Employer fires workers for supporting BHO

[Shift]

This will end badly. Intolerance breeds intolerance. I predict something like what happened with Chic-Fila (gays staged a "kiss in" in some restaurants).

Omg, that's disgusting...

Urban Dictionary defines 'Obongo' as a play on the president's last name, citing his roots as a ".....typical Apefrican, bongo beating, bush monkey."

Whatever that means. Then again, I still haven't figured out the pejorative of "cracker" either.

I know! I know!!

That comes from Colonial Florida Ranchers.

This is precisely why I flat out REFUSE to talk about politics (or any personal belief for that matter) at work, even if it is with a friend or someone I trust, because you never know who could be listening and what could come of it.

So, can I be fired for my stand in favor of 2A rights here in Indiana?

yes, I have heard of more people being let go because of pro gun stance than pro Obama stance..

Well, when/if the day ever comes when anti-gun business owners decide to fire their pro-gun workers, nothing should be said.

You actually think there will be silence if that comes to pass?

I didn't say there would be silence. I'm just saying that gun owners and 2A rights supporters should support the decision if it comes to pass, if they are willing to accept what the employer chose to do in this instance.

Sure, an employer should be able to do as he/she desires, but it would be good to be smart about it. Irony is one thing, but retaliation is another.

I fully agree with you. But having those who support the parking lot bill and some even want to force businesses to allow customers to carry on their property, I doubt they will be supportive should an employer fire someone over 2A support.

I used to be a partisan hack until I saw what I was saying and doing was no different than what the left does. I support a business's right to discriminate against gays, minorities, gun owners, young, old, etc. I wish there were no laws preventing them from doing so. I'd prefer that business owners would be more open with their bigotry so that we as consumers could vote with our dollars and feet. I would never support a business if I knew they were racists, etc. If business owners saw what their bigoted views were costing them, maybe they'd learn how stupid their beliefs are.

I was curious, so I looked up the business in the OP. This is posted on his facebook page (apparently created today):

Thank you for your interest in Terry Lee Forensics.

If you have reached this site due to the erroneous newspaper article originating in the Salt Lake Tribune, here are some interesting facts regarding the article:

1. I am the sole-proprietor of this business and I have no employees.

2. For a number of years I have been performing digital forensics as a sole operator Private Investigator in the state of Utah.

3. I have decided to expand operations outside the state of Utah by starting this company.

4. I have no employees.

5. I would never fire anyone based on how they vote. Voting in this country is a right we should all be proud to exercise.

6. I do not use any accounting services, yet.

I realize we all tend to believe the printed word, however, sometimes things are not as they appear.

Thanks for that update, jayhawk. I'm glad the media lied and the story wasn't true. Wait!

Should someone be allowed to quit a job if they don't like their employer's politics?

you can quit your job for whatever you like.

i'll be damned tho if i pay for your unemployment because someone makes poor decisions in life and hates their job.

That there sir is funny

You don't get unemployment when you quite, except in some very limited circumstances.

Quitting a job is firing an employer.

So I gather there must be a few job openings there.

That the worst part is Indiana is a at will state meaning they can fire you for no reason

MH - What's so bad about that? You can fire your employer for any reason, and he can fire you for any reason. Customers can "vote with their feet" as well. I have no problem with an employer having the right to do this. If someone doesn't want to employ me - even based on something stupid like race or religion or anything - then I don't want to work for them. Period. Que's question above made sense.

Well sir, you need to just stop making sense
