Workers also have the right to speak out about an employer's unlawful conduct that harms them or other workers, such as discrimination, harassment, wage violations, and opposition to union efforts to improve conditions, said Jahan Sagafi, partner-in-charge of Outten & Golden's San Francisco office, where he represents workers in employment class actions.
First: Use common sense and don't be disruptive at work, Sagafi said. Don't plan a protest for societal change on company grounds or on company time, or using company resources."In general, the company has the right to maintain an orderly, inclusive, productive environment for everyone," Sagafi said.
Simply going to a protest might not rise to the level of firing, but if you're posting publicly, or there's a photo of you holding up a sign or throwing something or even just putting something on social media like"I hate oil," it could be reasonable grounds for a company to fire you, she added.
