[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t quit your job, do what they ask, but under protest. If they fire you for protesting, it’s wrongful termination, and you’ll have standing to sue[/quote]

Do not listen to this. Firing someone for protesting a job duty is not wrongful termination. [/quote]

Firing someone for protesting against a piece of legislation, is, if the state is the employer.[/quote]

Protesting is different from refusing to carry out your duties, even when the duties are things that the Stasi would approve of

And there are lots of ways to punish someone other than firing them. You've obviously never been made miserable in a workplace - and been encouraged to leave, based on terrible treatment - if you don't know that.[/quote]

Which is why I said to do the job but under protest.[/quote]

And if they punish her in retaliation for exercising her 1A rights it’s a slam dunk hostile work environment suit.[/quote]

Yeah, what everyone dreams of - a hostile work environment that you can maybe bring a lawsuit over.[/quote]

Would you advise she just quit?  Don’t quit OP.  Do your job. Fight for change.  Document everything.[/quote]

No, I would not advise she quit! I would advise she do her job - and if she can't, then find another job - while advocating for change as best she can. If she isn't worried about losing her job, she can protest more strongly/aggressively. If she is worried about losing her job, she has to take that into account.

I'm reacting to the people who seem to think that OP can either NOT do her job, or protest out in the open without suffering any consequences - or, if she does suffer consequences, just sue, easy peasy, life's just fine.

It's HARD. OP knows it's hard. That's why she's saying there, in the first post, that this is hard. It's unconscionable that Republicans have put ALL of us in this terrible situation.

I'd like to know what we can do to support OP and the other librarians who are struggling to do their best through this nightmarish time.[/quote]
