Yes. Well the matter can perhaps be handled similarly to the manner in which individuals handle friendships. We tend to associate on the basis of common interests, and should we in the course of forming alliances discover our allies acting in ways that counter our interests, we tend to separate. Employers can operate likewise, except the interests should perhaps focus more on economics (it seems to me this would be natural in a business setting anyway). I grant it is ultimately a murky area (what isn't?), but reasonable people can amble their way through it well enough. One can argue that an employee's public behaviour runs counter to his employer's persona if that behaviour falls outside what is generally accepted by the employer, and that therefore the employer should have the right of disassociation. A man is known by his friends, and I might add his employees. Merely because an employer has money is no reason to force him to tacitly support behaviour that is anathema to him.
