Interesting, I had no idea that this was a thing. I think it is perfectly sensible to prohibit employees from using their personal conscience to boycott with company (or government) funds, as it isn't their own money. But prohibiting them personally? That should be protected absolutely. And companies should be permitted to boycott as well, when the decision is actually a company decision and not just a rando employee.
- enkid 4y agoI could understand the US government not allowing certain companies to boycott foreign governments, as you start getting companies affecting foreign policy, which isn't a great position to be in. To me, this should be limited to limits the federal government can place on business conducted specifically for the federal government, and shouldn't extend to individuals working for that company. For example, they should be able to specify that a national security company has to be willing to purchase parts from a specific foreign country for the business it does with the federal government. I feel like anything other than that should be protected speech.
