Legal Question in Employment Law in Utah
Can my employer fire me for signing a referendum petition?
A fellow employee at my company,
an at-will employer in Utah, has
been told that she is not to sign a
referendum petition. Can she be
legally terminated if she signs it?
Curve ball: She is a journalist at a
newspaper.
Putting aside the question of
whether or not she ethically SHOULD
be involved in this democratic
process, does my employer have the
legal authority to tell her NOT to?
