CAN YOUR EMPLOYER RESTRICT YOUR POLITICAL EXPRESSION WHILE YOU ARE AT WORK?
If you work in the private sector (as in not for the CA or federal government) your employer might just be able to restrict how you express your feelings on politics in an effort to maintain a non-hostile work environment. However, even this regulation has its limitations. An experienced employment lawyer will be able to help you determine if your employer has crossed the line.
As an employee, you do not want to work in a hostile environment. Your employer might have the right to regulate your political expression, just as she would be able to address other forms of disruptive workplace activity in order to make sure the work place provides a safe, non-threatening environment. However, if your employer discriminates against you by demoting you, firing you, or not providing you with certain benefits, because of your political leanings, then he has taken the regulation too far and you need to speak with an employment attorney.
It’s almost election time. If you are a CA employee who believes you are or have been the victim of a hostile work environment or discrimination due to your political beliefs, call the knowledgeable employment attorneys at Greenberg & Rudman LLP.
