Ohio woman sues says she was fired for voting for Obama

[Papageorgio]

And I wouldn't delay the surgery a day, quit and move on. It's all about moving on from one bad apple and go to someone who appreciates your efforts and respects you as a person. Sorry, you aren't finding them.

Oh, yeah quit the job and not have the MONEY to pay for the insurance. That'd be fucking smart. What kind of fucked up alternative universe do you live in?

Again, it would be better if we simply had a system of strong workers rights, than just tolerate the assholes of the world.

Incidently, I spent most of the next year trying to get the fuck out of that job, but didn't find one that paid as well with the economy imploding thanks to Republican Mismanagement at that time. I did eventually take a job that I had rejected four months earlier because it didn't pay enough. I'm still there today.

So they could get along without you, you earlier said you were the only one that could do the job. So you lied?

No...I'll try using smaller words this time. I was told do do something dishonest. I flatly refused. I was fired because of it. Because the owner of the shop was crooked, I did my best to get the place shut down.

Guy, you can rationalize all you like.

He hurt you, you took revenge.

Good for you.

But don't try to dress it up as something noble.

No, but considering you are kind of Conservatarded, I'll use smaller words.

September 2007, they wouldn't let me take a day off for an operation.

July 2008, the let me go, after the GENIUSES who ran the place lost our biggest customer.

And they figured out that customer wasn't ever coming back, although they lied to themselves they were going to any day now.

It's not Republican mismanagement more than an individual's responsibility to SELF manage. People need to learn to plan better and make wiser choices for their lives, after all you are a product of your own environment and you need to stop looking to blame everyone else for your troubles. People need to learn to properly plan during the good times, for the bad ones are certainly to come and take hold of one's life. I wish the public school system would actually spend less time on sex ed and put some time and emphasis into teaching some financial ed, to better equip graduates for the road ahead.

Even funnier than Conservatards are LibaTARDians...

Seriously, instead of voter ID, we need Retard ID.

No amount of planning in the world could have prepared ANYONE for the fuck up that was 2008.

Cry me a river, why don't you.
Whatever has befallen the union movement in this country is self inflicted.
I will cite the Railroad Union. This is perhaps the most powerful union in the US. Work rules have changed little over decades.

When is the last time you saw a caboose on the as end of a freight train? Been a while.
Even with a powerful union as the one representing railroad workers, the union's insistence on keeping work rules pay and benefits which have had a direct causal effect in the closing or merger or federal takeover of rail companies has resulted in elimination of certain railroad jobs.
Union bosses will, with the threat of their business being adversely affected, will throw workers under the bus in a heartbeat.
When is the last time a union boss got shit canned?

Not sure what your point is here, other than your anger at working people.

Actually, I know a guy who had a job at the railroad, he quit it after a year because it was so dangerous. But you guys would cheat those guys out of a fair wage.

I believe this to be true, back in 2004 I fired some employees at a Casino in Las Vegas that I was part owners in, as soon as they announced that Dubya won, I had all the Dubya supporting shit talker fired the next day.
You should not talk politics at the work place, not just to be sensitive in the new age, it should be considered good advice, because it will save your job.

If you had read the women's story, you'd know that her boss allegedly asked employees how they voted.

That may work for the media reporting on the lawsuit, but it won't wash in the real world.
As I previously stated, this woman's attorney will be buried in paper and motions for the next 5 years.
An "at will" employer retains absolute discretion as to whom they employ.
This is a fact that your side ignores.

Okay, in the real world. no one is going to pay for Lawyers at $400.00 an hour in billable hours for four years to fight a lawsuit from a woman who probably only wants a year or two in salary.

If this is"just about the money", that is.

Guess the words were still too big. Revenge would have been burning the dude's house down and/or taking a hammer to his knees & elbows. I shut a crooked shop down. (He's not the only one I have called on.)

Actually, railroad jobs aren't especially dangerous. Try again!

How interesting. You've sought revenge on SEVERAL employers.

I got to give you credit, usually I'm like, "Whatever, dude". Only really did the revenge thing once.

Obviously, you don't have the testicles to burn down the guys house or commit assault, but man, you'll get totally passive aggressive getting teh government you hate to do your dirty work for you.

Just as long as they aren't giving food to poor people or nothin' like that... bunch of socialists.

So you lasted less than a year, I'd looked for a job and jumped right away, I won't let any business my master. Sorry, you couldn't stand up for yourself, at least I now understand your thinking.

I would. On principle. I would instruct my attorney to litigate this thing well into the next decade. If anything to send a message to the next greedy bastard that I am not living in fear of lawsuits.
I would imagine lots f businesses are taking the same path because they are sick of frivolous suits.
This one is crap..Goes nowhere.
BTW, many businesses have attorneys on staff or on retainer.

What was he doing? And working around trains has risks.

Hey road kill breath. I am on the side of working people. That's why I despise unions.
The reason why there are no brakemen or firemen or conductors on freight trains any longer is BECAUSE of union demands to keep ancient work rules.
Of course modern electronic switching and radio communication have lessened the need for crews larger than two on a fright train.

Oh, I was looking for a job... just nothing I liked... and of course, the economy was in a state of collapse.

I just didn't feel like taking a cut in pay right off the bat.

I don't intend to let any business be my master.

I also don't intend to keep voting for fuckwads who keep putting the interests of companies over working people.

There's simply no good reason for it.

Oh, you think big companies are on the side of working people? Really?

Please.

So let me guess, you tried to get a cushy union job and they wouldn't take you. That's where all this anger comes from.
