interesting situation, freedom of speech, 1st amendment right, and union contract, vs employers rules.

Can an union employee of Ford say to the elected official that tops the executive branch, a government representative, ""pedophile protector"' without consequence, because the union has a contract, and the employee is a citizen with the freedom of speech to say anything to the government. 

Clarification, can he say that, and keep his job? 

I think so. It's going to be interesting to see how the union vs the corporation legal contest turns out. But, I doubt the contract will be renewed with the same protection of free speech. 

A go fund me or two were set up, and instantly raised about a million dollars, to provide financial support for the guy that told the pres, he's a criminal accessory to the crime of sexual assault of children, for preventing the Epstein facts from seeing the inside of a courtroom.



"we stand with our membership in protecting their voice on the job," said Laura Dickerson, UAW VP Ford Department Director.

    It depends on what the contract says, or if there is a code of conduct he agreed to. If he is at work on company time, the 1st amendment doesn't protect him from company rules. I imagine that the union will fight hard to keep his job, because that's what unions do, and the union leadership probably doesn't support Trump. Many of the rank and file members probably do, though.
