The Free Speech Union is reeling from internal grievances involving allegations of racism, workplace discrimination, and sexually inappropriate remarks by senior members of staff.
The Free Speech Union (FSU) is facing internal allegations of racism and inappropriate behaviour. The claims centre around chief operating officer Sigrun Olafsdottir and legislative affairs director Sam Armstrong.
Olafsdottir allegedly told a junior member of staff she would 'never hire a black person' during a one-on-one meeting last year. Armstrong has been accused of making staff members uncomfortable by discussing Sydney Sweeney's 'assets' in a meeting with over a dozen staff present.
Why this matters: The allegations may complicate how the organisation presents itself as a nonpartisan group defending free speech.
What this means for you: If you're a member of the Free Speech Union, you may want to review their policies and practices regarding workplace behaviour.
