Gotcha.
I think that your workplace can't fire you for stupid reasons, like if you say to vote for another candidate that your boss wants or for refusing to participate in a tiktok video, so I assumed that there was some "free spech" protecting you for that.
If your political beliefs are tied to race, religion, or gender, they'd be covered by Title VII of the CRA. If your political motivations are driven by a desire for better employment law, they may be protected by the NLRA. Beyond that, laws protecting political speech and beliefs of employees would be potentially state antidiscrimination laws, off-duty conduct laws, and coercion laws, but of course that varies state-by-state.
Well, thats were the weeds start, your boss isn't really allowed to fire you for who you vote for, as they are not entitled to know that info (they would need to violate your rights to find out against your will).
But if you go around spewing hate speech, inciting violence they can definitely shit can you.
I meant if you said it publicly. I think they can't fire you for that.
Yeah, that's what I was saying.
