There was no tying of the job to the propoganda, it was just a list of candidates they felt would best support their interests (as a business) and therefore encourage profitiability. Profitability is one way (no guarantees) of ensuring your job security. I don't see a problem with the employer doing that. If you don't like the politics (I don't) you then have a moral quandry get of the tit or continue to suck and shut up about it.
Unions are an external organization whose purpose is to improve work conditions. In some instances I support them, in some I don't but the short is, again, it's the owners shop. He can control what comes in and out of there within the confines of the law-- meaning no Title VII discrimination. Other than that..... go get a flyer from the local union hall or your email or whatever and compare it to what your employer gave you and figure it out your damn self.
I know there is implied intimidation there but, you know, life is tough. If you manufactured widgets, would you think it in your company's best interest to have your employees in the "down with widgets" PAC voting block?
I beg to differ, this wasn't just them handing out a list saying "Hey guys, we really like these pols and they really like us and our factory" read what I highlighted.. this was misinformation that benefits the company and hurts the worker and propaganda..
If the government insists that someone should be paid $50 per hour in wages and benefits, but that person only creates $30 worth of value, no one will prosper for long…. Anything that undermines the mobility of labor, such as policies that make it more expensive and difficult to change where people are employed, also increases unemployment…. Similar policies that distort the labor market—such as minimum wage laws and mandated benefits—contribute to unemployment.
Hey guys, let's all vote for the pol who will end that pesky little 'minimum wage' doohickey...because ya know, that's why unemployment is so high..
For more than 40 years, Koch Industries has openly and consistently supported the principles of economic freedom and market-based policies. Unfortunately, these values and principled point of view are now being strongly opposed by many politicians (and their media allies) who favor ever-increasing government…

That's utter bullshit.
