Dozens of workers lose their jobs for participating in Day Without Immigrants protest




The Day Without Immigrants protest shut down businesses nationwide last week, but it didn’t come without some consequences for a handful of workers who decided to take part in the demonstrations. Dozens of workers said they lost their jobs after taking part in Thursday’s protest. The boycott was aimed squarely at President Trump's efforts to step up deportations, build a wall at the Mexican border and close the nation's doors to many travelers. It was unclear how many participated.



Synthesis: This is very unfair! People have the right to freedom of speech and to protest for their rights. Therefore these workers shouldn't have their jobs taken away from them just because they are fighting for what they believe in.
