If a worker is slinging slurs there should be ways to stop them, but that doesn’t mean we have to empower private enterprise to have even more control over our lives. The boss shouldn’t be the one that gets to decide what counts as hate speech.
Private enterprise != boss/business owned by a capitalist. A socialist business, jointly owned and run by all of the workers, is still a private enterprise. And they should still be able to collectively decide the terms and/or process around deciding to continue association between an individual and the company and revoke that privilege for anyone that violates those terms. I was not defending any boss from firing people based on their personal feelings for their Facebook posts. That is not acceptable. It’s also an entirely different aspect than what I was speaking about. But neither should the enterprise itself be unallowed to hold people to account or decide that they do not wish to continue a business arrangement if the other party says some bigoted shit.
