I note in this connection that the legislature has enacted a panoply of other statutes that protect employees from retaliatory conduct by their employers for conduct of the employee both on and off the worksite, but that do not embroil the state in aligning itself on the side of one person’s right of expression against that of another. See, e.g., General Statutes § 2-3a (where employee serves in state legislature); General Statutes § 31-51m (where employee reports violation of law by employer); General Statutes §§ 31-40k and 31-40o (where employee seeks information regarding toxic substances at workplace); General Statutes § 31-290a (where employee files claim for workers’ compensation benefits); General Statutes § 31-379 (where employee files complaint regarding violation of Occupational Safety and Health Act); General Statutes § 51-247a (where employee serves as juror); General Statutes § 52-361a (j) (where employee becomes subject to wage execution); General Statutes § 53-303e (b) (where employee refuses to work on sabbath because of religious observance); General Statutes § 27-33 (where employee is engaged in military duty); General Statutes § 28-17 (where employee engages in civil preparedness or becomes eligible for induction into armed services).
