    That’s a convenient way to make troublemakers go away. Even it some of these terminations technically have a valid justification, it gives the appearance the company is looking for an excuse to fire critics.

    Protesters probably need to be more savvy and respectful, but also need better protection against retribution.

      I am pretty sure they could sue for wrongful termination if they conducted their protest properly and respectfully. You can’t fire someone for exercising a right.

        You really can. Right to work, + free speech is only applicable wrt the government.

        The fact that it’s legal does not make it moral.
