In this scenario, Gloria has no recourse because the protection of employees' constitutional rights does not apply to employees who are subjected to adverse action by private employers. Though perhaps it goes without saying, an employer is prohibited from terminating a worker or taking other adverse employment action against a worker on the basis of the worker's engaging in constitutionally protected activities. However-and this is a significant limitation-this prohibition applies only where the employer is a public entity, since the Constitution protects against government action rather than action by private employers.
