Wal-Mart tells employees to vote GOP
Always low-price Wal-Mart is also always low wage, low benefits and low ethics when it comes to its workers, here and abroad.The company that insiders claim encouraged employees to seek taxpayer-funded health care for the poor now is accused of encouraging its store managers and department supervisors to vote Republican in November.If those employees do so, they’d be committing electoral hara-kiri. It is hard to fathom an act more inimical to their economic interests.According to The Wall Street Journal, Wal-Mart made it clear in mandatory meetings around the country that a Democrat victory would be a disaster for its anti-union business model.The focus of the meetings was legislation known as the Employee Free Choice Act, which would allow employees to unionize without a formal union election if more than 50 percent sign certification cards.
