Story in the TU this morning about a fellow named Sean Thomas, who did time in prison for a drug offense and had been working at the Granger Lumber warehouse. He got the job through Ready4Work - an organization that helps ex cons find jobs. He worked at the warehouse for 2 years, earning a promotion in the process. The company was sold to Jacksonville ProBuild and Thomas was summarily fired. No reason was given, but the implication was that it was because of his past. This seems to me to be a really poor decision by ProBuild management. Makes me wonder - if a company treats it's employees this way, how will it treat it's stock holders and customers? Oh, BTW, Ready4Work was able to help Thomas find another job.
