Re: May Employers fire Employees for Defending Themselves?
Every little while these cases and new ones crop up. The short answer is, "It depends." It depends on what state. Wal-Mart is a non-union house which is good in the employment numbers area and in Texas, you can be fired for any reason that is not covered by EEOC classifications or no reason. Almost every one of these cites a violation of corporate policy and while repugnant to most of us, is legal grounds for termination. OTOH if accurate and a shoplifter produced a weapon, especially in close quarters, what are you to do BUT defend yourself?
