It's NOT Big Brother We Should Worry About, It's Big Business. Threatened Layoffs If Mitt Loses

This is illegal.

"...For this reason, federal election law maintains a blanket prohibition on private companies telling their employees which candidate they should support. Even making more nuanced statements - such as suggestions that if one party or the other triumphs, business may suffer and workers may have to be laid off - is illegal under federal law."

Wow - pretty direct

I don't like the idea of doing it

But how is this different from unions advising members to vote democrat ? To protect their interest
 
^ Like the right wing cares.

I'm surprised they are breaking the legs of any employee they think might vote Democrat.

I was formerly employed by a government office in a county which has no Democrats. I was told that my bosses had access to the ballots cast in the county, and that I would be fired if I did not vote Republican.

I was never quite sure whether this was a bluff or true. It did not seem to me that I was important enough for them to go to the trouble of checking. I know that they did check my registration, to make sure I was registered as a Republican (another requirement of working there).
 
Republicans and big business have little recourse in a functioning democracy, so they try and pervert the voting process as much as possible.
 
thinking that business is essentially secular , functionally opposed to or independent of both the church and the government . A business run correctly will minimize the expense of wages , exploit labour , I think slavery is quite cheap . Banking and money-lending was originally a proper sin , which is why it was restricted to the Jews . Government we have the "black market" trillions of dollars ( all drugs and prostitution ) much of our economy is hidden , illegal . So exploiting the workers vs. responding to a demand . Cities founded by the Jesuits or the Hudson's Bay Company .

This is LEGAL in the United States!?!? :eek:

(wait, let me guess - it's illegal in some states, but legal in others) :rolleyes:
 
In terms of first-world countries, the US is one of the most corrupt governments. Only France is more corrupt than the US.
 
According to the WARN Act of 1988, any employer with more than 100 employees must notify their employess of a pending layoff or factory shutdown. This is becoming a very big story after the Department of Defense notified companies like Lockheed Martin that they don't have to noftify their employees of a pending first of the year layoff (which would have to be done by Nov 1st 5 days before the election) and that the DOD would pay any penalties indurred.

Sounds like a whole lot of nothing but people deflecting on the Koch Brothers. When the Obama Admin is playing dirty
 
There they go again... CEO threatens to fire employees unless they vote right

This is utterly ridiculous but apparently the millionaires have decided since they can not restrict the polls by using the law since we have these silly things called courts.

So this numb nuts threatens if they don't install Romney as their dear leader then he will fire employees.

[h=1]CEO threatens to fire employees if President Obama re-elected[/h]
What a piece of shit to try and manipulate his vote. Of course those Koch's are doing the same thing.

[h=2]Koch brothers threaten to fire employees if Obama wins[/h]
What a disgusting group of leeches on America.

That isnt all I imagine now that their vote restrictions have stopped in the courts we will see more.

remember the story of the coal miners forced to stand behind Romney or lose their jobs?

How anyone can defend these criminals and their armed with your vote politicians is beyond me.
 
Re: There they go again... CEO threatens to fire employees unless they vote right

^ But can someone tell me that SURELY an employee can successfully sue for wrongful/unfair dismissal?

Or is any U.S. court seriously going to say....

"Sorry, Mr. Jones, you have every right to be sacked for being a Democrat voter. Case dismissed."
 
Re: There they go again... CEO threatens to fire employees unless they vote right

Look again. The employers are merely predicting hard times which may impact the employers and then the employees. Not a threat. It may be a violation of the union dictated statute, but the statute is an obvious violation of the First Amendment. If Obama is reelected, millions will lose their jobs.

Read about the horribleness that is arbitration. It's particularly popular in the red states and that is why suing a huge corporation in one of those states is impossible.
 
Re: There they go again... CEO threatens to fire employees unless they vote right

Then what about a 'class action lawsuit' (hope I have the right term - I mean for multiple cases where the same violation/infringement of rights has occurred)

I'm STUNNED that this is actually happening in the United States without a court ruling it completely illegal.

Unbelievable.

Citizens of the USA are not permitted simply to go and vote, as in any civilized country. We must register with a political party (i.e., as a Democrat or a Republican or an Independent) prior to voting. These registration records are available publicly. If you want to know your neighbor's political affiliation, your local county office can tell you.

So far as I know, it is not illegal for an employer to compel an employee to register with a particular party. That probably does vary by jurisdiction, however.

It probably is illegal everywhere for an employer to compel an employee to vote for a particular candidate or party. In my case, however, 100% of every office in the county is held by a Republican, and that has been the case for the last 11 years. That includes the sheriff, the prosecutor, all the judges, and pretty much everyone who would be on a jury. If I wanted to bring a case against my employer for requiring me to vote Republican, I'm not sure who I could complain to. My guess is that the Republican judge would throw the case out.

BTW, voting here is like voting in a communist country. Since we have no Democratic Party, most of the Republican candidates go unchallenged. So, there is only one candidate (the Republican nominee) for every office. :lol: When you win the Republican nomination, you have won the election.
 
This year the Tea Bagging GOP wants both ways voter suppression voter blackmail.
