They could have protested before work, during lunch, after work, scheduled a day off or maybe protested a different day or even a different location.
The right to protest is simply the idea that you can protest - it's a very simple idea.
It doesn't mean it gives you permission to miss school, work, legal appointments, court, etc - so you can protest. It would be rather funny to hear a person tell a Judge they missed a court date because they were out protesting.
In any State, those people would have been rightfully fired assuming the Company policy has always been enforced.
