                      She was hired by Kerry today to work on his campaign.

                      Yes. What happened is considered a civil rights violations: both free speech and voter's rights. The owner is crazy because the burden of proof in Federal court for this type of thing is very low.

                                  This is the same kind of person who probably stomps around declaring America the land of the free. Meanwhile, he just fired a woman for her political beliefs.

                                  Yay for hypocrisy!

                                                      Read the article. It say's "her" car in several places....


                                                      "Gobbell of Moulton didn't pay a cent for the sticker that she proudly displays on the rear windshield of her Chevrolet Lumina"


                                                      It also says she worked a bagging machine in a factory. Since when do factories issue company cars to their employees?

                                                      It was her own car.

                                                      A boss has certain rights when his employee is representing his company in an official capacity. If she were wearing a t-shirt at work that was pro-Kerry maybe he'd have a leg to stand on in telling her to stop wearing it to work or be fired. But her car?

                                                      He could have told her to park her car off company property I suppose, but I don't see how sporting a Kerry sticker would impact negatively on anyone's business in the first place.

A more public establishment may want a rule that preculdes making politcal statemenst on company properity. About any statement you make on the subject is gonna piss someone off so why lose business.

If it's a decent union and they have good language in their collective agreement, well, any collective agreement worth it's salt should/would have wording in it regarding unfair management practise.

                                                                                                      Hard to see the legitimacy of how a boss can tell an employee what they can or dan't put in or on their own car. Like I said earlier, he probably just should have told her she can no longer park her car on his lot, but even in that it could blow up into a big mess.

                                                                                                      She works for him, he doesn't own her like a slave.

                                                                                                          No but he can fire her for whatever reason he wants as long as it's not protected by the laws of Alabama because there are certainly no Federal laws against firing someone for their political beliefs.

                                                                                                          In GA, you can fire someone if you don't like the way they cut their hair.

                                                                                                          Unlike the north the south isn't real big on unions. I'm betting that if there's a union involved, we would have heard about it by now. Or it realizes he had every right to fire her

This has only applied to newspapers so far.

                                                                                                                                  The fact the business handed out pro-Bush pamphlets shows the company had a defined politcal leaning. Ergo, the dismissal was a violation of the woman's right to free speech.
