In case you missed it, a former Democratic candidate for Lt. Gov was noted in the Argus today in the case of a sick employee being fired from his company for…. well, being sick, and the lack of protections thereof:
Bell, Inc. CEO Ben Arndt would only confirm that Tom McLaughlin had been a night supervisor for the Sioux Falls-based company.
“We respect our employee’s privacy, and our policy is to not discuss employee’s personal matters with anyone other than the employee,” Arndt wrote in an email. “We would encourage anyone who can meet the requirements of an open position to apply or to re-apply.”
Arndt was the 2010 Democratic candidate for Lieutenant Governor of South Dakota, running on a ticket with Scott Heidepriem.
The ticket ran into problems when they ignored that part of the law which says the running mate has to be of the same party, and they were left scrambling to get the county auditor to change his registration to Democrat prior to nomination.
““We respect our employee’s privacy, and our policy is to not discuss employee’s personal matters with anyone other than the employee”
OBVIOUSLY, the employee has waived his right to privacy by speaking with the AL.
Another mean & ugly Democrat being mean & ugly.
‘Another mean & ugly Democrat being mean & ugly.’
I hope you don’t think Republicans aren’t ‘mean & ugly’. Because you would be VERY wrong.
Name one prominent Rep. who has fired a sick employee for talking sick days?
Your silly “they’re all the same” suggestion is just blatherr.
