Sometimes a consitutional right is in conflict with the rules of a business because of the difference between private and public areas.
Sometimes it is not. For example a private business cannot violate your consitutional right not to be discriminated agenst because of your race.
But a private business can have a company policy to forbid you from your consitutional right of free speech. |
All constitutional rights have limits! Such as you can't yell fire in a busy theater. Or slander.
A private business can not forbid an employee from saying something. But they are under no obligation to keep someone employed (unless their is a whistle blower statute) if they say something. Sometimes you contract for confidentiality. If you reveal that information the company can't get you arrested, but they can sue you for loses.
Private business can't infringe on you constitutional rights you have it incorrect.
The limits are set via common law set by court rulings interpreting the constitution!
