No sympathy for them, but guys getting fired from pizza chains and supermarkets jobs for attending a political rally is a little unnervingpic.twitter.com/YcFMWa2J0R

If an employer shouldn't be allowed to fire someone over white supremacy and Nazism, what should he be allowed to fire someone for?
You're advocating a feudal Lord/Serf relationship. It looks like the right thing to do, because it hurts people we don't like, but it isn't.
Freedom of speech does not mean you are immune from consequences.
You're questioning the bedrock of market-based, capitalist employer-labor relations. Are you uncomfortable about the power asymmetry?
One would almost think he would be interested in, oh, worker rights. Like unions.
Nazism isn't just "political speech." It is openly inciting VIOLENCE. It is a belief system based on ETHNIC CLEANSING. Stop defending it.
Yes, if that speech results in a real or potential impact to the employer's business (e.g., a targeted boycott), which is very likely here.
In other words, next time wear a hood!
I read and signed Code of Conduct every year, said I could be disciplined or dismissed if I did things which looked bad for company.
if that political speech has the potential to cause a hostile or harmful work environment for employees or customers, yes.
if that political speech has the potential to harm the brand. Yes.
They already can do that. I know many a socialist and anarchist who were fired for dubious reasons, but suspected their politics.
Let me gather my fucks for rubes getting fired for belonging to a terrorist group
If you find one, let me know. I can't find any around here.
"At-will". With or without cause. Surely you know what that means.
Tolerating differences of political opinion doesn't mean tolerating Nazis. I love animals but I don't let hornets nest in my garden.
employers have the right to protect their business from Nazi's. It's not a discussion about a sporting team.
Advocating for the death or harming of Jews, Blks, Gays, etc is a more than political speach. It's a virus to be eliminated
So, to be clear, you're *against* at-will employment?
