- pyuser583 3y agoThis isn’t really true. Americans have more rights than they think. It varies a lot, and can be confusing. There’s an ongoing case about how venues like Madison Square Garden are using facial recognition to deny entry to employees of law firms suing them. There are laws in place to protect theater critics. Those laws stem from an idea that it’s unlawful to prevent someone from earning a living/practicing their profession. Many of those older laws are on the books. There are strict anti blacklisting laws in many states.
- qbasic_forever 3y agoNothing you mentioned has any relevance to an employer firing an employee and rehiring them as a contractor, which is perfectly legal in the US. This actually happened a lot after the ACA/Obamacare law went in effect a decade ago. Many employers were faced with the mandate to provide insurance for full-time employees and decided to fire/downsize those roles and hire independent contractors in their place (which did not need to have healthcare provided by the employer).
