That figures. Unfortunately, this is a "right to work for less" state, so he might get away with this bullshit. Employers don't have to give you a reason when they fire you. That's if he's not just engaging in theater, and lying about firing people as a publicity stunt.

Hope Mr. Masterson turned over his 1/6 findings over to the DOJ.

but this ass DID give a reason: Discrimination. That changes things.

Labor laws do not look at things backwards like MAGATs do. This employee took legal, personal medical measures to maintain his health which violated no work laws or policies. He was actually a benefit to his employer.

Civil Rights office complaint time!

Discrimination is not covered under RTW. If he really did fire his vaccinated workers, he should be held to account. Even if he didn't fire anyone, his stupid Tik Tok will probably cost him customers.

Wed Oct 6, 2021, 06:32 PM
Oct 2021

In Texas I believe he can fire them legally (not an employment law attorney) as long as he did not base his decision to fire because of the employee’s race, religion, sex, national origin, being gay or pregnant.

Federal law prohibits termination of the above protected class. In a Right to Work state they do not have to give a reason. He can say he will fire the next employee that walks through the door and be ok. As long as he doesn’t violate federal law he is ok to do whatever he wants.

“Right to Work” is like the “Clear Skies” Act where the law allowed polluters to pollute more. They give a bad law a seemingly positive name to mask a bad law. These are just two of thousands of corporate friendly laws passed because we allow our politicians to be legally bribed with campaign donations. How can we fix our country’s problems? Eliminate donations, Super PACs, etc., and have publicly funded elections.

S. Carolina; where the "arrogance of un-informity" is counted for great worth and considered a personal blessing from gawd. Where politi-toads loll about in the sun, in plain sight, even stopping traffic as they hop from one stupid contradiction to another even more stupid. Yes, tradition has a strong supporter in the heart of every S. Carolinian. They still celebrate code-named "slave market" days, though for the sake of political correctness they NEVER use the term n----r in the company of strangers.

I know a little about some of them, otherwise, quite loveable folks. And still, I loved hanging at the bars on stilts in Mt. Pleasant and Sullivan's Island on October evenings as the tide rose neap and slack through the salt-reed beds.
