Michigan’s an at-will employment state, meaning that the employment between an employee/employer can be ended at will by either party, provided the reason isn’t on the basis of a protected class. Given that the reason for their firing isn’t on the basis of protected class, it’s certainly fair. While a business can refuse service to a customer, it’s important to remember that right applies to *businesses,* not individuals representing a business

No, political affiliation is not a protected class; it’s a private establishment they have the right to refuse service. Remember a bakery went to court about right to refusal of service over get this sexuality which is or at least was a protected class until she sued because didn’t want to make a cake for a gay wedding.

Is it legally justified? Technically yes. The business has the legal right to refuse service to anyone for any non-legally protected reason. You as an employee do not have the right to do so without any consequences from your employer. Completely legal termination. Fair in the eyes of the law. Fair as in socially acceptable? Let’s just say I don’t see that business being successful in Michigan for a hot minute

Yeah of course it’s fair. If it’s your job to serve customers and you blatantly refuse to do so of course you can and should get fired. And no, it is not important to note that political affiliation is not a protected trait, that has literally nothing to do with this.

No dude. That case has literally nothing to do with this. That was an issue between a business and the government. This is an issue between employees and their employers. If I hire an employee to serve my customers, and they refuse to do so because they don’t like what the customer is wearing, not only do I have the right to fire them but I’d be an idiot not do. The issue of whether or not political affiliation is a protected class has absolutely NOTHING to do with this.

And you can fire them but they can sue for wrong termination which I wouldn’t be surprised if they tried to why, that is a private establishment, private business, they can refuse service to anyone. That bakery only brought it to the government because the couple went through the governor to sue the woman. I was giving an example of how a private business said no to a protected class that has changed law to where you can say no to protected classes then you can say no to a none protected class.

Yes they can sue for wrongful termination. Anyone can sue anyone for anything. They would have absolutely no case though because they were not wrongfully terminated. People with bangs are not a protected class. If my employees refuse to serve people with bangs do you actually think it’s illegal for me to fire them? Please think a little bit before talking so confidently out of your butt.

There’s no predetermined amount of annoyance this person with bangs could be unless this was a hair salon, and the worker were a stylist who refused said they weren’t touching it because they aren’t going to be blamed for messing up their hair, which by the hair salons often refuse people for bangs, for color jobs, cuts; let’s have some common sense. Don’t use an example that’s doesn’t fit. Let’s think a little before so confidently speaking out our ass shall we.
