Now some are adding yet another incentive to attract — and retain — workers: paid time off to protest. The new policies come as technology firms and other companies take a stand against the Trump administration’s plan to tighten restrictions for foreign workers. “If you’re a tech company, taking a pro-immigration stand is not exactly a bold move,” said Peter Cappelli, a management professor at the Wharton School. Founder Laura Gómez, who is from Mexico, said it was a “no-brainer” to give workers paid leave to make their voices heard. Why should this be any different?”For her part, Gómez said, she plans to participate in a pro-immigration march on May 1.
