Guest Column: S.C. Republicans Aligning With Democrats On Workplace Vaccine Mandates

Banning mandates in government employment is one thing, but outlawing the right of a private business owner to set the requirements for employment in their own business is another matter. The employees already have the right to choose to work elsewhere. If a private business wants to set the criteria for association, either employees or customers, what business is it of anyone else? We are free to affiliate, with our services or our purchases, with a competitor. It’s the same as if a business wants their customers to wear a mask, I have no right to be upset about it. I’ll just go somewhere else. Some of y’all only want freedom for people who think like you, and then you point a finger at the progressives that do the same thing.
