We were only allowed to wear our union button and no other items that contained any messages. The workplace is not a democracy and you are subject to the restrictions placed upon expression by the employer. If you don’t like those restrictions, you go home.

Imagine a different employee that did the same but elected to mark the mask 😷 with KKK? What would the employer do then if the first employee had been allowed to work with the BLM mask?
