Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I got fired from my job because my boss thinks that me doing everything he says makes me untrustworthy. FML
Today, I told my supervisor how awful my coworker was at her job. I then got fired. FML
Today, I got fired from work. Why? I finally took a stand for myself and confronted my coworker of writing things up in my name for herself, and it getting deducted from my check. So she went to the manager and accused me of sexual harassment. FML
Today, after a supervisor, who is a Donald Trump fanatic, kept pestering us with the subject, I decided to debate with him, never swearing or disrespecting him at all. I was fired, presumably for disrespecting a supervisor. FML
Today, I got fired. My coworker decided to imitate my voice, stand outside of my boss's office door, and say insulting things about his daughter. FML
Today, my boss fired me by locking me out of my workplace after I went out to throw out the trash. FML
Today, I got fired from my volunteer job. FML
Today, I was enjoying my first vacation day in 2 years. My boss then called me to come in, saying it was an emergency. I got to work and got fired. Yes, my boss made me come in just to fire me. FML
Today, I got fired from my job. I worked for my parents. FML
Today, while on vacation, I got fired for not working a shift I wasn't scheduled for. Even after texting my boss a copy of my vacation approval letter, she still fired me. FML

You shouldn't be able to be fired because of your political views... even if it was your coworker that said them. Talk to HR.

And this is why I'm glad I'm union, so stupid shit like this can't happen. Sorry, OP.

"The other members of your union shop would surely demonstrate the long-held and well-documented labor union policy of free and independent political discourse and so would fully support and celebrate your taking a day off to attend a Trump rally", the thought bubble above my head does not read.

Openly support someone who is anti union and see how much they protect your political opinion

That is a mean reason. Maybe ask a lawyer what they think.

It doesn't really matter where the coworker said OP went on their day off. The point is that the boss thinks OP lied about being out sick. If OP has a doctors note, a recent prescription for a short term illness or any other proof they were actually sick- they can easily get this turned around. But without proof, it's OP's word against the coworker's. I was in OP's situation once (except that my dickbag of a coworker claimed they saw me at the movies, not a rally). The only thing that saved my job was the fact that I still had a copay receipt from my doctor's office, dated the same day I was allegedly out goofing off at the theater.

They never said it was a sick day.

hello wrongful termination lawsuit

That's really illegal, regardless of whether or not you actually went to the Trump rally. You can't be fired for political affiliations, real or perceived. Contact an employment lawyer ASAP.

Unless they took the day off because they were sick or had an emergency, and their boss thinks they lied.

Doesn't matter unless they work in an at will state like California you cannot be fired for taking a day off, especially one that was approved, this has wrongful termination lawsuit all over it.

well, did you?

Well, I can see all the wrongful terminations stuff in the comments. But OP could have been fired because the boss thought OP was lying about being sick when OP was really at the trump rally (according to coworker). And was actually sick, either way. Get proof

I smell a lawsuit, definitely wrongful termination, your political views shouldn't matter in your work place.
