I hope she gets a really big payday, with both compensatory and punitive damages, to teach Safeway a lesson.Judge rules in favor of a Safeway worker who was fired after trying to stop a shoplifter

Why do you think Safeway had this policy to begin with in regards to shoplifters?Big business. Money always is more important than people.
It is, this was a policy the union wantedI thought Safeway was a unionized grocery store in California?
Why did Big Labor let this chica get canned in the first place?
Tell it to the EDD Judge. You support lawlessness and are part of the reason major store have to pull out of high crime areas. You support the criminals.If company policy says don't try to stop shoplifters, and you do, including being party to the shoplifter being physically assaulted, should you not be fired for that? The company can decide what to do about thieves, not the individual employee.
You DO realize that the company can be sued if they are assaulted while shoplifting and receive injuries, right? The case would be far more than the 500 dollars worth of stolen merchandise.
If they appeal, they'll win. It's clear cut. Company policy says don't do exactly what she did.
But a chink in the chain is she had clocked out at that time. So she was now just a regular shopper. So it can get whack.

By shoplifters?So they don't get sued.
The store might close under those ideas.. Not every store has full time security, nor can they necessarily even afford it. Then you would be out of a job.I'd let them walk off with the whole store. It's not my job to protect the store. That's on the store to supply a full time security person.
By shoplifters?
Not anyone is shopliftingBy anyone.
Not anyone is shoplifting
Safeway should flee a state that allows shoplifters to sue their victims
Haha the employee wasn’t suedRamble on concerning that if you wish. Safeway wasn't concerned about the employees getting sued.

Good go with that.No I don't. I support a business's right to make rules that their employees have to follow. After all, it's THEIR stuff that's being stolen. If they say "Don't worry about it, don't give chase, don't interfere", and an employee breaks that rule, they can be fired.
I fully support the appeal of the business. It's sad that you don't support a business's right to make rules for the employees that THEY pay.
