  1. What she said was not overly complicated. Attending the rally/protest is not fireable. If the employee engaged in simple civil disobedience (such as peacefully entering the restricted area outside the building, sitting down, and peacefully waiting to be arrested), firing would be allowable, but a judgement call. It’s still a form of peaceful protest, even if it involves a minor violation. It’s called passive resistance, and a lot depends on the situation (quick example, occupying a sidewalk, vs occupying and blocking the freeway). Pushing past the police (even if one didn’t attack them) is active resistance, and that crosses another line. Not covered: There’s also the matter of statements made before, during, and after. Some employers would want to give a good employee the benefit of the doubt if they showed contrition, especially public contrition.
