Immigration protests spark job losses across the U S
Six Houston seafood plant workers were fired for skipping shifts to join a pro immigration march while 21 Detroit meat cutters were dismissed after attending a protest. A Los Angeles area teen faced pressure over participation, prompting calls to schedule rallies for weekends and evenings. Pedro Ortega, fired after a March 10 march, was rehired later with conditions, and he plans to attend another Chicago rally on May 1.
