I don't think any company has ever tried to make such a silly claim. If they fire someone, it will usually be because that employee broke the terms of their employment contract which nobody forced them to sign in the first place.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoRight. Employee agreements that suppress free speech are kind of the subject of this thread.
- incepted 11y agoThat's the whole point: employee agreements do not suppress free speech. It's legal nonsense to claim that they do.
- JoeAltmaier 11y agoIf you define free speech as 'that part of the American value that is embodied in a Constitutional amendment' and take it no further. Be fair.
