Employees Fired After Skipping Work For Immigration Rally A Lindale company says it fired 22 workers because they didn't follow company policy when taking off to attend an immigration protest. Benchmark Manufacturing Inc., which makes air conditioning parts, fired the workers after they attended a rally Monday in downtown Tyler. The company said in a statement that the workers didn't follow rules that require them to ask for the day off or give notice that they'd be absent. But rally organizer Jose Sanchez, who's also a Longview lawyer, says the workers may have been unaware of company policy -- either because they never got employee handbooks or couldn't read the rules in English.
