Facebook Tells Employees They Can Protest Trump
The Daily Caller ^ | April 18, 2017 | Eric Lieberman

Posted on 04/18/2017 7:34:42 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Facebook officials said they will not punish any employees who choose to take off work May 1 to protest President Donald Trump.

Pro-immigration groups, socialist organizations, labor unions, and hundreds of thousands of workers are planning to walk out on their jobs on International Workers Day.

“At Facebook, we’re committed to fostering an inclusive workplace where employees feel comfortable expressing their opinions and speaking up,” a representative told Bloomberg. “We support our people in recognizing International Workers’ Day and other efforts to raise awareness for safe and equitable employment conditions.”

Facebook told staff about its policy April 14, specifically clarifying that no prior notification of leave is necessary. The social media company-turned-tech-conglomerate also notified workers that it would investigate any of its contractors to decipher if they inappropriately violate workers’ rights.

Let’s see what happens if anyone asks for a day off to go to a pro-Trump rally.

May 1, the Communist Workers Day. How fitting.

I think a poor mid term showing for the left will cause a dissonance of unprecedented proportions...followed by hipster riots.

Did they ever give permission to their employees to protest Zero?

Sounds like an equal-protection violation.

If I worked for Facebook and expressed disappointment that the company would support a communist holiday, Zuckerburg would be okay with that, right?

Just pandering to potential customers...

Imagine trying to supervise or accomplish anything with these losers as your staff?

South American co-workers describe how years ago you’d be fired if you took off on May Day. They were surprised that the day isn’t celebrated in the US, as it all started here (Haymarket Square)? While Communists use it as a holiday, others simply view it as their “Labor Day” (which Americans in general don’t oppose in early September).

Communist scum.

Damn if they’ll tell you that China, Cuba, and the USSR weren’t REAL Communism but they sure as hell love every holiday and text and dictator they ever had.

Look at the corporations that all sucked up to the Communist holiday “International Women’s Day”.

Anyone who fails to show up to work at my shop on May 1 will be summarily dismissed.

Should be interesting.
