Wal-Mart Denies Pressuring Workers to Vote Against Democrats
By Michelle Sherwood
Wal-Mart is denying a report that it pressured employees to vote against democrats in November because of worries—that a bill the party supports—would make it easier for workers to unionize. The measure would allow labor organizations to unionize workplaces without secret ballot elections—Obama co-sponsored it; Mccain opposed it.
A Wall Street Journal report says the Bentonville-based company held mandatory meetings with store managers to warn them about the bill. A Wal-Mart spokesman said the company did discuss the bill with employees and sees it as a negative but was not advocating that workers vote against backers of the bill.
