Lawsuit Filed Against Company after Reported Attack on Union Organizers

A civil rights lawsuit was filed on Monday against owners of Hirex Construction and others according to a story appearing on the Los Angeles and Orange County Building and Construction Trades web site after five organizers were reportedly attacked while conducting lawful union activity. Picketing at the 10th Street and San Pedro Street project continued again today with union members in high spirits offering their support. Starbucks coffee and doughnuts were provided this morning. Work appears to have been halted at the site.

Lawsuit by Fired Circuit City Workers

The lawsuit against Circuit City by three of the fired employees alleges age discrimination. It makes since that workers with greater lengths of service were likely the highest paid and probably older workers as well.

What kind of a slimy management team would do that? Firing 3,400 employees “allowing” them to reapply after 10 weeks for their former position at lower pay is such an insult. Morale must be at an all time low at Circuit City.

I will never shop at Circuit City again.

Will you?
