[Ferguson97]

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. 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).

What do you mean I want to “give them the right”? They literally already can do this.
