Trump supporter loses her job on hit Star Wars TV show

Political affiliation is not protected. Speech is not protected.

Stop whining about some made up "cancel culture." Unless you're a socialist. And if so, just admit it.

That film company can legally fire employees for being a Q-a-nut, or Magatarded, or racist, or ignorant, etc. Many other employers can do the same.

That's capitalism at work.

Actually unless you apply your corporate standards equally to all employees then firing one employee for an infraction but not another for the same infraction will get you into legal and EEOC trouble. This is clearly backed by a large number of court & EEOC decisions. Equal treatment is required in the workplace. If you don’t want to believe me then go discuss the topic with an employment lawyer.

I see she's going for a comfortable, matronly look.

At least I take a consistent stand based on principle on this matter - I stated previously that the forced resignation of Al Franken due to the effort to cancel him was inappropriate.

You believing that it is just fine to select which people to cancel based on your political leanings is a demonstration of a lack of principle or decency. Either it is acceptable to cancel anyone (and have a mob on the internet force them out of their job) for any infraction or it is not acceptable at all.

Good luck with your fantasy, there was no ambivalence in my responses

too chunky anyway. Gotta love capitalism. I'll admit this may have been heavy handed as a reprimand w/a chance at an apology would've sufficed, but the market Libertarians champion has spoken.

brb compare a choice to being born into an ethnic/cultural group. Trumper brain right there.

He lost his job over "air boob grab", a far cry from Ducklo's inappropriate & threatening comments to a female reporter given his role as deputy press secretary.

Franken was a GOP hit job, Ducklo was dumbassery

The comparison is so idiotic it doesn't even warrant a response.

wrong, employers play favorites all the time and are legally allowed to do so unless done on prejudicial grounds. MAGGAts aren't protected

First point:
Title VII only applies when the unequal treatment was due to a protected reason.

Second point:
Equal treatment is not required unless it is stated contractually, or within handbooks/manuals.

I have experience in this area.


Arguendo, find another Lucas employee (minority and/or male), that said/tweeted exactly what the fired actress said, and wasn't fired.

I never disagreed that an employer in a “at will” state can fire an employee for any reason including social media posts. The law says an employer must apply their disciplinary reasons equally to all employees. You can’t fire employee A for an infraction but not employee B for the same infraction.

This is why larger corporations have all of the Managing within the Law classes for people managers which reinforces this point so the company avoids legal trouble in termination processes.

At this point in the U.S. everyone can make a case they are a legally protected class and they are being discriminated against when unequal employment actions are applied in the workplace.

Again:

In an at will state, if there is no labor contract, no other contract, and no handbooks/manuals dictating fairness/just-cause; then the employer can fire employee A, but not employee B for the same infraction, as long as it's not done for a protected reason (Title VII, ADA, Age)

Large corporations generally have handbooks/manuals, or labor agreements that dictate fairness, and its definition. An employer can choose to limit its rights, and provide the employees some protections.

GWB is trying to make the case that any analogy to Nazism is equivalent and as such, anyone making a Nazi analogy should've been held to the same standard. This of course is ridiculous.

Nails it:
Strong? Check.
Independent? Check.
Woman? Check.
Part of the hive mind? Error. Difference of opinion detected. Purge initiated.

Seen it coming.

It is not hard to see the fascism of the left.
