"An employee can not be fired for views expressed outside of their workplace."
Pretty simple, isn't it? Allow employees to sue the company if they're fired under such pretexts.
Too many companies want to control your life outside of work as it is, that really should be dialed back. Especially when it limits your constitutional right to speech and expression.
So every opinion becomes a protected class? I think that causes way more problems than it fixes.
Say a plumber spends his evenings on a street corner with a "Pedophiles for lowering the age of consent to 8" sign. His employer has to keep him on staff? If there were a plumbing company employing that guy, I would never call them. Their business could be measurably damaged by keeping him in the company uniform.
Or are boycotts going to be illegal too?
