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.
Twelve Latino employees from the I Don’t Care Bar and Grill in Tulsa, Okla. told Fox 23 News they were fired over text message because they didn’t show up for their shift and failed to let their employers know about their absence. The employees told the station they expected to be reprimanded, but not dismissed.

Sorry but if you are told you will be terminated if you do not show up for work then you show up for work. Also if you don't tell your employer you aren't coming in you should expect to be fired.
I can't really feel sorry for them, it's not like they weren't warned. As for the protest its self, I have a friend that works in Washington DC. About 100 restaurants closed but she said there were about 200 or more opened and no one was inconvenienced. So I have to ask.. what did they accomplish?
