Because in a private company, without all the ridiculous "work rules"

Bear in mind that firing someone can be very difficult even in
private companies without any unions to deal with.

If the person is in a protected class (handicapped, minority), yes.


Keep in mind, too, that just 42 Federal employees (outside the military)
were fired in 2002 (last year I saw stats) and of those, quite a few were
for issues outside of work (i.e., being in jail for other offenses and
unable to come to work for a few months/years).

In 2004, the state of Colorado fired ONE person, though this year at least
they fired Ward Churchill.
