Pizza Workers Strike Because They Can't Watch Porn at Work

[Johann Krauss]

Workers at a pizza-making plant in the Republic of Ireland are set to step up a strike after being sacked for allegedly viewing porn. Staff at Green Isle Foods in Co Kildare have won cross-union support for their protest.
The Irish Congress of Trade Unions has granted their union, the Technical, Engineering and Electrical Union (TEEU), permission for an all-out picket at the factory in Naas.
The plant may face serious disruption today if other union members, including suppliers and An Post workers, refuse to pass the picket.
The company said three workers lost their jobs after viewing "adult material" and breaching the company's internet policy. But their union claims they are being scapegoated.
"One of our members received an email from outside the plant and was essentially dismissed for receiving an email," said TEEU general secretary designate, Eamon Devoy.
Over 40 workers went on strike last month after the workers lost their jobs.
The TEEU said the sackings were linked to a separate incident when the company sent a confidential file about seven redundancies to a worker by mistake.
It said workers who viewed the file were asked to sign a confidentiality agreement and faced suspension.
The union said it took action because the company would not negotiate a fair disciplinary process.

this is just so stupid. and i agree with katie. we have no idea where their hands have been...

 

[Metamorpho1977]

That's as good a reason as any for a pizza restaurant to go on strike.

Talk about too much sausage

I always wondered what "white sauce" meant

As long as they wash their hands pretty good, I honestly don't care. Just me though.

It certainly is when it involves pizza and porn , but i don't think the two go together.

How am I ever going to pay for this pizza?:naughtylook:

 

[Spider-Vader]

Yeah, I totally want to eat pizza that you made with your sticky hands.

 

[RKO]

It gives it that extra tasty flavor, you know?

No wonder where the phrase, "beating the dough" comes from.

 

[chaseter]

It is kneading the dough...I lol'd though.

It's a taste that you won't soon forget.

Seriously, I don't think your body or mind would let you.

Yep, all the obvious bad jokes have been made. I'm not needed here.

I'm never eating again...

What a ridiculous lawsuit.

Ya know, I can think of several thousand unemployed U.S. citizens who would love to have a job working at a Pizza joint--or anywhere for that matter--and they wouldn't be bothered by the ethical fact that watching porn at work is prohibited.

Ungrateful fools.

You might say that it's the taste that sticks to your throat!

Okay, I'll stop now.

Well, apparently these people were kneading something else that begins with a "D".

Although it is as soft as dough I suppose...at least at first.
