General Strike Feb. 17: planned #nationalstrike against Trump

[AnthonyS]

So a bunch of people with no jobs are going to take the day off to protest Trump? Day off from what, panhandling?

[Gasser64]

Sounds like a good day to open carry, go to work and run some errands on the way home.

I'd be curious how that would play out. Guy is open carrying something Dirty Harry would own, walking around near violent protesters. Would they give him a wide berth? Or would they turn suicidal?

[Sean88gt]

These fuckwads think they have 100% support, and that they will be able to oust Trump. Time to cull the herd.

[Juiced4v]

LOL...like the wall that was suppose to be finished already...it wont happen

[Fastback]

Anybody notice a strike? It was on the news and nation wide. I think maybe there was less traffic?

[The King]

We had two contractors at our house on the 17th that I suppose must not have given a shit about this joke of a "protest".

[orphan Shelby]

Didn't notice a damn thing.

[helosailor]

Business as usual at the auto parts store. lol

[Fastback]

Well. No wonder I had to ask and this thread was all but dead.

Employees Across U.S. Fired After Joining ‘Day Without Immigrants’ Protest

http://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/...grants-n722991

More than 100 protesters across the country were fired from their jobs after skipping work to take part in last week's "Day Without Immigrants" demonstration.

Restaurants and day cares were among the businesses in states like Florida, Tennessee, Oklahoma and New York where bosses fired workers after they didn't show up for work in order to protest.

In Nolensville, Tennessee, nearly 20 employees at Bradley Coatings, Incorporated — a commercial painting company — were laid off after participating in the nationwide strike on Thursday, NBC4 reported.

The company's attorney, Robert Peal, said in a statement obtained by the news station that all employees were told they risked termination if they skipped work on Thursday, but 18 did so anyway.

The attorney wrote: "Regretfully, and consistent with its prior communication to all its employees, BCI had no choice but to terminate these individuals. The reason these employees missed work — to engage in peaceful demonstrations — had nothing to do with BCI's decision to terminate them."

That same day in Florida, several staff members at Grace Community School in Bonita Springs told NBC2 they planned participate in Thursday's protest. Two employees claimed they were fired as a result, though the head of the school insists no one was terminated.

Asked by a reporter why the cause was important, Brenda Botello, who quit on Friday because she was afraid of being fired, said: "Because we are Mexicans... We need to find another job."

At Ben's Kosher Delicatessen Restaurant & Caterers in Long Island, New York, 25 workers were fired Friday when they returned to work, according to Telemundo 47. Police escorted the workers from the restaurant — most of whom were undocumented and have worked there for years.

Some social media users are calling on others to boycott the small businesses and restaurants that fired immigrant workers.

MAGA!!

Many of these business owners should be fined for knowingly employing illegals, regardless of anything else going on.

[naynay]

lets keep things fair, the president himself hire's illegals.
