“A Pizza Hut manager has been fired after refusing to open the restaurant on Thanksgiving Day. According to WSTB, Tony Rohr worked at the pizza chain for 10 years — starting out as a cook before working his way up to being the manager of the Elkhart, Ind., location — before being fired.

As WSTB reports, Rohr says he was told at a meeting with his bosses that opening on Thanksgiving was mandatory this year. “I said, ‘Why can’t we be the company that stands up and says we care about our employees, and they can have the day off?'” Rohr told WSTB. “Thanksgiving and Christmas are the only two days that they’re closed in the whole year, and they’re the only two days that those people are guaranteed to have off and spend it with their families.”

According to WSTB, Rohr’s bosses at Pizza Hut said he could sign a letter of resignation for his refusal to open the restaurant on Thanksgiving.”* The Young Turks hosts Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola breaks it down.
