    At the very least, such firings raise serious questions about the employer/employee power dynamic.https://twitter.com/j_k_smothers/status/897875072836358144 …

    I agree with you. It's problematic, at best, to allow employers to fire employees for personal, off-the-clock behavior.

        That you would express concern with firings of white supremacists & Nazis on the day Heather Heyer is buried is disgusting & inhumane.

        Our family business opened in '71. If we discovered a Nazi or white supremacist working for us in those years, they would have been fired.

        Are there any off-duty activities an employee would engage in where it would be appropriate for a private business to fire them for?

        So if pro-DJT employer sees employee at counter-protest demonstration on social media, boss can say he/she is alt-left & fire him/her now?

        This side of the pond , if you act in a way that brings your company into disrepute then you can be fired. I expect you have similar rules.
