After being fired for refusing to open his restaurant on Thanksgiving, a Pizza Hut manager has his job back. Tony Rohr, who worked his way up from cook to general manager at the company, was told it was mandatory to keep his Elkhart, Ind., store open on the holiday. I just decided I wasnt going to agree to it, Rohr said. All of these people the whole year had been told they were going to have the day off. Luckily for him, Pizza Hut stepped in and strongly recommended that the local franchise hire him back, saying the company respects an employees right to not work on a holiday. Pizza Hut issued this statement Thursday morning: As follow up to the situation in Elkhart, IN, we feel strongly that the situation involving our independent franchisee and the local store manager could and should have been avoided. We fully respect an employees right to not work on a holiday, which is why the vast majority of Pizza Huts in America are closed on Thanksgiving. As a result, we strongly recommended that the local franchisee reinstate the store manager and they have agreed. We look forward to them welcoming Tony back to the team. Im glad, I like Pizza Hut and was going to boycott them on principle! Way to go PH!!
