The Chevys Fresh Mex in Tracy terminated many of his employees because of their absence from work on Monday, May 1, after the kitchen’s Latino crew had handed a signed formally request to their employer indicating their desire to support the May 1st march.

Other workers were also forced to comply in labor on May 1st, regardless of their desire to state their view with their community in the May 1st march. Many employees, as a sign of solidarity towards their coworkers, stepped out of work when their opinion about the unjust termination measure was completely ignored.The manager who carried out the mass firing is Luis, the kitchen manager. Luis was following the orders of his bosses: Greg, general manager of Chevys at Tracy, and Gary, manager of the franchise which owns the restaurant. Gary is believed to have e-mailed the order that any workers marching on May 1st be terminated.
