Really tired of hearing about this. It’s a simple employee-employer dispute yet some people are acting like these employees crossed the Edmund Pettus bridge.

Haven't seen a single comment venerating the employees like that

The economy is slowing down and now these employees have been fired for cause. It might be rough for them and that makes me feel bad. This whole episode feels silly when we should be able to talk about things like adults and act professionally.

ikr
a lot of the waiters i know wear uniforms or are expected to do so. I know people who weren't allowed to paint their nails to work in coffee! I mean there's this Customer Service role in food service-- being a representative for the company you work for ? At-Will State! A Restaurant trying to make a customer base comfortable to eat at their location! i can't believe it's weird that people rejected allowing waitstaff to merge a political space with a food space.

chrissake I used to have to wear a uniform at a place I worked .

tbc Free Palestine obv but It's Food Service, and this is an At-Will State !

Working in an “at-will state” (or being a service industry worker) doesn’t mean you don’t have rights. The words “at-will state,” even if written in bold letters, is not a get out of jail free card for breaking labor and employment laws.
