Los Angeles (AP) -- The National Labor Relations Board wants a federal judge to order immediate reinstatement of eight newsroom employees fired by the Santa Barbara News-Press.

The judge condemned the News-Press for flagrant misconduct

I assume many FReepers will cheer this judge’s decision, since they so on fire for government intervention to “save American jobs.”

Which is obviously was not. The law was clearly subverted by an activist judge.

How can a company be barred from firing an employee who - illegally - hung a huge banner from an overpass telling the public not to buy his employer's product?

If you cannot fire such an employee, who can you fire?
