Louisiana does have a state statute that generally prohibits employers with twenty or more employees from interfering with an employee's ability to participate in politics. Specifically, LSA-R.S. 23:961 states that:

Except as otherwise provided in R.S. 23:962, no employer having regularly in his employ twenty or more employees shall make, adopt, or enforce any rule, regulation, or policy forbidding or preventing any of his employees from engaging or participating in politics, or from becoming a candidate for public office. No such employer shall adopt or enforce any rule, regulation, or policy which will control, direct, or tend to control or direct the political activities or affiliations of his employees, nor coerce or influence, or attempt to coerce or influence any of his employees by means of threats of discharge or of loss of employment in case such employees should support or become affiliated with any particular political faction or organization, or participate in political activities of any nature or character.

Any individual person violating the provisions of this Section shall be fined not less than one hundred dollars nor more than one thousand dollars, or imprisoned for not more than six months, or both; and any firm, corporation or association violating the provisions of this Section shall be fined not less than five hundred dollars nor more than two thousand dollars.

Should have worn your Kamala/Harris shirt and they would have given you the rest of day off with pay. Winning.

Would imagine they would have a suit on their hands if they told you no.

Go tell your boss you’re going to vote. Don’t ask.

I'm not reading all that shite, but I will say this. A true patriot would quit his job and go vote for the greater good of the country. You owe it to MAGA to take this hit.

Now do what's right.

No idea if you have recourse, but this is a reason to try and vote early. Sorry that they’re attempting to stifle you. As a conservative in academia, I empathize.


I do suppose you could suddenly start coughing and tell them that you’re worried you have covid… take your sick leave for the afternoon and go vote. Take tomorrow off as well to hopefully celebrate and drive home the sick act…

Just leave, go vote, and return to office. It's not that difficult

Aren’t you owed a lunch? Why can’t you do that for personal reasons. Are her personal reasons more important than yours?

Did they allow the other workers time off to vote? I’d be sure to make a request via email in case you need to escalate.

Us the food poisoning excuse.
shite all over the bathroom and then walk out with your pants still around your ankles.
Hold your stomach and act like your are going to puke all over the place.

I have used it several times to go drink beer on a Friday at lunch.
