Small Business Owner Concerned (Atlanta)

excerpt:

Dear Fellow Business Owners,

As the owner of a business who employs 30 people, I have resigned myself
to 
the fact that Barack Obama will be our next President, and that my taxes
and 
government fees will go up in a BIG way.

To compensate for these increases, I figure that the Customer will have to

see an increase in my prices to them of about 8%. I will also have to lay 
off at least 6 of my employees. This really bothered me for a while, as I 
believe we are family here and didn't know how to choose who will have to 
go.

So, this is what I did. I strolled thru the parking lot and found 8 Obama 
bumper stickers on my employees cars. I have decided these folks will be
the 
first to be laid off. I can't think of a more fair way to approach this 
problem as they are voting for a candidate that is directly going to cost 
them their jobs.

If you have a better idea, let me know. I am sending this letter to all 
Business owners that I know.

Location: Atlanta

Good grief. He may think this is amusing or clever, but advertising it on 
Craig's List is an invitation to the NLRA to open an investigation. Plus,
if 
the owner is White and some or all of the employees he canned are Black,
he 
could really be in for a legal shock.

Know the law, people, and properly do***ent legal reasons for terminating 
employees. Firing someone for sup****ting Obama will only get the owner
into 
hot water.
