This has nothing to do with the "justice system". Private companies can make their own decisions.

criminal history should be a protected class just like being black
basically he got fired for something outside of work
should be illegal

I’m just going to assume you’re young and don’t appreciate the creepiness of what he said to teens. Hopefully in ten years you’ll look back and see how messed up it was.

That’s how it is in the USA, an employer can fire an employee for any number of reasons that don’t involve a crime.
An employee does not get any guarantee of employment. Getting convicted of a sex crime will definitely get someone fired, but an employer can fire someone simply for being counterproductive. Though most government jobs do require a number of official complaints first.
For contract work common in entertainment there are legal obligations. An employer can break a contract at will, but it may end up in court if not settled privately.

Wait, do you think companies shouldn’t be able to fire someone for being a sex pest?
MaxVoltage@lemmy.world 11 months ago
no its the judiciarys job to punish criminals
once convincted a death penalty should prevent any trouble
Poob@lemmy.ca 11 months ago
You realize that being fired for being a sex pest isn’t federal punishment right? It’s just a company looking after their own bottom line. Are you old enough to understand that public outcry isn’t the same thing as a criminal sentence?
Should the company be forced to employ Roiland until he gets a death sentence?

You don’t always need to meet the legal standard of a crime to be a piece of shit
