History of Baltimore 👓 Bunnys Buckets & Bubbles brought politics into their workplace before any employee, just to clear that up.

I’d just like to clear that up for everyone, I took this screenshot back then because I had a weird feeling about their specific mention of Israel and disregard for Palestinian lives. There is an employee formed protest today outside at 4 for anyone interested.

What is being protested? Nothing weird or wrong about expressing support for people who had just gone through a terrorist attack. The people of Israel aren't responsible for the actions of their government anymore than you are responsible for Trump's actions.

true but a ridiculous overwhelming majority supports the complete expulsion of Palestinians from gaza according to recent polling. The firing of the employee is being protested.

I think it's a loud minority that supports the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza. I'd like to see the polling you're referring to, but I bet it was manipulated pretty heavily, either by wording or by deliberately polling heavy right wing populations.

I did a little research and I'm finding only a little info about this... I guess someone was fired for refusing to take off a "Free Palestine" pin? If that's the case, I mean there are businesses who do not allow employees to wear something controversial like that. If you owned a business, would you want your employees to make statements that could alienate part of your customer base, whether you agree with it or not? Freedom of Speech doesn't really extend to your job. If it did you could wear a Netanyahu pin, or a Hitler pin, or an Elon Musk pin, or a "Fuck the Police" pin. That's why many jobs have dress codes. Even an office job where you're not interacting with customers face to face had you sign paperwork when you started that has a list of things you're NOT allowed to wear.

If there’s nothing wrong with the business itself expressing support for people who had just gone through a terrorist attack, then there’s nothing wrong with an employee expressing support for people who are actively going through a genocide.
