John Antoon owns Covers Unlimited I thought, not that Asian woman? Did he sell this business? How does she tie in to Covers Unlimited?

She works there apparently. They may be squeezing the owner to can her. I don’t approve of harming a business for that reason.

John Antoon is a good dude. Sucks to see him on the hook for what she is doing.

Well, if he fires her for political beliefs now, won't that open him up to a lawsuit?

He might be in a pickle.

There's a lot of hatred between North Vietnamese folks and South Vietnamese. I never knew how much until I was in a store with my friend from South Vietnam and he heard others talking with a North Viet accent.

They don’t forget, and quite frankly, I can’t blame them for holding a generational grudge.

Looks like they seek out Vietnamese skilled seamstresses.

TO AVOID DISRUPTIVE EFFECTS ON WORK, THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF COVERS UNLIMITED INC. HAS INFORMED THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF LINH TRAN: LINH TRAN IS "ON VACATION" AT HOME!!!

Linh Tran Louisiana was officially fired yesterday, September 16th. I want to emphasize that she was fired. The reason given was that he was worried about the trouble caused by the numerous phone calls complaining about her, and he was also concerned about the October 2nd protest, so he got rid of her to save himself the trouble. Previously, she had boasted about how her boss favored and valued her, and valued the Vietnamese flag... Can the "red flag" save Linh Tran, or are they just using her as a pawn?

This is true, but when they first came over in the 1970s, they faced the same anti-immigrant bs that newer immigrants face today.

Not in LA but even states that don't have at-will employment could fire her for cause I would assume.
