Just to be fair to both sides, I wanted to share this with you as reported by Brit Hume on Foxnews.
Another Sticker-ey Situation
A woman in Moulton, Alabama, says she was fired last week from the Enviromate Insulation Factory for displaying a "Kerry-Edwards" sticker on her car.
Lynne Gobbell says she was told by her boss to remove the sticker, but she refused, insisting he, "couldn't tell me who to vote for." So, she tells the Decatur Daily, she was then fired.
She has spent much of the week waiting to hear if she's eligible for unemployment compensation, but no need for that now. John Kerry himself has since called her, and offered her a job with his campaign, though she says Kerry didn't offer many details about the job.
Now, I don't think she should have been fired. She should be free to put whatever sticker she wants to on her car, as long as it doesn't promote violence or things like hurting the President.
The boss was wrong to fire her. Plain and simple.
I think if she had been fired for that she would have been meeting with John Edwards to files lawsuit. I suspect there is probably more to the story than one bumper sticker. Unless she sues, the employer probably can't tell their side of the story for fear of being sued for that.
