You might recall that I posted a story about three Toronto Firefighters who were fired for some incredibly insensitive Tweets. Well, their union has jumped into action to try and get their jobs back according to The Toronto Star:
The Toronto Professional Fire Fighters’ Association told the Star that they are awaiting arbitration dates for three members. President Ed Kennedy said he couldn’t discuss the issue beyond confirming that a grievance has been filed.
Lovely, so people who represent an organization who is part of city government and who use lines like “Reject a woman and she will never let it go. One of the many defects of their kind. Also weak arms” get to try and fight for their jobs? I guess that’s they way the process is, but it doesn’t seem right somehow. After all, the city apparently has rules about the use of social media. Rules that these three violated. So I don’t see why they should be in a position to fight to get their jobs back. Maybe it’s just me.
