Actress intimidated out of a production...

Fucked up?
You're defending firing someone for supporting a political party that you don't like.

No Steve, that is not what I am saying. Would you like to try again?

They pay the cost, they get to be the boss. She voiced her opinion, it didn't jive with their message, and thus they can let her go. The same can be said for any other business institution.

That's exactly what you were doing.
Maybe you could rethink or amend it...

Well I guess you know what I was saying better than I do.
-
Yep.
She supported a political candidate they (and apparently you) didn't like and they canned her. You said that was fine.

Yep, clearly that was all there was to what I posted. Nothing more.

That was what you said whether or not there was more.

I'm pretty sure political affiliation would fit into woody's precious protected list. You can't fire someone based on what political party they support
-
Its not "fair" but actors/actress, and people who are consider face of businesses(PR people) are more preventive in expressing views or opinions that are different from the parent company or are considered controversial. A film/show/theater company would rather drop a small name actor/actress than to face any bad press or potential boycott.
Political views are not protected in most states specially if you are talking about it at work.

Ugh
They weren't being fired just because they support the political party they do. They were being fired because the the potential effects from that support. Boycotts, angry groups at the theater, effects on the other actors, etc. Just the fact that she supported a Tea Party candidate alone isn't why she's being fired.
I'm guessing if you were fired because you were a Rep and your boss was a Dem them you could call byllshit and file something. Assuming there was nothing ejse going on there

You gotta understand, Leroy, you're a fine employee I like you personally as a matter of fact many of my friends are African American. But gee whiz some of the customers here, well, you know, they aren't as cultured as I am so... Anyway good luck on the job search I'll be sure to give you a good recommendation. And merry Christmas to you and the family.

There is a big difference when firing someone based off race and than based off a political opinion, comparing the 2 is kind of absurd. Now if the Employee was for abortion while the Employer was fervently against it(or vice versa), then the Employer could fire the Employee if he wanted(in most states this is allowed).
-
Sorry if you got the wrong idea, Leroy. It's not because of your skin color, no siree Bob! But as I recall didn't you vote for Obama last election? And didn't you have an Obama sticker on your car?
Security could you escort Leroy of the premises?

Pretty much, though you would risk alienating customers that where pro-obama if it came to light that you hire/fire based off who someone votes for. So it would be better practice not to directly say that and to fire Leroy for another reason(even if its borderline made up). http://www.ncsl.org/research/labor-and-employment/discrimination-employment.aspx

Actually counselor I fired him for having an Obama sticker on his car. And we can all be coy about it but let that happen once and let's hear the lawsuits blaring out.
And I'm not required to offend everyone equally. I'm sure there are some people who are pro enforcing the laws of the land spending within the budget etc who felt Maria Conchita should not have been shit canned.

So...in essence fired not for performance but for supporting an unpopular political party. Sounds like a lawsuit to me

Hahaha, no way that would be a top program. It would be boring. You really think the crew on deadliest catch is dealing with "everyday problems"? When was the last time you risked your life on the ocean? But if you want to just say this us popular and this isn't based on your opinion, go ahead. Some people on this board do the sane thing....
So Hollywood is evil? Are we morally bankrupt because of weed and sex without marriage? I see nothing wrong with either of those things. Luckily we've progressed since the thirties.

Are you sure? And what do you base that on?

I like how she's drummed out of the "Latin"community by insinuating that people should do the right thing. Sort of like how Bill Cosby has been criticized for saying similar things. I mean who gives a shit who is going to pay for undocumented migrants, what's more important is were they offended?

Didn't one of these articles also say that candidate was against some measures that would help current illegals gain citizenship? That might not have helped. I also would say that isn't necessarily the "right" thing
