      Again, they clearly engaged in repugnant speech, but this raises complicated questions about the employer/employee power dynamic.

      People are suggesting that this wasn't a "political rally." Yes it was. Plenty of political rallies are held to advance repugnant causes.

      Such terminations are permitted under the "at will" doctrine but... organized labor hates that doctrine, for giving employers the upper hand

      Point being: these terminations would've been harder to impose had stronger employment protections been in place. That's the tension.

          If a company isn't justified terminating employees once they learned they pose an active threat to minority staff, what *would* justify it?

          If you want to unionize Nazis have at it. That might be the only union I would not endorse. At will employment is a funny thing, ain't it.

          I think it is more likely they would try to get nazism / fascism reclassified as a religion so it would be a protected class 🙄

          Maybe they should have spent their time agitating for a union instead of white supremacy. Political choices have consequences.

          and when we get those stronger employment protections in place, we should make sure there's an exception in them for Nazis.

          I think ultimate test is how an employee's off-hours advocacy impacts co-workers, customers, and company image/mission. Nazis need not apply

          they have a right to pay in lieu of notice? the only other employment protection that would protect here is unionization.

          Not true. Employers have a code of conduct which includes diversity and inclusion - treating others with respect and dignity, etc. Even /1

          with stronger employment protections such as here in Europe, breaking code of conduct is a firing offence.
