Suspended For Free Speech

After my friend, who i'll keep anon for now, made a remark about his workplace, Sainsbury's, an English supermarket, he has been suspended from work for a week under something the company are claiming as 'New Policy'.

My friend made the comment on his Facebook status, saying:
"-name- is sickened by Sainsbury's attitude"
His friend then commented:
""Why, what have they done?"
Which he replied:
"They're just cunts. You do everything for them and they just shit on you, almost literally!"

Past the strong language, surely it is up to him what he says? After all we have free speech, we have rights? So what makes it possible for him to be suspended for a week over this? As far as I can see he's entitled to his own opinion.

Anyone who's had something similar happen, disagrees with this, or wants to protect free speech, please upvote and do something about it!
Thank you.
