> Practically, you can just 'let a person go' and not tell them its about the bumper sticker. That's not what happened here, though. > CA is a right-to-work state, isn't it? Anyone can be laid off at any time. You're confusing "right to work" and "at will". "Right to work" means that it's illegal for a union to prohibit non-union workers. "At will" means that employers can fire people without reason. Even in an "at will" state, there are protected classes under both federal and state law. Political affiliation is not a protected class under federal law, but it is under California state law.
