Employer fires workers for supporting BHO

[Mad Macs]

It's not so much extreme intolerance as it is poetic justice.

Errrrr, yeah. Does THAT make the world any better? Pettiness isn't going to improve our global situation. BOTH sides do it, I'm not defending anybody in particular.

Business owners have the right to fire an employee for any reason. But they don't have the right to prevent employees from keeping guns in their vehicles.

It's every bit of the business owners right. Just a shame he has to reinforce the stereotype. Hopefully he won't complain when he's boycotted for his actions.

Yea, every minority (or for that matter, Democrat) in Utah can boycott their business-probably with NO change in profit margin?? Bill.

There are a multitude of reasons to vote for or against somebody. NOBODY who was running supported my personal position 100%. Holding that against somebody to the point of firing them is pretty "over the top".

You ever heard of voting with your wallet? What do you think this is?

I vote with my wallet. But getting fired is a bit extreme, no?

No. Give me one good reason it's okay to refuse to give your money to a business that doesn't support your cause while simultaneously arguing that it's poor form for an employer to refuse to give his money to someone that doesn't support his.

So you're teling me that a great employee who voted against your candidate deserves to be fired?

If 2 peoples head were on the chopping block of a business you owned and all things being equal, one of them detested the right to protect yourself, who you gonna let go?

I'm telling you that I think an employer should be free to make the decision according to HIS--and only his--standards.

Now, you gonna give me that reason or not?

If that employees vote cost the business money, then maybe he isn't such a great employee.

Obongo is a racial epithet for Obama?

Hey, just so you know, I would fire you because you are a married woman

I was recently 'outed' at an event at my job. The first thing I thought about was possibly losing my job because people now know I own firearms and support gun rights. I guess my employer has the right to fire me because my beliefs differs from theirs, but I certainly don't like it. Maybe I shouldn't have gone to that 2A rally the other day.

Maybe not, especially if there was a chance of being filmed or photographed

Well, don't you think that's just a little over the top?

It would be a good strategy for employers opposed to gun rights to fire any of their employees who support the 2A.

With FB out there, I am sure that is only one of the reasons some employers get rid of some employees when the time for cuts comes up

Maybe, but did I ever claim to be fair

I'm just curious as to where you feel the line is in this whole thing. I'm truly wondering the mindset regarding this.

Do you go and ask your employees who they voted for and then fire them if you disagree with their choices?

 

[Mad Macs]

No, if people can be fired for any reason whatsoever in a truely "free" society then you have to just suck it up and leave.
