If he had made offensive posts about Trump he would be given a raise.
For example, suppose I work at a Ford dealership. The 1A won’t protect me if I tell a customer that Toyota makes better cars. If management finds that out...I’m gone.
Surprisingly, you’re wrong.
The Dept of Labor regulations provide that employees may discuss work matters on social media, including defamation of the employer, without consequence.
Comes under the heading of worker’s rights to organize and communicate.
Worked for a company 6 years ago that lost a wrongful termination suit due to this rule.
Right to work State or no?
I'm a tad confused by the last sentence.
Who is Pedro Cala? Some kind of big shot?
Yep. somebody’s got a serious alcohol problem.

Very interesting. Thanks for posting that.
Let me ask a follow-up question. Does that Labor regulation also apply to at-will employees? I’ve always thought that an at-will employee could be fired for any reason, or for no reason at all.
And I thought the only exception was that you cannot fire an at-will employee for a “protected class’ reason. For example, you cannot fire him just because of his race.
Tasteless, crass, stupid ~ but he is entitled to his opinions...
If I understand this correctly, he used his real name to blow off some blue language steam on the internet? If so, he’s an idiot. Plain and simple. This is 2018, after all.
Never ever, ever use your real name for posting anything on the internet. Even your favorite guacamole recipe or whatever. Somehow, some time, it will come back to bite you.
“I’d bet good money that you are right. Anyway, this guy is a prosecutor. He can destroy lives. So if he said what he is accused of saying, he needs to resign or be fired, pronto.”
No, he shouldn’t resign as long as Maxine Waters, Durbin and Schumer can continue their hate campaigns. When they resign, this prosecutor can resign.
Right to work State or no?
Yes, I’m in PA.
I couldn’t believe it when they won the suit. I thought as you did. Craziness.
Great question. I’m not sure. This was a right-to-work state and a salaried full-time employee.
