It's not a strawman if plenty of people in this comment section are making the exact argument. And if I can't fire an employee for being hostile to my other employees, then I do not have freedom of association.

You do not have pure freedom of association. Both a set of laws and our culture do not allow you to refuse to do business with people.
Yes. However, none of those laws prevent you from firing someone who is creating a hostile work environment for your other employees.
freedom of association is incidental to my initial response. I was speaking about freedom of speech they are different things.
