Chances of being fired for speaking out about Palestine (hexbear.net)

submitted 11 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

I've started seeing various stories of people in the media speaking out in support of Palestine and being swiftly fired. I'm very curious if the current state of propaganda is going to increase the chance of people working in non-public facing jobs of also being fired and branded anti-Semitic. I'm scared of this coming up in the workplace because I don't think I'd be able to keep my mouth shut and I could absolutely see certain people starting shit.

If you're worried about this you should be unionizing

Some states have anti BDS laws that they require unionized, state employees to sign
