        Would that not compromise the safety of other workers? One having such extreme views is just a bomb waiting to go off

        All manner of beliefs could be said to "compromise the safety" of others. Doesn't lessen the need for workers to be given speech protections

        The right wing already labels the left as terrorists so it's not much of a stretch.
