WalMart to Employees: Vote for Republicans or Evil Unions Will Sodomize You!
August 2nd, 2008
In case there was any remaining doubt about whether Wal-Mart was completely without any sense of morality or ethics, this article should dispel those illusions. They are telling their people that unions are bad and they should vote against Democrats who will help the unions. Now, I’m not legal expert, but isn’t such mandatory anti-union and vote-persuasion propaganda illegal in this context?
“The meeting leader said, ‘I am not telling you how to vote, but if the Democrats win, this bill will pass and you won’t have a vote on whether you want a union,’” said a Wal-Mart customer-service supervisor from Missouri. “I am not a stupid person. They were telling me how to vote,” she said.
And can Wal-Mart get off the hook simply by claiming they’re not doing what they’re obviously doing, or is that power limited only to the Republican Party? Or is there no difference?
