Florida company (170 employees) threatens permanent layoffs if Biden wins

[Cardinal]

i think he did it in such a sneaky way that he can't be held responsible.

Nice job you've got there. It would be a shame if anything were to happen to it.

 

[Grizzly Adams]

Sure, no evidence at all.

Sarcasm isn't actually evidence, you know.

 

[Chomsky]

Koch industries has this style of management in fact holds employee gatherings pointing out who employees must vote for .......

That, I would not doubt!

 

[bluesmoke]

I could see nothing in what the company president said or did that was illegal. Though I'm not a lawyer, I don't think there's a case. Maybe a lawyer will take it for publicity or for some reason I'm totally unaware of, which is entirely possible, thinks employees have a chance for some kind of damages for which the company and/or president is liable.

 

[beefheart]

You can't just sue whomever you please, you need standing with the courts. As long as I was abiding by Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 they had no standing and couldn't sue.

Hostile work environment + retaliation = $$$

Its a shitty way to run a business, and a cowardly way.

People should remember, that "The Right To Work" and what brought that about.

In the late stages of World War II... the job market was advancing for women, even though this benefitted white women most, it was also post World War II when people came back from War... and wanted those jobs. They wanted "Women, back in an apron in the kitchens, and began to create suburbia with the 'Stepford Wives" model where "white male dominance was highly promoted". It no longer wanted women in the workforce as they were during the war, they also did not want jobs equally open to black men returning from the war, and they certainly did not want black women in the workforce. The system of White Nationalist Promotions did not want WOMEN, (white or black) earning on part with White Men, and they Detested the thought of Black Men, earning on part with White Men.
By the Mid 1960's the agenda of White Nationalism was "Fiercely Attacking Unions" and that attack intensified after the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Big Corporate backed the Union Busting, because it was a sure fire way to keep wages low, block out women and minorities from fair wage class and craft earning.

President of Central Florida company warns of layoffs if Biden wins presidency in letter to employees

Workers at a Central Florida company are wondering about their job futures, and whether that has anything to do with how they vote.

www.wfla.com

Well, the huge Trump supporting owner didn't exactly do it that way. He was way more sneaky. Check this out...





"The head of that company put letters in pay stub envelopes saying if President Trump doesn’t win re-election, they might lose their jobs.

Our NBC affiliate station WESH 2 News spoke to some of the 170 employees as they were heading home from Daniels Manufacturing in Orlando, where a Trump banner is displayed on the flag pole out front.

Some said they were voting for Trump, while others we spoke to said they were upset to receive a letter obtained through a company source from DMC president George Daniels.

The letter warns: “If Trump and the Republicans win (the election), DMC will hopefully be able to continue operating, more or less as it has been operating lately.”

“However, if Biden and the Democrats win, DMC could be forced to begin permanent layoffs beginning in late 2020 and/or early 2021.”


“Everybody has a choice to make their own decision,” employee Stan Smith said.

Smith says the letter, which he considered offensive, is one of the reasons he’s quitting.

Other workers, who told us they were too afraid to be fired to speak with us, said they felt intimidated by the letter."

Another example of Trump buying votes, not to different than the DeJoy scandal. How quickly people forget. DeJoy paid employees bonuses if they donated to republicans. He could be in just a little trouble.

there was a poster on another board (leading up to the 2nd election for Obama) who said he was a business owner and was firing anyone in his company that had an Obama bumper sticker, etc, etc. i'll never forget him. his name was SingleDad.

so i gave it some time and would ever so gradually ask him a question here and there about business (i'm a business owner) and it became blatantly clear that the guy was a worker and not an owner). he didn't know basic stuff. it was all BS.

but this guy in Florida appears to be a real owner of a real business and 170 employees is actually decent. shame on him for attacking his own employee base.

[AConcernedCitizen]

Well that sounds like a genuine threat and should be prosecuted accordingly, were it to occur.

Exactly. What they should say instead is: “If Biden and the Democrats win (the election), your dog will hopefully continue to live, and your house will hopefully not be burned to the ground. However, if Trump and the Republicans win, your dog will likely be shot, and your house will probably be burned to the ground beginning in late 2020 and/or early 2021.”

That's the problem with these liberals. They don't know how to use syntax to avoid responsibility. If it had been a liberal who wanted Ukraine to dig up dirt on a political opponent, they would have just said "Did up dirt on my political rival, or I won't sell you any more Javelins."

It takes a Republican who really understands the Art of the Deal to couch threats in language that will absolve them of all responsibility.

Who is responsible for the hundreds of thousands of babies murdered in abortions (about 63 million since 1973). About 650,000 per year. I don't hear cries from the democrats for those deaths, which are easily stopped.

No baby has ever been murdered.

This site is mostly populated by older white men, a great many who are retired, so the message of this information is basically lost of them. This site does not attract the young people who NEED to learn these things.

The Generation of Baby Boomers who eventually became supporters of the divisiveness have been groomed to do so for generations, and when it come to damaging Unions and destroying the pathways to middle class labor income... They have no idea of the damage they created and caused to Industry Business, American Communities and the Generations that came after them.
All they could think of was to listen to the wealthy who knew, as long as they groomed the working poor and dire poor to promote racism, the easier it would be to keep labor cost low for everyone not in the upper management and executive levels position. The saddest thing, They have learned absolutely NOTHING, they now support a bigoted divisive promoters (Trump) who was raised and trained in how to keep money flowing to the wealthy, and fleece the people and keep them trapped in low wage economic status. A man (Trump) who does not like to pay people nor pay taxes, and he wants nothing of tax money to go to anything that does not directly benefit the well to do and wealthy.
He (Trump) will destroy anything and of and about America, to try and keep the wealthy and well to do white nationalist in control, and will continue to use the poor whites, as foot soldiers , the same as the wealthy Confederate did to try to protect the wealthy slave owners and wealthy industrialist... who wanted to retain slavery and poor whites at a wage level, that was no higher than the expense of housing and feeding a slave.

I share links to posting so that people can share them around when they use other social media sites to ensure that subject material is not wasted on the mostly older set of people who populate this site. The same Types, who refuse to learn and refuse to face the truths and refuse to grow. We know.... many of these who spin and chase drama with their one liner slap-stick, couldn't change if they wanted to, because they buried their minds into the propaganda that is white nationalist in origin and agenda, and blind themselves to the system that keeps them generationally poor for 100's of years. I've seen them on other sites, and they are somewhat like a set of clones, who regurgitate the same propagandized folklore spin, while they seek a drama fix, with their one liner slap stick.

Trump finds it easy to stand before them spewing ignorance and belligerence, and saying nothing but "divisiveness spin to drum up a posse mentality" among those who have made themselves, Cultist Serfs... the tragedy of even great extent, is they don't even know it, and refuse to be awakened out of the Stockholm Syndrome grooming to even begin to awaken.

Shouldn’t the owner be worried since their business is a part of the military contractors problem? Trump doesn’t like that at all.

Perhaps then you can point out the part where any consequences for voting for or against any particular candidate would be met with either positive or negative consequences.

Under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 he has the federal authority to fire any communist/socialist/Democrat leftist freak on the spot. It is the one exception to discriminatory employment practices that the federal government prohibits. It shall never be construed as discriminatory if the individual in question being fired is leftist filth.

The thing about the cycle of time... is many of these Confederates who call themselves Conservative will die out, and the young already know not to buy into nor believe anything that comes out of Republicanism and its Confederate Foot Soldiers of The Wealthy who call themselves Conservatives.

Many young people have had enough of the damages done by these Confederate Foot Soldiers of The Wealthy who call themselves Conservatives.

The young Right Wingers who have been duped and misled by these Confederate Treasonous types who still cling to the madness and savagery of White Nationalism will find they only defeat themselves, still believing the same spill of ignorance that Confederate Soldiers of the past swallowed to protect the wealthy plantation owners and the wealthy industrialist, who considered those soldiers to be nothing more than regiments of Serfs. 150+ yrs later their offspring's are still chasing some delusion based on their skin and feeding it to their offspring's, and the result is the same, they are still as generationally poor as those who rushed through the woods, being nothing more than a pack of pawns trying to protect their Serf Masters and devote themselves to Confederate Styled Serfdom.

With all the information and knowledge gained in society over Century plus decades, for the past 150 yrs... they are still as uneducated and wrapped not only in ignorance, but commit themselves to "willful ignorance", which makes what is "imbeciles".

They are recorded in history as every day passes, as the damaging force of savagery and madness, who have no idea or concept of what American Democracy is.
The thing about the cycle of time... is many of these Confederates who call themselves Conservative will die out, and the young already know not to buy into nor believe anything that comes out of Republicanism and its Confederate Foot Soldiers of The Wealthy who call themselves Conservatives.

The young have seen the system of Republicanism of Confederate Ideology, continue to crash the economy, run up the debt, bastardize our Congress, and run States in the ground. The young who are trapped in the environments of Right Wing Confabulated Folklore, have watched their parents and grandparents wrapped in money worshiping and led by right wing white evangels who still cling to the divisiveness of Confederacy Race Based Ignorance, as they openly accepted being hoodwinked into willful containment, under the gerrymandering concentration camp like communities... spewing nothing but a constant regurgitation of what their Right Wing Serfdom Promoting Propagandist Feed Them.

The Backwards Mentality of what is called Red Zones and Red States, have fought against the natural processions of life, while trying to recreate a past that is long gone. As they still are of the same ignorance that LBJ tried to tell them not to follow.

quote:" President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." end quote

The drive of wealthy and their savages who lust for money, have always engaged in ways to fleece these types, and thrust the nation into massive debt, while the wealthy hoard money, as their main worshiping agenda in Life, while they entice their captured group of Confederate Foot Soldiers of The Wealthy who call themselves Conservatives to pursue savagery by any means, with respect for nothing but their obsessions with skin color divisiveness - as they lust for money, that is dangled before them like a (rotted" carrot on a stick attached by a self retracting rubber band.

Your post had nothing to do with what I said.
Joe Biden's plan has several measures in there that hurt working class people as all democrat plans do.
They never have a plan that actually helps or makes life better for working Americans.

Higher taxes on businesses and employers means less jobs and less pay for employee's more so during this time.
Higher taxes on working people. Biden has vowed to undo the Trump tax cuts which has lowered taxes on a lot of middle income families.
He wants to hurt peoples 401k by getting rid of the tax deductions. I even posted a thread on this.

He wants to raise taxes on everyone while at the time claiming he is for the working American. It is the typical leftist hypocrisy that has been
ousted time and time again.

Stop Lying!!! What Biden said is: Corporate Taxes would increase, but NO Tax increase upon anyone making less than $400,000.00 a year. Most of these Right Winger types probably have not made $400,000 in their entire working life and based on Republicanism Agenda, some never will.



You should learn something about history's Truths !!!!! .... IF YOU KNEW... you'd know that during the era of the highest corporate taxes, not only did Union Wage Progress and Employee's had benefits and employee and public society safety was invested in as a core concerns, companies expanded and grew and built an economy that spread across the nation. Because...

Companies Large and Small had to "justify" their tax write off, by showing their 'reinvestment", their investment in "research and development" and they had to be responsible in managing their growth. The stock ticker did not control the companies, the companies controlled what the stock ticker reflected, based on ACTUAL PRODUCTION AND ACTUAL SALES.

401K was sold to suckers, as a way to delude them to give up their Union sponsored Pension, which started out, with a dollar match, and has become "O" contribution by the company, as Companies now make "RECORD PROFITS" every three months.

The average low wage worker, can't afford to contribute enough if any at all into a 401k... when the wage itself is far below the cost of living.

We know Truth and Knowledgeable Information is not something that Confederate Foot Soldiers of The Wealthy who call themselves Conservatives have ever invested in.
