If they banned all political apparel at large, including democrat merch, it would be pretty sensible. Most workplaces are like this already and it’s a good thing, because the last thing people need is to have an underlying political friction with coworkers.
But if they banned specifically MAGA hats or Trump merch, they can get BTFO’d, especially so if they turned their flag into a rainbow for Pride month or black for BLM and don’t realize the hypocrisy.
Shame because I liked the blimp. I could take the kids to a baseball game and tell them about buoyancy during the hour long interludes between pitches.
They also banned Blue Lives Matter and All Lives Matter.
In other variations, itd be like banning all Christian necklaces and trinkets, but all muslim items are acceptable. This was an extremely stupid move by Goodyear and those folks who designed and signed off on this should absolutely be terminated. This is blatant and open workplace discrimination they’ve engaged in.
It could be argued that BLM isn't endorsing a specific candidate. Yes, we all know it is, but you could make the argument. Also does anyone know the specific wording of the rule.
Rule 23a.
"No items endorsing a political candidate or party may be worn, for example "MAGA" attire."
or
Rule 23a
"No items may be worn with the MAGA logo or statement on them".
Also they didn't call out Biden wear, they specified MAGA wear. Pretty obvious that car guys lean towards Trump so the HR tards needed to crack down on it. Like you said, though, they have plausible deniability.
Luckily, this isn't a court of law, so we can still tell them to go fuck themselves and not buy their tires.
I don't think any major company should be taking a side in politics or doing politics. They're making tires. There's hardly anything political about it. If they took a position on tax rates for something to do with tire production then I might understand but this is nothing to do with their business or product.
This isn't just political though. It's racial should disgust people even more especially as that's against the law.

Phrasing matters.

I agree, but even if they didn’t pseudo-endorse the left, it is still political speech.
Same way that “support the 2nd amendment” shirts are still “political” even though it’s not directly an endorsement of the Republican Party.
This isn't a court of law and we all know what they are really saying.
