Why not report it, instead of the same Zimmerman/Trayvon b.s. over and over ..........Bubba wrote:The four are under arrest and charged. Why should this be national news or news of any kind outside its local area? The Zimmerman case became news BECAUSE there was no charge.
therefore:According to U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Flannery, this is how it played out:(1) Trump extended offers of employment to all Eastern employees based upon their seniority status; (2) Beattie was an Eastern pilot possessing the requisite seniority; (3) Trump declined to hire Beattie based upon his unavailability on the specified commencement date; and (4) Beattie’s unavailability was caused by his military commitment.
and there ya have it, trump chose not to hire a pilot who wouldn't be available to fly the plane he hired him to fly on the date he needed him to fly it...what a dick...Third Veteran Dumped By Trump Because Of Military Service
Col. Charles Beattie served in Vietnam, but was denied a job with Trump Shuttle because of his military service.

And...Yet in at least three cases, Trump’s companies have either fired, or refused to hire, military reservists because of the time commitments demanded of them by their service in the armed forces. The veterans involved have sued Trump for violating the laws meant to protect them from precisely these types of penalties. And in all three cases, Trump and his companies have settled the suits.
Granted, Trump could've settled to avoid further expenses and, granted that HuffPo has a Democrat bias. Nonetheless, this case by the plaintiff clearly had merit.In response to Beattie’s legal claim, Trump’s lawyers argued that Beattie had been denied a job because he was “unavailable,” not because he was a reservist. They also claimed that Beattie’s attendance at the Army college was “voluntary,” and therefore not a real military “obligation.” The judge threw out these arguments. According to case files, Beattie’s case was settled with a consent judgment in November of 1991.
sure under the letter of the law it probably did, in reality though how can you fly the plane if you aren't able to be there on the day it needs to be flown? we're not talking covering a shift at the convenience store here.... I'm all for the law requiring returning vets to have their jobs back, but I dunno exactly how this could have been settled other than via a "settlement" ( ie cash payment) seeing as to hire him would also mean hiring another pilot to actually fly the plane, or ground the plane....also not sure this is really where we want our laws to take us nor am I sure that trump did anything that could or should be construed as illegitimate...he wasn't fired or "refused" hire unless every person who ever applied and didn't get a job can be considered as refused...as far as I can tell he was " not chosen"... if this is the worst thing trump has ever done he's a better man than most people...Bubba wrote:Let's look a little deeper:madhatter wrote:therefore:According to U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Flannery, this is how it played out:(1) Trump extended offers of employment to all Eastern employees based upon their seniority status; (2) Beattie was an Eastern pilot possessing the requisite seniority; (3) Trump declined to hire Beattie based upon his unavailability on the specified commencement date; and (4) Beattie’s unavailability was caused by his military commitment.

fired for insubordination after his return from duty, not sure I like the redistribution of former clients and the "noncompete/ no contact" language BUT someone had to service those accts while he was away....if he was being paid for any residuals from them due him I don't see a problem though, the insubordination is definitely grounds for termination in a hire at will situation...I specifically told you NOT to contact your old clients. Jeff was in the office when we had the discussion. I also emphatically stated that you were not to contact your old clients. You are so concerned about your closings that do not exist, that your employment is in jeopardy. I told you that I put your former client into a deal that has not closed and would give it to you.
It is apparent that you do not listen to instructions. You are to report to my office tomorrow before you do anything. You have been here less than three months (deducting your time off for the Air Force Reserve). I find it insulting that you would make a request to be paid for time you did not work and/or personal time you did not earn.
You are still on probation. With all of your absences and inability to adhere to specific instructions, you force me to reevaluate your position with the Trump Institute.
According to the deposition, Trump University would claim that Sommer was fired for poor performance. But she said the company was pushing her to work even more hours just before they fired her. She refused and returned home from a vacation trip to learn that she didn’t have a job anymore.
In her employment lawsuit, Sommer recalled, she accused Trump University of firing her because of her military commitments and of discriminating against because of her age (she was in her early 20s at the time).
She said she “won” her case when the company agreed to settle with her, rather than go to trial. “They found that there was probable cause enough to settle,” she said. The exact resolution of the case is covered by a “confidentiality provision,” Trump U’s lawyer noted in the deposition.
seriously, huffpo already got way more attn from me than it deserves here...Editor’s note: Donald Trump regularly incites political violence and is a serial liar, rampant xenophobe, racist, misogynist and birther who has repeatedly pledged to ban all Muslims — 1.6 billion members of an entire religion — from entering the U.S.
Trump gets sued all the time. Nobody cares.Mister Moose wrote:Gotta say Trump looks bad with what I've read on the Trump U case and the above Trump airlines reservist firing. Both are cases of a businessman shooting fast from the hip to make money, which of course is what The Donald does. The first one might be legal, might not, depends on whether fraud is proven. The second is just blatant lack of respect for the military and laws regarding their employment. Trump probably hadn't come across that particular law prior to Trump Airlines (Lots of pilots are reservists) but he should have retracted the firing immediately once notified.
where does trump actually fire anyone? it's not him, it's not his office, it's his company taking action and paying for those actions if necessary...I get the name association thing and all that but really most if not all of this is petty, meaningless and not really any kind of an indicator of who trump himself is or how he would act...Mister Moose wrote:Gotta say Trump looks bad with what I've read on the Trump U case and the above Trump airlines reservist firing.
