Fifteen immigrant women who left work to joining in immigration reform rallies have been fired. The meat cutters at Wolverine Packing Company in Detroit, all Mexican natives, said they were never warned that if they skipped work on the day of the rally they would be let go. The company claims they received both written and verbal warnings that if they didn't attend work in order to attend the rally they would be fired. Some of the workers were undocumented immigrants.
