@thatguyoverthere @freemo @lmrocha @pj well the ancient Greeks summarized the logical fallacies. And probably about 90% of the media's content would fall into one of these categories.
Yup kt makes it harder to prove for sure. Point is it is still illegal for a company to fire someone ubder certain lines of reasoning.
@trinsec it was, thanks
@LouisIngenthron @realcaseyrollins
Its a bit more complicated than that.. in at will states you can fire someone "Without a reason", but if you have a reason (even jf you dont express it to the empluyee) ythe company may be accountable for what that reason happens to be.
@gpowerf yes
@realcaseyrollins @LouisIngenthron
Given the scenario I described should the company be allowed to fire them?
@realcaseyrollins @LouisIngenthron
The only kind of stroke im having is a stroke of genius :)
@realcaseyrollins @LouisIngenthron
Im on my phone. Fat fingers
@realcaseyrollins @LouisIngenthron
So how are they allowed to bust up unions.. if someone company suspects you and bill talked to eachother and told eachother each of your salaries, sk now the lower paid of you can gondemand a raise... can thry say those twonpeople just unionized and fire them both? When does it count as a union?
@realcaseyrollins @LouisIngenthron
I like the idea, despite the jokes
@realcaseyrollins @LouisIngenthron
What are you making illegsl thrn.. people can unionize without the union formally existing, as long as everyone cooperates
@realcaseyrollins @LouisIngenthron
Oh and list the weight of the fattest person they arrested, like a bass fisherman. Maybe take photos with their catch on a scale ;)
I mean as long as those gangs arent doing anythi g legal, yea, a "gang" has every right to exist and is perfectly protected by the law.
In reality gangs imply illegal acts though so...
Not all govt employees have public pressure, really only elected ones.
I would be ok with elected officials not being able to unionize though.
I also might like the jdea of making all police in a city elected positions.
@realcaseyrollins @LouisIngenthron
I dont see how you can be antiunion and proconstitution... you are saying people cant talk and coordinate amongst eachother? I mean even blocking police unions is muddy water in my head
@LouisIngenthron @realcaseyrollins
Or they didnt burn your mail but are accused of it and the union protects them... they do deserve to be able to protect themselves and work together to do that... to a point.
@freemo @realcaseyrollins Agreed. Taxpayers are the customers and the employers. We *are* the police union. Any union they form separately is in direct opposition to the general public they're meant to serve.
I wouldnt say thats the reason.. I mean im ok with govt employees like a mailman having a union.
I just dont think people who have qualified immunity should have access to unions that can protect them from proper scrutiny and disciplin.
