We got some news. The sentence has been modified to only be of the lenght of the time he alredy served. So, it's done for him.
The prosecutor also explains why they did that. Before, they were fining the corporations, as people here suggested, but corporations just paid the fines and continued to collect garbage at 5AM. So, it was a stunt to force garbage collectors to respect schedule.
Of course. Don't throw the wealthies making these decisions in jail after the fine does nothing to deter their practices. Take the poor black dude working at the bottom of the totem pole and lock him up for a few days. HIGHLY preferable and much, much less reprehensible. Can't throw our precious, wonderful rich people in jail with the untermenchen.
Well, technically, you couldn't throw the wealthies in jail anyways. You know than companies and their owners are legally separate entities and you can't jail a company.
It was a very poor decision from them, but Waste Management is claming its against their policies and than the employee is suspended because he violated such policies (they claim he decided to pick thm at this hour by his own choice). I have doubt he decided that, but, it may be right, I know people in some jobs where the important is than all job is done by the end of the day/week, they don't really care when. But, they have a duty to train and inform their employees about such laws.
