Should involvment in community organizations cost you your job?

Lets say you're a member of a community organization that would have conflicting interest with your job but there is no proof it had any affect on you work performance. Should you still be fired?

What sort of "conflicting interests" are we talking about?

Did you leave your white hood on your front seat?

Just an example but lets say a person speaks out against abortion but works in an abortion clinic. Should the clinic be able to fire them for it?

Never take off the hood for pictures, dude.

So the KKK is a "community organization" now?
Wow.
Wow.

Is this about the cop caught at the KKK rally?

"Should" is very nebulous word in this instance. There could be a litany of reasons your boss/company might not want you to become a member of a community organization even if it doesn't have any negative effect on your job performance. For the most part, your employer can fire you for whatever reason they want in the state of Louisiana. Whether they "should" or "shouldn't" is immaterial and is wholly subjective Likewise, you are free to leave that employment for whatever reason you choose (assuming for both that there is no employment contract)

Why would that person be working at an abortion clinic?

Like..if you're a high school principal and it's found out that you're in the Klan?

They pay is good and couldn't find anything else. Why does that matter?

Absolutely. Why would an employer want to keep an employee who is against the employer's mission? Pretty easy solution to that issue. If you are against abortion, don't work at an abortion clinic. No one is forced to work there

So your hypothetical person is unprincipled whore?
Posted on 9/3/15 at 4:42 pm to FelicianaTigerfan
Certainly not. A poster on here, SabiDojo, had to deal with some repercussions simply because he belonged to a MC. No one should have to deal with that.

With an unblemished work record and an asset to the company.

Is td.com a community organization?
Posted on 9/3/15 at 4:48 pm to FelicianaTigerfan
Such a wide spectrum.
Community Organization can mean anything from helping kids with cancer run a lemonade stand or having a klan rally.
