I support people who want to protest; I support people who choose to boycott; I oppose Ramasar's actions. But, I am also a big fan of facts. Here is what I understand to be the case.
He was rehired because he did not engage in any conduct related to his employment or that ran afoul of his employment agreement. He committed no crime. We can think that the production should nonetheless have declined to hire him, and we can freely express our displeasure, but having been hired, he cannot be discharged for the same reason he was rehired. And (this is opinion, not fact) employing falsity to make one's points and enlist support for one's position ultimately undercuts any power one might otherwise have.
And when one urges a certain action, it is well to consider how broad a brush one is painting with. There are rights at issue here that ought not be compromised easily. |
