Oh yes they can. If company policy says "you can't bring in a knife"
and you bring in a knife, they can fire your ass even if the company
is a knife manufacturer.

It's called *letter of the law* which is what I thought was one of the
things conservatives stood for...

*That's just

They're also good at protecting against dismissal with good cause. You
can be a total jack-off, a total screw-up, but if you're a card-
carrying union member you're set for life.
