Dozens Of Workers Fired After ‘Day Without Immigrants’ Protest

LAST THURSDAY, IMMIGRANTS THROUGHOUT THE UNITED STATES
DECIDED TO MISS A DAY OF WORK IN ORDER TO PROTEST AND MAKE A
VERY APPARENT THAT IMMIGRANTS ACTUALLY PROVIDE A LOT OF VALUE
TO SOCIETY THOUGHT IT WAS THE DAY WITHOUT IMMIGRANTS PROTEST
AND ESSENTIALLY IS WHAT THEY ARE SAYING IS A, WE ARE IMMIGRANTS
AND YOU THINK WE ARE WORTHLESS SO WHY DO WE SKIP WORK FOR
A DATE AND YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH ACTUALLY DISRUPTS YOUR LIFE.
THE PROTESTED HAPPEN AND I DO COMMEND EVERYONE WHO TOOK A
HUGE RISK BY PROTESTING AND BEING POLITICALLY ACTIVE.
WHY DO I SAY WAS A HUGE RISK A?
A LOT OF PEOPLE DID LOSE THEIR JOBS BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO
TAKE PART IN THE PROCESS.
ACCORDING TO THE BBC MORE THAN 100
WORKERS WERE FIRED.
ITíS REALLY DIFFICULT TO
PINPOINT THE EXACT NUMBER, BUT THOSE ARE THE ESTIMATES.
LET'S GIVE YOU THE SPECIFICS.
AMONG THOSE WHO SAID THE LOSS OF JOBS WERE 12
RESTAURANT WORKERS IN TULSA AND 18
EMPLOYEES AT A COMMERCIAL PAINTING COMPANY IN TENNESSEE.
THERE WERE ALSO 30 BRICK LAYERS WHO WERE FIRED IN COLORADO AND
THE CEO OF THE COMPANY THAT EMPLOYED THEM ESSENTIALLY SAID
THAT HEY, HE WARNED THEM.
YOU WANT TO BE POLITICALLY ACTIVE IN MISS AT THEY
WERE, THEIR CONSEQUENCES PTOLEMY GIVE YOU HIS EXACT QUOTE
THAT HE'S AS THEY WERE WARNED, IF YOU DO THIS YEAR HURTING
THE COMPANY, AND IF YOU GO AGAINST THE TEAM YOU'RE NOT
A MEMBER OF THE TEAM THOUGHT LATER ON HE SAID HE WOULD
BE OPEN TO REHIRING SOME OF THE PEOPLE THAT HE FIRED.
IS HE NOT MERCIFUL
I THINK THIS OPENS UP AN INTERESTING, VERSE ASIAN BECAUSE
THESE ARE PRIVATE BUSINESSES AND THEY HAVE THE RIGHT TO FIRE
PEOPLE IF THEY DO NOT FILE SUE WITH WHATEVER THE RULES ARE.
AT THE SAME TIME THOUGH A KIND OF SUCKS BECAUSE THIS IS
THE TYPE OF POLITICAL ACTIVISM THAT IS SO IMPORTANT RIGHT
NOW AND I THINK THE KIND OF MESSAGE THAT IT SENDS IS NOT
JUST IMPORTANT BUT IT INFORMS PEOPLE AND MAKES THEM AWARE
OF SOMETHING I THINK A LOT OF US TAKE FOR GRANTED AND THAT IS
THE VALUE IN THE CONTRIBUTION OF IMMIGRANTS IN THE UNITED STATES.
YES, WHICH YOU WOULDN'T HAVE WITHOUT THEIR ABSENCE TO
POINTED OUT THAT IS GREAT THAT THEY DID AND WE'RE GOING TO
GET INTO SOME OTHER ELEMENTS OF THIS A LITTLE BIT LATER ON
AND AS YOU SAID, AND A LOT OF STATES IF YOU WANT TO FIRE
SOMEONE COME OFF WITH HER HEAD.
YOU COULD JUST DO IT,
YOU DON'T HAVE TO GIVE ANY EXPLANATION, YOU
DON'T ANSWER TO ANYONE BECAUSE CONSERVATIVE STATE
LAWMAKERS HAVE GIVEN YOU WHATEVER RIGHTS YOU WANT.
AT THE SAME TIME, I HAVE ALSO WORKED IN A LOT OF
DIFFERENT COMPANIES.
I HAVE WORK AND CRAPPY LITTLE RESTAURANTS AND STORES IN THE
MALL AND TINY LITTLE PLACES WHERE I HAD NO SPECIAL SKILLS
AND IS EASILY DISPENSABLE AND YEAH I KNOW THAT THE VAST
MAJORITY OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T SHOW UP ONE DAY DON'T GET CANNED
INSTANTLY IF THERE IS ANOTHER REASON THAT THEY WANT TO DO IT
AND AGAIN, THEY CAN DO IT FOR WHATEVER RIDICULOUS BIGOTED
REASON THEY WANT TO, BUT WE ARE ABLE TO QUESTION THEIR ACTIONS
AND AS YOU POINTED OUT, THIS IS POLITICAL EXPRESSION.
ITS SPEECH UNDER THE DEFINITION SET FORTH BY THE SUPREME COURT.
THESE ARE PRIVATE BUSINESSES, AND ASSISTING THE GOVERNMENTS OF
THE FIRST AMENDMENT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS BUT IT IS ODD
THAT THE PEOPLE WHO SO FREQUENTLY GET WHAT THE FIRST
AMENDMENT NET MEANS WITH GOVERNMENT VERSUS PRIVATE
BUSINESS, THEY TALK ABOUT THE FIRST AMENDMENT AND THEY WANT TO
PROTECT PEOPLE'S RIGHT TO SPEECH BUT IT ONLY SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN
WHAT IS A WHITE SUPREMACIST OR SOMEONE WHO HATES MUSLIMS.
I DON'T SEE A LOT OF TWEETING GOING ON FOR THE PEOPLE WHO
SPOKE AND DID THE AMERICAN THING AND SPOKE FOR WHAT THEY
CARE ABOUT.
WHERE THE TWEETS?
WHEREíS THE OUTRAGE FOR THEIR FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS UNDER THE
DEFINITION THAT YOU USE, SUPPOSED FIRST AMENDMENT
ADVOCATES.
AGAIN, WE DON'T HAVE ACCURATE NUMBERS IN TERMS OF HOW MANY
PEOPLE GOT FIRED AS PART OF THESE PROTESTS, BUT WE DO
KNOW THAT THE NUMBER IS AROUND THE HUNDREDS I ONCE PUT
THINGS IN PERSPECTIVE.
CONSIDERING HOW MANY PEOPLE PROTESTED,
100 IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.
THESE ARE LIES THAT ARE BEING TOYED WITH WHICH REALLY
UPSETS ME, BUT I AM GLAD THAT MANY BUSINESS OWNERS
THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY DID SUPPORT THEIR EMPLOYEES AND
DIDN'T RETALIATE AGAINST THEM BECAUSE THEY WANTED TO GO
OUT THERE AND MAKE A POLITICAL POINT TO STAND.
THAT IS THE POSITIVE PART OF THE STORY.
