Pomona College Fires 17 Imigrant Workers

Have you guys heard of what Pomona College did on 12-1-11. Well they fired about 17 workers who worked in the kitchen as chefs and etc. Well they fired them because they were supposedlychecking for papers. I found out about this because of a friend of mine. Who worked as a cook in the Pomona College dining hall. This is what he said, “We were here for a very long time and there was never a complaint,” said Christian Torres, 25, a cook who had worked at the college for six years. “But now all of the sudden we were suspect, and they did not want us to work here anymore.” So as you see Pomona college just came up with this one out of no where one day. As i read in the a website thinkingprocees it says that about two years ago the workers had started a union and that the administration started looking into the workers legal papers and that they did this so the they could prevent the union from establishing.
