FIRED for voting means that you lost a job you planned on continuing. You lost what, half a days work?
It still sucks, but this wasn't your full time job.

Yes, I had been hired specifically to work as a trainer in the weeks leading up to Election Day. Plus, it was not the first time I had worked for the Registrar of Voters
Though, I'm not sure how that makes a difference. I mean, if a man had groped me, would you turn around and say, "I'm sorry you were sexually harassed, but you were a temporary employee and your job ended yesterday"?
My boss attempted to coerce me into voting on Monday and was pissed off when I did not want to go along with her plan. So, when I went to take a break to vote, as is my right, she fired me. Yes, fired. "Fired" is perfectly applicable to temporary employment.
Hrm....I guess I just have a hard time seeing it from your, valkyrie, and Tippiechick's perspective.
