In response to a letter by Elaine Makas (May 31), I firmly believe that employees have a responsibility to adhere to policies set by their employers, regardless if employed by a sports team, as a fast-food associate, dental hygienist, etc.

The work place is just that — a place for work. Peacefully protesting perceived social injustice (or any issue) is a right all Americans have — out of the workplace on a person’s own dime and time.

Can you imagine if protests were allowed at all workplaces?

Really?
