This is insanity. Fourteen law firm employees lost their job for wearing color coordinated shirts.
Employers asked the employees to a meeting room, asked them whether it was some sort of protest, to which all replied in the negative, and then the firm fired all employees found wearing an orange shirt.
According to the workers, some employees began wearing orange shirts to work on paydays as a way to self-identify when they hit the bars to celebrate the beginning of the weekend. The practice had been going on for months.
I tried doing the Google to see if the color had any connection with protest activities. All I could find (other than other stories on this particular incident) was a site that encouraged gays and lesbians to wear orange on St. Patrick's Day to protest being excluded from New York's St. Patrick Day's Parade. It seems like a pretty far stretch to connect that to a protest in Florida, espcially as the sacked employees wore orange on Fridays for some time prior. Perhaps orange has some other protest connection I'm unaware of, but such a connection would be pretty obscure.
Its stories like this one though, that make me glad I belong to a union.
