49 states are at-will employment states. Legally they can be fired for any reason that isn’t a protected class violation.

Typically this is not something that people in the ostensibly pro-worker party celebrate.

One, I’m describing reality not taking a stance.

Don't try to be cute. Your post is a tacit endorsement and it's highly disingenuous to pretend otherwise.

Two, “pro-worker” sometimes means making sure an employee isn’t making his co-workers uncomfortable.

This is frightening stuff. You want to give employers the right to fire people for attending a political rally. That's a very, very dangerous cession of power that will be very easily abused (and is abusive if applied to legal association with protest).

I posted somewhere somewhat-glibly about how American liberals aren't able to genuine moral outrage unless racism is involved. I didn't expect to see it laid out so plainly and explicitly this quickly.
