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?

So the KKK is a "community organization" now?

Wow.

"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)

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.

Such a wide spectrum.

Community Organization can mean anything from helping kids with cancer run a lemonade stand or having a klan rally.

Quit trying to be cute and set someone up. Just tell us what the organization and job are.

Facebook has been a godsend when trying to decide on hiring. We looked up a guy on Facebook who was about to get hired and saw his activities and his march in a "protest". Thanks for the pictures you posted!

Whew, we got lucky and that guy didn't.

The employer should have the right to fire an employee for any reason.

I work in auto finance and my boss threatened to fire me for joining the occupy movement. I considered suing but then they changed their reasoning because I was "drinking at work".

Talk about a double standard, fricking fascists.
