You can't be fired by your union.

That's management's call.

You don't work for the union. This, is fact, is something for which he should file a grievance.

Not buying it, video or no.

Anyway, you don't get "thrown out of a union." Especially since your dues presumably come out of your check.

Yes, we do. In fact when my youngest got a job at Meier, they made her join a union. Not sure why the union was needed for a min wage stock job, but they had no problems taking out part of her pay for dues.

Juan Williams couldn't be fired by CAIR.

That was NPR's call.

Juan Williams didn't work for CAIR. That is fact.

NPR didn't fire Juan Williams until after CAIR demanded he be fired. That is fact.

The CEO of NPR(someone Schiller) apologized to NPR staff for the manner in which she fired JW, but she said he had been clearly warned several times about other comments he made.

They talked about that on NPR today.

Said- he had a a series of mis-steps.    and they errored by not talking to him in private first.
