The clip shows her fighting back the tears as she claimed: “If you have an abortion, you don’t get the rest you are entitled to by law.
“They prefer that you work, they prefer that you faint on top of other people.
“If your dad dies, what do you get?
“Immediate dismissal, because that’s what happened to me.”
She alleged: “It is an inhumane place where they have no empathy, they have no humanity.”

She also stated that she has filed a complaint with the labour authority in Sonora State.

She said Ginger had accumulated nine separate absences in a one-month period without providing justification for taking the time off.
Following the company’s employment policy, she decided to dismiss the nail technician with compensation for six months of service.
The authorities are looking into Ginger’s claim of unfair dismissal.
One local commented: “The law doesn’t take into account the need to ask for permission as sadly she should have checked first.”
Ramon wrote: “It isn’t mandatory for them to give a day off if a family member dies. If she decided not to go to work and was fired for it, she should take responsibility for her decision.”
Carlos said: “What kind of company does that? It’s totally unacceptable.”
