A woke Universal Music Group worker claims he was fired for “speaking up” about abortion rights — after he admitted he refused to work because he was in “mourning” over the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Michael Lopez, a production coordinator at Universal Music Enterprises, blasted the company as “anti-gay” for terminating a “queer brown person” during Pride Month for “speaking up in defense of abortion rights,” according to a lengthy note on LinkedIn that went viral last week.
“Last Friday, like countless other folks, I was devastated by the news of the supreme court’s [sic] attack on abortion rights,” Lopez wrote.
“Paired with the flood of anti-queer and anti-trans legislation, it’s been hard to process how company’s [sic] expect us to be productive while our rights are being stripped away.”
Lopez then went on to explain that each Friday “one of my tasks was to process reports for upcoming releases” and then to email his work to 275 people.
But instead of doing the usual process reports, he wrote an email that read: “I didn’t do them today.”
“I’m in mourning due to the attack on people with uteruses in the US. Federally guaranteed access to abortion is gone,” the email continued.
“Vivendi and Universal Music Group must stop donating to anti-abortion, anti-queer and anti-trans politicians. Politicians like Marsha Blackburn, Ken Buck, Victoria Spartz, etc. Or expect more unproductive days,” he wrote, signing off with “Yours in fury, Michael Lopez.”
A spokesperson for Universal Music Group: “As a matter of policy, we can’t discuss an individual’s personnel record. We can say that what was posted on social media is inaccurate.”
“UMG has a long record of support for women’s issues,”
“As we wrote to our US employees, UMG views reproductive health care as essential.”

He’ll sue and probably win.
But they can fire you or refuse to employ you if you happen to be a conservative Bible believing Christian. I am amused and appalled at the hypocrisy of the lefties.
Hint: Do your job, a**hole!
So if you are gay and a minority you don’t have to do any work during June. If you are lucky enough to be black and gay you can get February also. Plus health insurance and sick time.
All because “their” abortion opportunities became slightly more limited for “them”. After the suit, PCH Sweepstakes will look like pocket change. 🙅
He's working for the wrong company. He should be a sewer worker, being that he is into that sh*t.
“...the attack on people with uteruses in the US”
He threw away a good job. That was his decision.
Even if he sues and ‘wins’ some kind of settlement to get lost, he has lost in other ways. After this level of publicity, fewer established companies would hire him, unless at a much lower wage. He’s shown himself to be insular, capricious and unbusinesslike.
“...blasted the company as anti-gay for terminating a queer brown person...”
Since when is a company not allowed to fire a queer? Are homosexuals allowed to do whatever they want to (like government employees)?
Is that uteri?
Idiot deserves a good swift kick in the c***
Our pioneer patriot families weep for you, but not really. Go suck another toad you fantasy land living fool.
“Is that uteri?”
Grammar is White Supremacy.

Oh my.
A whole box of Kleenex or two.
Hopefully some ice cream 🍨🍨🍧🍨 made him feel better.
what an ass. This ( RVW) has nothing to do with a queer brown guy.
They were not so much fired as they had abandoned their job!
Lol
Mental health will win the day
