If you being employed loses the company money you will be fired. That's true for every employee. It's just that people are more likely to boycott a company for something the CEO says.
Would you like to ban people from deciding which companies they support or ban companies from firing people that cost them money?
- skissane 5y agoI support laws protecting employees against political discrimination. I know California has such a law, and so do some Australian states (Queensland, Tasmania, Victoria). If people are boycotting a company because one of its employees belongs to a protected class – and laws against political discrimination make political belief a protected class – then it will likely be illegal for the employer to fire that employee on account of the boycott. They may legally have no choice but to endure it. It is no different in principle from people choosing to boycott a company for employing a member of any other kind of protected class.
