Viral video of man picking on Chick-fil-A worker gets him fired

Me either. I have a right to have professional people who do not cause public disturbances. (I do not own a company) but if I did and my employees were causing public disturbances, I would can their asses immediately.

As an employer, you are required by law to inform new hires of exactly what is expected of them. If you can't do that, you have no grounds to fire them, if they didn't know they were violating a company policy.
 
Freedom of speech is a civil right. There are laws against violating someone's civil rights. Unless this cat violated mpany policy, he can't be fired for showing his ass.

This is not about freedom of speech.

In my opinion it is more about property rights.
 
This dumbass is saying sorry now. Sure you are sorry-you want that job back. What a dickhead. lol

BTW, I am opposed to Chick-Fil A but this guy is just dumb.
 
So this guy is going to be one of the few who apply for unemployment this month. His employer is paying it. An employer has the right to fire its employees. The employee did not represent the employer to their expectations. All is fair.

It depends on the nature of the relationship between the employee and employer. For instance, the position in which I work is characterized as "employment-at-will," meaning my employer can terminate my employment at any time for any reason the company deems necessary without informing me why. Likewise, I can quit whenever I want for whatever reason I want without telling the company why. Now, if there is some sort of employment contract (like a collective bargaining agreement) that might be a different matter.

Either way, this isn't about the First Amendment. Like I said earlier, it MIGHT be grounds for a civil suit, but it's not a violation of the First Amendment.

There are probably laws that prohibit firing someone for something like this, but the Constitution doesn't prohibit it.

Wrong. If the actions of an employee harm the company and the company has an "at-will employment" agreement with the employee, that's all it takes. Would you support the rights of a company to sue an employee who quits his job because he no longer likes the company he works for?
