It's a pretty big deal when that company is your employer. We need better protections around speech in this country. Firing someone for something they said cannot be a one-sided decision. At the minimum, the worker deserves the chance to go to court/arbitration
- shadowgovt 6y agoThis is one of the categories of protections unions historically offered. Probably also worth noting that one does have the right to go to court if one believes one was wrongfully terminated. When Google fired James Damore, he sued. But the National Labor Relations Board ruled the firing was justified because he had made not-legally-protected statements that risked creating a hostile work environment. https://apps.nlrb.gov/link/document.aspx/09031d45826e6391 https://apps.nlrb.gov/link/document.aspx/09031d45826e6391
