Should employees feel like their jobs are threatened if they vote for Obama?

There is a wave of corporate intimidation going on across the country, where CEOs are telling their employees not to vote for President Obama or other Democrats.

Take this example from Milwaukee today:

Mike White, the chairman and owner of Rite-Hite, a major Milwaukee manufacturer of industrial equipment, told employees in an email this week that all employees “should understand the personal consequences to them of having our tax rates increase dramatically if President Obama is re-elected, forcing taxpayers to fund President Obama’s future deficits and social programs (including Obamacare), which require bigger government.”

The email stunned some employees. One employee said he felt threatened by the email. “It’s a good company, but for this to come out, it’s absurd,” the employee said.

Needless to say, employers should not be intimidating their employees or unfairly making them feel like they will face repercussions in the workplace if they vote the way they want.
