Safeway Reinstates Suspended Employee

[DiverDave]

1. I havnt heard of this before, link to original story:

Ryan Young, who works in the meat department of a Safeway grocery store in Del Rey Oaks, California, was on the job when he witnessed a man beating a pregnant woman, apparently his girlfriend. Young told the man to stop, but he continued with his assault, shoving and kicking the her. Young pushed him away, and ended the attack.

I understand the liability issue, but Mr. Young had SECONDS to do something before someone ( a fetus, perhaps?)
got badly hurt.
The union did what unions are supposed to do.
They went to bat for him and got everything back for him

One wonders what safeway would have done without the union and public outrage
