You forget the legal ramifications of firing someone. If they are a protected class - POC, women, disabled, etc. - it can mean a large headache in the form of a lawsuit, or a complaint to a labor board. Many companies have run into this when attempting to separate someone who advocated for unionization.

Just to quickly clarify on this, firing someone for advocating for a union is illegal regardless of their protected status, employee organization is itself a protected activity. If a business ever does get into hot water over something this, I would very much advise against saying to a judge, "no, our decision to fire had nothing to do with discrimination, we were merely retaliating against an employee for organizing."
