From the fox article on same: (look for the irony) Twelve Latino employees from the I Don’t Care Bar and Grill in Tulsa, Okla. told Fox 23 News they were fired over text message because they didn’t show up for their shift and failed to let their employers know about their absence. The employees told the station they expected to be reprimanded, but not dismissed.
The firings led to an outcry in the community.
“If you have 12 people who feel strongly and want to make a stand, I think management should have taken a look at that and at least stood by them or give them some time,” Catherine Bishop, of Broken Arrow, told Fox 23 News.
The restaurant had already posted on Facebook seeking employees for its open positions.

....looks to me, that management gave them all the time they need.
An unemployed Jester, is nobody's Fool.
the only real difference between a good tracker and a bad tracker, is observation. all the same data is present for both. The rest, is understanding what you're seeing.

It's plain stupefying that anyone actually thinks a private business should have to give consideration for employees taking off to make a political statement.

and really, that IS the position of so many in America today. The agenda driven left has disconnected from common sense and reality.

If 12 staff members from a single shift don't show up, your restaurant is closed for that shift. Is anyone talking about the money lost to that business owner? Besides, every employee manual of every restaurant owner I know has a clause that says if you don't show up for your shift without notice, you are resigning. They got what they asked for.

I also imagine there were FAR more than 100 fired nationwide.
The silly part is that they will be on welfare or unemployment now, and probably making more money than they were holding a job.

This is a good thing, but IMO it is exactly what the left was hoping for.
Next we will see a poor helpless family man who lost his job exercising his First Amendment Rights paraded in front of American declaring President Trump a Monster.
More important then the propaganda that will come, is the lawsuits.
Expect these small businesses all across America to be dragged into court, and sued. Putting them in extreme financial distress.
Give a man a fish and he eats for a day. Give a man a welfare check, a forty ounce malt liquor, a crack pipe, an Obama phone, free health insurance. and some Air Jordan's and he votes Democrat for a lifetime.

Especially the First Amendment. Sure, they can exercise their 1st Amendment rights, but they have to live with the consequences of their actions.

Right, that is exactly why the propaganda core in the MSM will be successful in demonizing Trump on this issue.

IF they had given some advance notice, arrangements of some sort might have been made to allow some of them to have their fun.
Not asking the boss know was just stupid.
What fresh Hell is this?
