Reminds me of Southern politics from the 1940 - 50s. The land owners and factory owners would tell their tenants and workers that they had to vote for their man. They would lie and say they would know who they voted for, should they cast a different vote. so the workers would out of fear vote the way they were told

Just reinforce their power they would arbitrarily fire or throw someone off their land as an example to the others.

Come or you don't get paid is outrageous. You have to sit there and listen to lies whether you want to or not because you need your check and have mouths to feed.

Very American

It's what happens in what's SUPPOSED TO BE a Democracy. When they let a fkng DICTATOR have his way.

Pennsylvania union leaders reveal Shell employees who skipped Trump rally lost hundreds in income

"... the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reported on Friday that the consequences of not attending amounted to far more than just the loss of one day’s wages. Employees who wanted to skip the MAGAfest were technically free to do so, but their choice would cause a loss of as much as $700 later in the week.

Those that decided to sit out the event would have an excused absence, the company said, and would not qualify for overtime pay on Friday.

The company has a 56-hour workweek with 16 hours of overtime. That means those workers who attended Trump’s speech and showed up for work on Friday meeting the overtime threshold are being paid at a rate of time and a half, while those that didn’t go to hear the [asshole] are being paid the regular rate, despite the fact that both groups did not do work on the site on Tuesday.

Those that did attend were required to be present from 7 AM until well after 3 PM with no lunch break allowed, or lunch provided.

Additionally, employees were told that they were expected to “promote good will from the labor unions” by Shell, whatever their personal feelings about the current administration might be.
