Vegas Employer: Obama Won–So I Fired 22 Employees
November 7, 2012 6:09 PM
LAS VEGAS (CBS Las Vegas) — A Las Vegas business owner with 114 employees fired 22 workers today, apparently as a direct result of President Obama’s re-election.
“David” (he asked to remain anonymous for obvious reasons) told Host Kevin Wall on 100.5 KXNT that “elections have consequences” and that “at the end of the day, I need to survive.”
Here’s an excerpt from the interview. Click the audio tab below to hear even more from this compelling conversation:
“I’ve done my share of educating my employees. I never tell them which way to vote. I believe in the free system we have, I believe in the right to choose who they want to be president, but I did explain as a business owner that I have always put my employees first. I always made sure that when I went without a paycheck that made sure they were paid. And I explained that I always put them first and unfortunately I’m at a point where I’m being forced to have to worry about me and my family now and a business that I built from just me to 114 employees.

I really hope this continues.
It seems we need more laws.
It's amazing employers are this stupid.
But they are..and it seems legislation is the only way to correct this stupidity.
Force people to keep employees when they will lose money in doing so?
ROTFL
Naw.
Force employers to have reasonable rules about when they can fire an employee.
Political affliation is not protected.
Neither is there a law against firing people for "revenge".
The alternative is getting rid of those "Right to Work" laws and let Unions back in.
I'm good with either method.
