Why would you be interested in what libertarians think about this issue? Libertarians are free speech absolutists, so there is no issue here for libertarians. On the other hand, I am SHOCKED liberals and progressives have an issue with employers talking politics with their employees. I thought liberals and progressives love the "public square" and people leaving their atomized shells to engage in political issues. What could be better than employers and employees standing around the watercooler engaging each other as citizens concerned about current events?

I'd be very interested in hearing what libertarians think about this. -raghu. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
