This being a presidential election year, the topic of the "right"
of political expression in the workplace is of particular interest.
Moreover, given that this year represents the first real opportunity for
the election of an African American for president or a woman as vice
president, there are particularly strong feelings among the electorate,
including employees. As the campaign season continues and moves toward the
general election, many employers are reexamining their rights and policies
with respect to political activities in the workplace.
