In my life, I’ve held an array of jobs. Sometimes I’d just be off randomly on a Friday (because I’d have to work all weekend).

Some people in this economy are struggling to find jobs, so they can spare time to protest.

Speaking from my current situation, I have a bank of time I could pull from if I wanted to take time off. Many people can easily fake saying they are sick to get time off on short notice. Some people probably have cool bosses who will let them request vacation at the last minute. There’s a million possible scenarios.
