I spent 12 years working in shoe factories. You would not beleive some of the crap that went on there. But this is an "at will" State. An employer has a right to fire you for just about any reason. Therefore they have alot of leeway about smaller matters such a this one. And what they did, though I also agree is unethical, I don't beleive would be considered illegal. (Except perhaps the forged schedual book but that'd be hard to prove)
Beleive me, if I thought I'd get anywhere by raising cain, I would. One of the reasons I went into politics was because I've always had a stronger distaste for injustices then most people I know. I've long been perplexed as to how so many just shrug their shoulders about things that are clearly "wrong". Knowing you Cheswick, I'm sure you can relate. :-)
But 6 years in politics has taught me that one is much more effective by picking their battles carefully. I've become a firm beleiver in giving up on some battles in order to win the war. Fighting a losing one on principle alone, while noble, renders one much less effective of a warrior when more important things come along.
So for now I'll just have to be content with ranting on DU. I know rants are annoying, but they DO make you feel better. :-)
