My question involves labor and employment law for the state of: Arkansas, or Federal.
I took a class on legal environment of business. The teacher explained to us that the freedom of Speech & Press (and its fifty state counterparts) only prohibit government action. It does not extend to the private sector. A boss can fire you if he finds out (or even thinks) you were attending a political rally of a politician he hates.
Is that doctrine absolute, or are there exceptions to it? We didn't talk about the exceptions except the really notable ones (such as the right not to be fired because you're black). Are there any exceptions that you guys can tell me about?
