Employment and Marriage Law in Idaho with Bill Mitchell
Bill Mitchell is an attorney and advocate for equal rights in Idaho. He graciously came in to explain a large confusion most people have regarding employment law. Idaho is a right to work state as well as an At Will state, but even with these two designations, you cannot fire people for a protected reason, like their race or gender. You can, however, fire them because they are gay. Although title VII does provide protection on a federal level, it does not apply to organizations under a certain employee threshold. We also spoke about the vote that just passed the house to tell the SCOTUS to revisit its 2015 decision to legalize gay marriage. These are heavy topics but important to understand.
