A former federal prosecutor says that employees could be fired for social-media posts, but other attorneys say that Starbucks should not go too far.
Starbucks employees could be fired for supporting Hamas attacks in Israel, a former federal prosecutor has said.Bill Shipley, now a criminal defense attorney, made his comments after the Starbucks Workers United trade union allowed its social media to be used for posts that appeared to support Hamas. Newsweek has sought comment from Starbucks and Starbucks Workers United via email.
Ron Zambrano, a partner and employment chair at the West Coast Trial Lawyers law firm in Los Angeles, said that employers can 'discharge or otherwise discipline employees for conduct outside the workplace,' but not if it is based on national origin.'For example, if your boss doesn't like your political views espoused through social media, nothing is unlawful if that is the motivating factor, such as your boss doesn't like Democrats.
