Like defense lawyers, it's only their job.

I can only hope, for the sanity of his former co-workers, that the court has the wisdom to dismiss his challenge.

I guess collective bargaining has its downside.

Fails to surprise me.

Union will probably demand a raise to go with the reinstatement, as compensation for their clients embarrassing termination, and subsequent humiliation.

Reminds me of the line in the John Cougar Mellancamp song "rain on the scarecrow"

The crops we grew last summer weren't enough to pay the loan
Couldn't buy the seed to plant this spring and the Farmers Bank foreclosed
Called my old friend Schepman up to auction off the land
He said John it's just my job and I hope you understand
Well calling it your job ol' hoss sure don't make it right
But if you want me to I'll say a prayer for your soul tonight



Dude ought not have a job anywhere. If the communitys came together and did the right thing, idiots like that would be out in the cold family and all, no mercy....everyone else would fall in line, and there wouldnt be a need for lawyers etc, lol.

of course it reminds me of another old (pretty much true) statement from a long time ago....."if you closed all the bars and liquor stores you could also close all the police stations"

Didn't seem to work during prohibition.

Its just a statement showing the unmistakable connection between dumb violent crimes and being "under the influence"
