caught stealing on the spot is a ground on the spot termination, no ifs or buts. the terminated employees are claiming they did not steal. the employer must present proofs of their accusations these ex employees were caught stealing. its been 8 months, the question is the integrity of the evidence presented by the employers, who can do manipulations, yet its difficult to prove. these women cannot find jobs with this stealing record. both have worked long enough for the next would be employers to questions – why they did not work for 7 / 3 years. the best thing 1199 can do is legal binding this employer will forgo of their stealing accusations, unless their proofs or evidences are so authentic, that its hard to discredit, such as CCTV.
Both workers have legal status in the United States and were full members of their union, AFSCME 1199J. They were accused of theft, and now the health facility must provide evidence that the 2 employees committed theft. Your assumptions about this case make you look extremely uninformed, and as the kids say these days, “Basic.”
@FilAm , good question , i am begginning to believe Balitang America condonning everything wrong . Just look at the patterns to all they post. Sadly, most Americans and Citizens don’t even realize what is happening to this nation. As long as they are fed a constant diet of mindless entertainment. most people are perfectly content to let “the experts” do their thinking for them. We are steamrolling toward oblivion, and most of the country is dead asleep.
This is not entertainment. This story covers a labor issue faced by Pinoys living in the U.S. Hope you enjoy watching the next episode of “The Voice.”

Lot of reason that we are fighting…we told them to show the cctv… you can see what really happen…how can you steal if you still do your duties inside of facilities with others co workers ….how can you say that the 72 yrs old man with leg surgery stealing…. Did you think he can carry that?…. And if this is true why their not report to the police….inshort no clear evidence…the only things their have is hearsay of other workers…. Also take note we both immigrant do you think we gamble our life for this… The administrative dont like pinoy workers because she knows pinoy workers is smart than her kikay pango my weight is only 73kilos.
I, as the representative and admin of Anyamet Family would like to request the immediate due process of our sister and family as well to expedite the case of unlawful termination of Ms. Bernadette De Leon and also his co-employee Mr. Yolanda Simon that justice must be served. Many of us Filipino love this sister of ours. We don’t believe in their accusations with her. She is not a thief or stealer of anything. She has an outstanding character and we will support her in her journey until justice will serve. May I request Pres. Obama to have this case expedited and we love so much our sister Bernadette. Thank you so much.
These are unionized workers, meaning, they have rights and a collective bargaining agreement (b/n 1199J and Alaris Health) stating that there must be JUST CAUSE for termination. Just cause means that the Employer must prove beyond reasonable doubt that these workers actually committed stealing or have violated any company policy. The workers claim that they are innocent and they have all the right to appeal their termination. If the employer can’t prove beyond reasonable doubt the allegations, then the employer must 1) reinstate the workers to their jobs and 2) make them whole, meaning pay them all the back wages, benefits that they should have received from the time they were terminated to the present.
