EMPLOYEE RIGHTS CASE STUDY 2

Rights are defined as those unalienable guarantees one enjoys by being human.

According to Noonan (2016), rights ensures that all individuals are treated with respect and

dignity by being humans, irrespective of their financial, education, race, and religious beliefs

among others. One of the rights which the US Constitution guarantees is the right against

discrimination based on personal characteristics such as religion, and race among others. The

Constitution’s First Amendment also provides for the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the

right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition. While these rights are provided for,

their guarantee ends when they come in conflict with those of others. According to the provisions

of employment law, Noonan (2016) argues that while companies have a right to terminate the

employment of an employee, such rights come with some accountability. According to Noonan

(2016), employers should at all times adhere to the employment standards while at the same time

respecting human rights.

In the case of Allen Lopez and the ExtremeNet management, I believe that what Allen

did was within his constitutional rights to criticize the management of the company for what he

saw as an open violation of human rights. By writing and publishing a satiric website which

could be seen to criticize the violations of the ExtremeNet management, Allen conduct was

protected by the provision of the First Amendment and firing him would result in a violation of

his civil rights. The management of the company would only be justified by firing Allen by

proving that he acted in malice, which in this case didn’t happen since he didn’t directly refer to

ExtremeNet in his publication. According to the Supreme Court decision in the case of Hustler

Magazine v. Falwell, one has a right to say whatever they wish to, no matter how unpleasant, as

long as it is satirical. The court stated that “a parody, while admittedly in bad taste, is not

considered malicious” (CaseBrief, 2017).
