People who don't show up to work will be fired?

First of all, do they really think that it will make any difference at all? It won't. In order to actually make a noticible dent in the economy, they would have to hold out a heck of a lot longer than 24 hours...and I just really don't see that happening. Second of all, where do they get off? Nowhere else but in America could someone protest, throw a fit and expect someone to make allowances for the fact that they have, in fact, broken the law. There are legal ways to enter this country, they could have chosen one of them and then there wouldn't be this problem. However, they chose not to obey the laws of this country and, in my opinion, they need to be held accountable for their lawlessness. \n\nIf we allow all these illegal immigrants amnesty, what message does that send to all the immigrants who entered this country legally, who paid their dues and did things according to the rules? Gee, we're sorry we put you through all that because our laws are completely meaningless and we're going to give amnesty to everyone who decided they didn't want to be bothered with the pesky rules? What next, are we going to allow all mass murderers to run free because, hey, if you can break one law, why not all of them. What if all the rapists in every maximum security prison across the country stage a protest demanding their freedom? Why have any rules and laws at all if they can just be arbitrarily changed to exonorate a group of people just because they protest and demand it?\n\nI understand that the people coming here illegally are desperate and in dire circumstances, I don't doubt that at all. However, as someone who grew up in dire circumstances myself (yes, I know what it's like to go to bed hungry for weeks on end, to not have heat in the winter and to face the uncertainty of whether or not you're going to have a roof over your head), I still believe that breaking the law is unacceptable. That doesn't mean that I don't understand the motivation behind it, but it is what it is. After all, we have hundreds of thousands of legal American citizens who are homeless, who are hungry, who are in desperate situations and who are crying for an opportunity to support their families. However, should one of these people choose to rob a bank or sell drugs in an attempt to support their family, we don't see protests in the streets to exonorate them of their crimes. We may understand the motivation behind their actions, but the truth is that they've broken the law, regardless of the reasons/circumstances and in this country, there are consequences for breaking the law. If there aren't, then what's the point of even having a legal system?\n\nCome here legally and I don't have a problem with it. Come here from whatever country, make a life for yourself, send your kids to college, make yourself a millionaire, win the lottery, start a fortune 500 company. I. DON'T. CARE. That's the sort of thing that this country was built on. I, myself, have relatives who immigrated to this country legally and who have been very successful in building their lives and their fortunes. Great for them! Certainly there are those who are racist, but don't make this a racial thing, that's the easy cop-out.

They still have to be prepared to lock up the store.  Often times the overnight employee will quit, or not show up for work, then what, you just gonna leave the store open with no employee?  See my point?

I think it is because customer service oriented jobs are being performed by the couch potato generation.  They think they are doing us a favor by being there.  Labor laws protect the employee but not the employer.  It is hard to weed out the individuals that are lazy.  It's not like the days when somebody could be fired on the spot.  Now there is so much red tape to terminate somebody.  I feel your pain though.  I have a hard time having to bag my own groceries after putting in a ten hour day!  I voice my opinion by making a copy of my receipt and mailing it to the business owner or manager with my complaint.  This way; they know exactly who the individual was, what time and date the incident occurred, and what my issues were.  Most of the time I get a letter explaining that the problem is being addressed.  Sometimes, the individual puts two and two together and is much more pleasant to me the next time I pay the place of business a visit.

No, because where I live you can be fired for ANY reason or NO REASON AT ALL. Consider that I've also seen racially motivated firings where the people who lost their jobs had no rights or protection at all. Also in my state the labor board will only enforce minimum wage without a contract. I've seen people put in a two week notice at a job only to have their last paycheck dropped to minimum wage out of revenge for them leaving. These laws favor corporations, not workers rights at all. I see nothing fair about that. To change these laws in our favor I'd be willing to see a law mandating giving at least a weeks notice before quitting a job. And the employer has to accept it, not tell you just to hit the door because you put in a notice.

You'll probably get evicted.

If they have somebody to feed them, they don't sleep hungry.\nIf they have somebody to employe them, they become employee.\nIf they make any mistake and are caught, they get punishment and are deported.

After that they the employers will say that you the employees are not working for the good of their business and will fire you. Then you and your prohibitions can work elsewhere.

It depends on the reason.. \nIf you stole from the company, most likely you will not get unemployment.... \nIf you missed a lot of work.. IT depends on your reason for missing work.. they will investigate that.. \nIf you made a few mistakes.. most likely you will get unemployment, because mistakes are mistakes, everyone makes them..\nIf you sexually harassed someone.. there will be an investigation.. \nreally all depends on what you did.

Well there's a difference here.. if you're referring to someone who is ill and asks another employee to come in for their shift, then I see no issue with that.  But if you just don't show up and ask someone who's already working to pick up the slack, then someone should inform the boss.  And... that person should say NO.

You mean persecuted. Many people are set up in order to conveniently dismiss them.  It is extremely important in a work environment to adhere to the rules of the work place and don't get caught up in peer employee relations as most often it is another employee that helps get you fired.

Depends on the company policy and the laws of the state you are employed in.  But yeah, in many circumstances, he can totally fire you for being late even just once or twice, as long as he is consistant and would fire anyone else who was late as well.

Start a reward/recongition program for employees with perfect attendance. Alternatively, you could post a list showing who was absent so that everyone can see it. Or, make the employees feel bad about being absent when they return. Say, "I wish you would have been here yesterday, I really would have liked to have your input at our meeting."

It is when you are fired illegally.

Uh, most people don't tell their employer when they are looking for a new job.  They can fire you for that, "disloyalty".
