More companies pledge to give their workers time to vote

But this year, the idea is gaining steam. Six hundred companies, including Lyft, Airbnb and Paramount, have signed on to ElectionDay.org, which asks companies to give employees time off to vote or distribute information on voting, including how to obtain main-in ballots. It is not clear how many of those 600 are allowing time off versus distributing voting information.

“There is a groundswell of interest coming out for this,” said Nora Gilbert, director of partnerships for Vote.org. In a letter to employees, Starbucks President and CEO Kevin Johnson said the company’s voting pledge is part of a larger effort to promote racial equality and opportunity in the communities it serves.About half of U.S. states require employers to give workers at least a few hours off to vote in elections, according to Workplace Fairness, a nonprofit that tracks employment issues.

Good. Can’t wait for Republicans to cry about this.

Polls are open till 9:00. Most people only work till 5:00.

It would help people to have time off to vote.
