it totals 107.

That makes me think of a good joke for the next SNL. I am am sure they will like this one ;)

Q. What do you call 107 people fired for refusing to attend work?

A. A good start!

Que the audience falling about laughing!

It depends. They person has an opportunity to appeal. In my case, the employer's excuse was such BS that they didn't even bother to show up for the hearing. It didn't take but one day later to issue a decision in my favor.

Basically, the crooked employer was looking for an excuse to steal my accumulated vacation. The "reason" they cited was unbelievable BS.
