Reply to comment by halfanothersdozen in Apple illegally fired five labor activists, union says | The workers, who were disciplined and fired for attendance-related issues, believe they were let go because of their union organizing by chrisdh79

Except that you can challenge the "cause". Having a "cause" doesn't mean that the cause is either valid or true. Union busters would use reasonably sounding arguments until you look more closely. (Like he has been doing that for 4 years, so we fired him. But we only fired him when he started to do union forming activities)

They publicly harassed their coworkers. They should be fired for that alone. Nothing else they do changes this. They have no case. Fuck them. Fuck the union defending bullies.

Orrrrrrrrr could it be that the company was being lenient, giving the employee chance after chance to change their ways.... and then it became apparent that the employee thought the rules did not apply to them so they were terminated.
