Illegals Upset They Lost Their Jobs For Missing Work

This just goes to show you the attitude many illegal immigrants have...

<<< A manager at a Detroit meatpacking plant said Monday that 15 immigrant women were fired last month after attending a protest for immigrant rights. He said they had been told that they would be terminated if they missed work on the day of the protest.

But the workers and an activist working on their behalf said the women were given no such assurances. If the workers knew they would have been fired for attending the March 27 rally in Detroit, they never would have skipped the morning shift, said Elena Herrada, a Detroit activist who is trying to help the women get their jobs back. >>>

I don't know about you, but if I blew off work to go to a rally, or something else for personal reasons, I could safely assume that my job was in jeopardy. And, it would be my fault. I wouldn't be having an activist trying to get me my job back.

But then again, I wouldn't just blow off work for a rally either.
