I am genuinely curious and I am glad that you have engaged in this discussion. How would you feel about a hypothetical scenario where an employer provided paid time off plus bonuses on Election Day for employees who are registered Republicans, but not for registered Democrats? (I am not sure if there is a law against things like this, but I am more interested in your opinion rather than the legality of such an action..) How about a hypothetical scenario where employers simply ordered registered Democrats to switch their party affiliation or get fired? Surely there is a point where "free speech" by employers crosses the line and becomes coercive, no? -raghu. _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
