Ok so who specifically is the one being threatened here, how/about what are they being threatened, and how is the one doing the threatening allegedly going to enforce that? The workers as a collective are obviously not being threatened because the firing is not an act of retribution; it's a legitimate response to changing market conditions that necessitate a different mode of operation for their company. (At least in the general case I am considering. I don't know the details of this specific case but if you're saying it has to be illegal than there has to a compelling argument in the general case) To be clear I don't think the fossil fuel business who will be impacted by a Biden energy plan are doing anything wrong to say that there will necessarily be layoffs if he is elected. That's just a very simple cause and effect playing out so there is nothing wrong with predicting layoffs based upon that. My point is that it is OUR job as responsible citizens to respond by saying "Yes, that's right, your industry is going to diminish because it's becoming a relic of the past and not a preferred energy source for our future." and voting for Biden anyways. If only Oil and Coal companies had an obscene amount of profit they could then invest into other forms of energy. If my business involving selling something that was quickly becoming obsolete I would be more concerned with adapting my business to a new product that ISN'T going to be obsolete. The loyalty should be to the employees and the company, and not to make sure all the rocks they are digging up will get to feel useful some day by being burned. --- ~C~ FD https://imgur.com/dGDfxaw <cite>Forceful_Dragon posted [p:946047777] in Politics C...
