Private businesses aren't allowed to choose who to hire and fire?

Certainly not in California, they went way above and beyond the national employee protections to guarantee all employees of the state are protected for their political views:

-Section 1101 of the California Labor Code provides: No employer shall make, adopt, or enforce any rule, regulation, or policy: (a) Forbidding or preventing employees from engaging or participating in politics or from becoming candidates for public office. (b) Controlling or directing, or tending to control or direct the political activities or affiliations of employees.

-Section 1102 of the California Labor Code provides: No employer shall coerce or influence or attempt to coerce or influence his employees through or by means of threat of discharge or loss of employment to adopt or follow or refrain from adopting or following any particular course or line of political action or political activity.

I have no idea how this case will turn out, I assume Disney puts some sort of legal protections in their contracts that they make all their actresses sign, but the state law is definitely on the side of the employee in CA
