A number of years ago an airline based in Arizona took a similar approach (during the holiday season) and was then surprised when the employees voted in a union :) That said, they do deserve some credit for a fairly robust severance package.

The proper way to fire someone is face to face with the direct supervisor (or if that person wasn't involved in the decision, one level up) being the bearer of bad news.
