TOPEKA, Kan. (WIBW/Gray News) - A Goodyear employee says the company has put out a new policy that has some calling it not equal for all.
A photo seen circulating on social media shows a slide that was presented during a diversity training showing what’s acceptable and what isn’t acceptable as part of Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company’s zero-tolerance policy.
Under acceptable: Black Lives Matter (BLM), Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender Pride.
Listed as unacceptable: Blue Lives Matter, All Lives Matter, MAGA Attire, Political Affiliated Slogans or Material.
According to the employee who took the photo of the slide, it was presented at the Topeka plant by an area manager and says the slide came from their corporate office out of Akron, Ohio.
"If someone wants to wear a BLM shirt in here, then cool. I'm not going to get offended about it. But at the same time, if someone's not going to be able to wear something that is politically based, even in the farthest stretch of the imagination, that's discriminatory," said the employee under the agreement of anonymity due to fears they could lose their job. "If we're talking about equality, then it needs to be equality. If not, it's discrimination."

“Goodyear is committed to fostering an inclusive and respectful workplace where all of our associates can do their best in a spirit of teamwork. As part of this commitment, we do allow our associates to express their support on racial injustice and other equity issues but ask that they refrain from workplace expressions, verbal or otherwise, in support of political campaigning for any candidate or political party as well as other similar forms of advocacy that fall outside the scope of equity issues.”

Is this where all the hardcore leftist randomly take a libertarian stance?
"If you don't like it, go start your own goodyear", he says as he hurls homemade explosives at the federal courthouse in Portland.

Here’s a link. An employee took a pic of a PowerPoint slide which shows what is acceptable and what is not. Really is crazy. Imagine switching what’s accepted and not....

Wrong.
This makes for a hostile environment. Basically saying one political leaning is more acceptable than another. This isn't right. It may not be illegal but it is certainly unethical.

Goodyear is overpriced. Just bought a full set of Coopers.

1) A post better suited for the political talk board.
2) So what? If you disapprove, don't buy their product. Don't work there. Problem solved.

its the same as the militant atheists finding a random out of context scripture meme that they don't believe. standing on the Bible and claiming Christians should be socialists.
