PORTLAND Oregon Right to Life president says politics cost her job Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Jan. 26, 2016 at 4:50 PM By The Associated Press Posted Jan. 26, 2016 at 4:50 PM » Social News PORTLAND — The new president of Oregon Right to Life says she lost her job at a Portland cleaning company because of her political activity. Harmony Daws spent four years at Sparkling Palaces, and advanced to operations manager. Daws says her boss was concerned that she'd discriminate against those who don't share her beliefs. Daws says she never considered someone's views on abortion when hiring them to clean houses. The owner of Sparkling Palaces didn't return messages seeking comment. Federal laws prohibit employers from firing workers because of gender, race or religion, but there is no such protection for political activity. Paula Brantner is executive director of Workplace Fairness, which provides information to workers about their rights. She says election years generally bring an uptick in stories of people getting fired for political speech or activity.
