quote[Two grocery store employees have been fired after they didn't punch out while viewing a 300-vehicle funeral procession for a soldier who was killed in Iraq.
Polly's Country Market store produce manager Ron Klimmer and produce retail clerk Michael Wahr received notice of their firings in letters from the company mailed to their homes, said United Food and Commercial Workers Local 951 business representative Scott Gould.
They were punished for watching the June 19 funeral procession of Army Sgt. Matthew Soper. The Jackson resident died June 6 in Bayji, Iraq, of wounds from an improvised explosive device.]
Well, they should have punched out. But firing them is a bit excessive.
I suspect public pressure will force the company's hand on this one.
