NASHVILLE, Tenn. - A total of 18 people were fired from a Tennessee business after joining the nation-wide protest "A Day Without Immigrants."
The 18 employees at Bradley Coatings, Incorporated in Nolensville, Tennessee told their supervisors on Wednesday they'd be taking part in the nationwide movement. Then, on Thursday, they were told they no longer had jobs.
"We are the team leaders directly under the supervisors and they informed us last night that we could not go back to work and the boss said we were fired," one employee said.

Not fulfilling a commercial contract can lead to eating your entire loss and not having more work after the word gets around. This can kill a business in a heartbeat.
This is what should happen everywhere!
Ditch work for politics - get fired!
Plenty of people willing to work - now some different ones will get the opportunity!
We're all immigrants, it's the illegal we have trouble with. A legal walking off of work is a fool.
As well it should have!
I just returned from Tenn. Except for maybe nastyville you won't see the crap there that we do here, especially crap at UMES.
As they should!!
GOOD!
I'm not an immigrant! I was bred, born and raised, 5th generation! My g, g, g, g, grandparents were immigrants!
Problems with your recent action
1. You lost 18 workers who are trained and know that job
2. You will now have to train new worker to fill the jobs
3. The new workers will take some time to onboard and train thus missing "your supposed deadline"
4. Your employee cost will go up because you will force to spend more on wages.
5. The negative media attention will be greater than the positive media attention.
My suggestion:
Write them up for not showing up but express how valuable they are to company. You get the best of both worlds.
People will work their butts off for you if they know you have their back.
The did the right thing firing them. They knew the consequences of their actions. They lost 18 workers who did not show up to do their job. There is nothing wrong training 18 new people who will actually show up to work. The staff that is left will make sure the deadline and jobs will be completed. Doubtful they will get much negativity from the media and if they do there are more citizens and customers that will support them for getting rid of 18 problems who don't show up. Have no sympathy for those who did not show up
That's exactly what all businesses should have done.
247 pay overtime to fill the orders. I'm glad they were fired. You obviously are special kinda of stupid!! Do you need a cyber hug now snowflake?
They made a choice.
Their former boss honored their choice by enabling them to protest each & every day of the week!
Problems with your comment.
1. You are wrong on all 5 of your points.
2. You either are barely literate or cannot type.
3. Nobody cares what an obvious snowflake like yourself thinks.
4. Maybe understand they had rules, knew the rules, and broke the rules.
My suggestion.
Tske your liberal crap over to mollys group. You'll be much more understood and appreciated there.
