Freedom of speech and employment.
The
National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) receives thousands of complaints each
year from employees terminated for what they say and post on their social networks.
In a right to work--you can be fired for complaining, unless a group of workers
are collectively complaining about working conditions or co-workers. Go to HR.
