Wal-Mart Launches Employee Voter Drive
Wal-Mart Stores Inc. yesterday launched a voter registration drive aimed at its 1.3 million U.S. employees in what it describes as the largest such effort by a private company.
The kickoff was held in Iowa, a key battleground in the upcoming midterm elections. Workers at Wal-Mart’s roughly 3,800 other facilities across the country also received registration forms yesterday. Although the world’s largest retailer said it does not want to influence how its workers vote, David Tovar, director of media relations, said the drive was prompted by recent criticism of the company by politicians.

Wal-Mart sent letters to 18,000 Iowa employees in August criticizing Sens. Evan Bayh of Indiana and Joseph R. Biden Jr. of Delaware and Govs. Tom Vilsack of Iowa and Bill Richardson of New Mexico — all Democrats — for participating in a bus tour arranged by Wake Up Wal-Mart, which is funded by the United Food and Commercial Workers International Union. Similar letters were sent to workers in New Hampshire, South Carolina and Nevada.
You may remember the last stop of the “Wake Up Wal-Mart” tour in Seattle from this post.
Follow the link and read the propaganda the UFCWI were spreading and ask yourself “What took Wal-Mart so long?”
Also ask why they didn’t send anything out on either Maria Cantwell or Jim McDermott.
