In some countries (e.g: in the EU) getting fired over a tweet would result in a lawsuit which the company would almost certainly lose and they would be forced to hire back the former employee.
The issue in the US is that the labour market is incredibly unjust towards employees and they have almost no rights.
- thu2111 6y agoHas this actually happened recently? Because the UK still has full EU law in its statute books, and it's home to a guy who was just fired for flying a airplane banner saying "White lives matter". Oh, they didn't just fire him, his girlfriend was also fired (from a different company) ... just for good measure. But if he can sue and force them to rehire him I'd be very surprised. The problem is not merely what the law says, but that the institutions that enforce employment law are just as corrupted as everywhere else.
