then she should be left alone

There was a discussion on how employers shouldn't have to work with people they disagree on about politics. That it's is fine to fire someone who expresses a political view the employer is opposed to.
The difference in that discussion was the employees were Republican. In this case the proverbial shoe is on the other foot.

this issue with the woman on the bike is that she is a public employee and as such are afforded greater protection in the work place when expressing political prefernces out side of the work place

if not then she doesn't have a leg to stand on and since there are more Democratic leaning voters than Republican and the nation is trending slowly ever more progressive (despite the skewed cheated voting results of the past election) then this attitude will begin to hurt repub and conservatives more than Democrats and Liberals

But also have restrictions.

I see the greater issue being the policies are not being equally enforced.

I remember that thread.

NANA Corporation, I think is a native Alaskan group. Many native Alaskan companies do work for the government

Maybe I should stop by with a bouquet. Of cactus.

was allowed to keep his job after removing the post. Nice double-standard, not that I'm surprised.

As far as I can tell, this was a lawful firing. It's vital that employees fully understand the terms of their employment. People always seem so surprised in these situations.

So you seem nice.

I’ll ask too.

You think this company gives a crap if they get a bunch of emails?

"As far as I can tell, this was a lawful firing..."

It's great fun to pretend that simply because a thing is legal is by extension, righteous and pure as well. No doubt, realizing that is not in fact, the case, can be a surprise as well...

Some of us are more realistic than others, I’m afraid.

to keep his job after posting about "fucking libtards&quot , so I'd definitely like to see them get way worse press not only for firing her, but for their fucking double-standard.

They can have a policy, not have a policy, enforce a policy they have in an even handed matter - or not.

At the end of the day, if they say adios to you, and not 10 other people who did exactly the same thing, you've got no leg to stand on.

The exception is if they made their policy or their enforcement decisions based on membership in a protected class...

It really sucks. The only thing this makes a difference to is unemployment. It's not a valid justification for firing, so they can't deny her unemployment claim as she did nothing actually wrong.

Maybe she should set up one of those sites where we can send a few bucks as thanks.

Yeah I think the lady got the shaft for being fired. But a workplace does have the right to terminate an employee for reasons like this. If I have an employee at our media company, who represents us whether they are at work or not, who does something to highly upset out audience or advertisers I'd have to look hard at punishing or removing the individual.

My wife is a public school teacher. Same thing. If she strips for a living on a weekend and it "gets out" she could be terminated. (I'm pretty confident she doesn't do that LOL.) Just examples.

I hope she quickly gets another job though.

The company claimed that Briskman needed to be fired because her actions violated their policy prohibiting "discriminatory, obscene malicious or threatening content." Yet Briskman claims that a senior director did not lose his job despite referring to an employee as "a f**king Libtard a**hole" for supporting Black Lives Matter.

and frankly they need to be consistent. I think they have opened themselves up for a lawsuit.

Pretty good

Work State, there are laws protecting discrimination and free speech off the job.

Oddly, had she not gone to HR, noone would have known.
Retaliation.

not "right to work."

Rights Under the US Constitution.

At least I think I practiced Civil Rights law for 30 years, in 2 Right to Work, at will, states.

But the right to not get fired at will is not one of them, with some carefully defined exceptions, of which this is not one.

In most states, including Virginia, at-will employment is the rule. Only if an employee has a contract that limits an employer's right to terminate - and that rarely is the case -- can one do anything about an employment action that doesn't violate laws against discrimination.

Locals had expressed irritation with the influx of traffic and attention to the neighborhood created by Donald Trump’s frequent visits; sources say the Oct. 28 stay marked the president’s 96th golfing excursion since he was sworn into office.

96 times playing golf in a year!

Just saying...

Try to keep up, that asinine, ridiculous remark has nothing to do with the important issue that's generating all the public outrage.
