John Ernst has an interesting and valid point. The assumption that employees can say what they want about their employer when they're not on the job was perhaps a bit of wishful thinking. It "seems only fair" that employees could report on those aspects of a large corporation's activities that are pertinent to public issues and don't disclose proprietary information to competitors. "Seeming only fair" is probably the tip off that there's no protection for it outside of specific contract language. >It would be interesting to know if Maggie has the right of free >speech as an employee in this country.
