re: #17 Obdicut

It’s not sex discrimination, really. It’s not much of anything. It’s just another stupid reason for people to get fired or an excuse to fire people. And it’s another reason we need strong unions again.

People shouldn’t be fired or let go without cause. If the fault is on the side of the employer why the person can’t do the job— which it was, in this case, then the worker should be compensated for that.

That’s why I recommended 6 months severance. Compensation.

But UNIONS? How do you unionize a dentist’s small practice? And suppose that was in place and she did belong to a union and he couldn’t fire her? Then one of the other two options would have been the result. He quits outright, or he moves. There simply isn’t a scenario in which they continue to work together.
