[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Even if it's a “Right to work state,” you still have to make a case, or they will sue for a “wrongful discharge.”

Don't say that it was because of political differences. If they were performing non-work related tasks while on-the-clock, write them up. Track their internet usage. They'll use it for non-work-related uses. Write them up. Create a paper trail and then fire them.

You don't want to get sued, make them famous, and put cash in their pockets. If you want to fire them, fine. But be smart about it.

And I agree. Eff them. No more Mr. Nice Guy. It's gotten us nowhere.

Just sack them for whatever..don’t mention the election.
At the same time,,we need to only employ supplier’s and subs who don’t employ illegals and are conservative.
It may cost a little more..but it will be worth it.

The EEOC ruled after the 2004 election that an employer can fire someone because of their politics. The case was from NY where an ice cream shop owner fired a Bush supporter simply because he was a Republican. The EEOC said that anti-discrimination laws only pertained to race and gender.
