- JumpCrisscross 6y ago> political affiliation is protected from discrimination in CA, NY, and DC Lawful political activity is protected from workplace discrimination. That’s a far stretch from making it a general protected class, and wouldn’t prevent Stripe from refusing to work with the Trump campaign.
- SV_BubbleTime 6y agoOk. Seems like the same spirit of the law to me, but you are explicitly right.
