The issue isn't that workplace practices can be political, the issue is practicing political activism for your own pet cause in the workplace on company time and expecting literally no retribution. A lot of the pain points come from the fact that in practice it's turning out a lot of the politics in debate are only vaguely related to the specific company's actual activity.
- TheCoelacanth 7y ago> the issue is practicing political activism for your own pet cause in the workplace on company time and expecting literally no retribution When the pet cause is something that affects working conditions at the company, then that "issue" you describe is simply expecting the company to follow labor laws. Workers have the right to organize with other workers and advocate for change in their working conditions without retribution from the company.
- rumanator 7y ago> Workers have the right to organize with other workers and advocate for change in their working conditions without retribution from the company. You're misrepresenting the facts. The newspiece states that the activists were fired for tracking and doxxing colleagues that they seemed reactionaries. This sort of abuse is hardly defensible.
- JohnBooty 7y agothe issue is practicing political activism for your own pet cause in the workplace on company time I agree, but that's not remotely what was happening here.
