From the article:"We can confirm, however, that no employee has ever been terminated for their political beliefs or their support or opposition of the President or any political candidate," the company said." |

Political affiliation is not a protected class so under Wisconsin law she can be terminated for supporting President Trump, just as she could if she had posts saying that she was a supporter of President Obama. |

Merely for doing something that isn't illegal on her own time, no. If she turned off clients/patients by getting too political or wearing MAGA hat to the office that would be a different story. |

No, I am blaming you and your mindset."Political affiliation is not a protected class so under Wisconsin law she can be terminated for supporting President Trump, just as she could if she had posts saying that she was a supporter of President Obama." Translation. Government gets to decide special "protected" classes for my moral values and if you are not in the class the government decided to protect, then I am not mature enough to judge other peoples lack of maturity either as the civil societies bounds only go so far as to what the government deems best. The Constitution is a floor and not a ceiling. People still need to act like freakin' ADULTS. We don't need a law for that. All of you people saying "at-will", "at-will" would excuse a woman being fired for not putting out or for being raped if it didn't violate a special "at-will" carve-out. This is sick. |

Firing someone in an at-will state for expressing a political opinion on social media is illegal, but first they would have to prove that's the reason they were fired. |

It's not appropriate for a worker to push their political views to customers on company time. (An owner is different, it's his business, and if he wants to turn away 1/2 of his customer base, so be it.But not a worker. Goes for the dentist office, the bagel shop, or....the NFL |

If she's shoving it in customers face. Free game, could be fired. On her own time....should be protected from firing (so long as her Facebook account or whatever is not affiliated with her employer). |

She posted, and it's quotes, "MAGA 2020". Before Robyn Polak attended President Donald Trump's Jan. 14 rally in Milwaukee, she expressed her support for him on Facebook by posting a "MAGA 2020" comment on a news story about the visit.She said that comment, and possibly a few others like it, got her fired from her job. Polak, a South Milwaukee resident who was the only dental assistant at Precision Dental MKE, 6203 S. Howell Ave., said someone found out where she worked, went on her employer’s Facebook page and posted a negative review. The person did not recommend the dental office saying “employees spouting [sic] racist comments on Facebook.” Robyn Polak of South Milwaukee says she was fired Jan. 14 from her job as a dental assistant for posting a pro-Trump comment on Facebook.

(Photo: Submitted) Polak said she didn’t have any interactions with the person who posted the review but was told they had “trolled others before.” Polak denied she was a racist, saying she has African American siblings and is partially Native American. “I’m not racist,” she said. “But I am just kind of speechless about all this.” Company's response The “Precision Dental MKE” account responded to the review. “I am so very sorry to have learned that this was posted. We are handling the situation in-house as we speak. I assure you that this office does not share those beliefs,” the response said. Polak said "handling it in-house" meant she got fired over the phone. Precision Dental MKE, 6203 S. Howell Ave., Milwaukee, Wisconsin.Buy Photo Precision Dental MKE, 6203 S. Howell Ave., Milwaukee, Wisconsin. (Photo: Erik S. Hanley/Now News Group) “I was taking my son to speech class, doing errands and my boss called and said, ‘We need to terminate you,’ ” Polak said. “The office manager said it was for the review they got on their Facebook (page), but my name wasn’t on there. They assumed it was me because I’m the only Republican in that office.” Employees at Precision Dental MKE told a reporter who visited the office Wednesday that they couldn't legally discuss the matter. However, the office did release a statement: "Precision Dental MKE believes in the privacy of an employee's terms of employment, retention or discharge," the statement said. "As a matter of course, Precision Dental MKE does not discuss employee personnel matters. Precision Dental MKE believes dentistry is nonpolitical. "We can confirm, however, that no employee has ever been terminated for their political beliefs or their support or opposition of the President or any political candidate," the company said. This disparaging review on the Precision Dental MKE Facebook page led to the firing of Robyn Polak, she says. Polak said she doesn't know the reviewer but heard they had "trolled others before." This disparaging review on the Precision Dental MKE Facebook page led to the firing of Robyn Polak, she says. Polak said she doesn't know the reviewer but heard they had "trolled others before." (Photo: Submitted) Since the incident, the official Facebook page for Precision Dental MKE is not accessible. The company also appears to have been review-bombed on Google with 15 new reviews posted in under 10 hours — 14 of them are one star. Many comments in the reviews reference the firing, saying it shouldn’t have happened. Additionally, Polak said many have reached out to her directly offering support. As of Jan. 15, the company website, www.precisiondentalmke.com, has been set to private and is no longer accessible. On her own time Polak said she did not make any posts on the company’s page nor did she post on company time. Additionally, she said there was no social media policy in the company handbook. "This was totally off hours,” she said. “I was sitting on my couch supporting my president.” Polak has already filed for unemployment as she also has a 3-year-old son to take care of and is looking for work. However, she said if Precision Dental MKE offered her job back she wouldn’t take it. “There’s too much that happened,” she said. “They were arguing with me on the phone saying ‘We got this review and we can’t have that.’ ” |

But you don't see Republicans as a political class. You see them as a hate group. Same with Christianity.That's how the Left will get around "protected class" protections. That's how you, the Left, will take over. |
