Not if it's a private employer. That said, I think the idea is....unwise.

Does an employer have to give cause? Couldn't you just say, "I'm letting you go"?

Does an employer have to give cause? Couldn't you just say, "I'm letting you go"?

That's what we did earlier this week. "Sorry to lose you, but anticipated business conditions dictate that we must reduce staffing at this time. Thank you for your service, and best of luck to you in your future endeavors."

Then, as the cashiered Obama supporter departed, closing the office door behind him, I muttered to myself, out of earshot, "And perhaps you should always remember that elections do indeed have consequences."

I will admit that he took it pretty well, all things considered.
