You don't think employers should be able to fire people who cost them money?
- ad404b8a372f2b9 4y agoDefinitely not in these circumstances but the cost is irrelevant to this discussion. Should employers be able to fire cancer patients who go on sick leave for months or years? Should employers be able to fire a green man if their clients hate green people? What matters is where you set the bar for someone losing their means of survival, in what circumstances would you like your neighbour to go homeless: Because he has cancer, because he is green, or because he said something controversial in public. I don't want any of these, and I believe a healthy society should have strong enough labour laws to put the employee before the employer in these circumstances.
