job security

To speak or not to speak, that is the question:

With a primary and a statewide referendum less than two weeks out, and a national election looming, Triangle employees have more to talk about than just work these days. “At the workplace, it’s a common misunderstanding among workers that they have an unfettered First Amendment right to say what they want,” McAtee said. “That’s not necessarily true.”

The truth is, we live in a "right to work" state. Which loosely translated means, "you have very few rights". No union rep to mediate or arbitrate for you, and the bar an employer must meet before letting you go is set so low you could step over it without breaking stride. I'm not trying to scare you silent, just raise your awareness.
