If ACME tool company has an employee who makes highly inflammatory public comments outside of the workplace. While the comments are protected under free speech they may materially affect the company and the revenues of it's core business. Does ACME have any recourse?
If you run off at the mouth and it costs your employer money or causes them embarrassment, they can fire you.

don't focus on the background, dem vs repub. Hill vs trump, his speech is protected, its treason exct. whether you even believe in the death penalty or not.
This guy is for PUBLIC executions!
AND he was stupid enough to say it online!
hot dam, even china stopped doing it publicly..
According to Amnesty International, in 2012 "public executions were known to have been carried out in Iran, North Korea, Saudi Arabia and Somalia."[4] Amnesty International however does not include Syria, Afghanistan, and Yemen in their list of public execution countries even though they execute in front of the public regularly.

It don't think he said anything too crazy but he really ought to string his words together more carefully. "We're not going to Vegas" isn't actually that crazy either.

I am on a plane every other week, @united. I will NEVER fly you again in if you don't fire this man. Beyond ridiculous.

This isn't about freedom of speech. There are a lot of things you can legally say or do that won't get you in trouble with the law but will in fact get you fired if you make your company look bad. It's irrelevant if he made those comments in uniform or not.

We all clicked through a lot of social media policy crud in CQDL's over the past 4 years. This dude put it out there that he was a UAL pilot. It's rt there on LinkedIn. I have zero doubt something in that policy is gonna get him time off. Thankfully he has our union and our dues to bail him out. Doubt he will bring that up during his appearance guaranteed appearance on Hannity.

It's not about free speech, it's about the free market. Speachify as much as you want. If you want to keep your voluntary, private-sector job, you may choose to restrict your speech. If not, don't.

Are companies going to begin to fire employees who also happen to serve as town council members, county commissioners, and state legislators, just because they vote or talk a certain way?
