the presidency was"costing me a fortune" he estimated to be between $3 and $5 billion. Trump said he was"going to speak to some of your union leaders to say, 'I hope you’re going to support Trump.' Okay?"
The warehouse Trump spoke in was packed with workers in yellow and orange vests who had been bussed in from part of the massive construction site. Two workers, who declined to speak on the record, told NBC News they were missing their lunch break to attend and had packed snacks in their pockets because they weren’t allowed to bring in food.
The event went past 3 p.m., when many of the workers' regular shift ended — causing workers to worry they wouldn’t get paid for the extra time they spent holding in the warehouse. Once Trump had finished speaking the workers were still being held and were letting out boos and angry shouts because they weren’t being let out. At 3:30 p.m., a plant employee tried to calm the crowd and let them know they would be getting paid for the time they were still there.
Hope they stayed home !
So you play this Headline like it’s new the workers were given the day off with pay if they showed up to the Trump rally. They were not obligated to show up to the Trump rally it was an incentive to show up with overtime pay
Again? Posted this days ago.
ABC, will you report when the Dems routinely pay union workers to attend? Right, we’ll see.
This is about the 23rd time you’ve posted this in a week.
RUSSIA, RACISM, RECESSION! The 3 Narratives Fake Media pushing on Weak Minded People Sheep!
Because it was on the work site, during working hours. Duh.
So you think we have a 'free press' eh? FAKEMEDIA Check out who owns who, and who owns what you think.......
The Enquirer has more integrity than NBC News
Fake news
Lol...Trump is going to win again no matter how big your tantrum.
Fake news. We were offered the day off or to come to work and get full pay. It only lasted 2 hours and I got paid for 8. It was fun too. How they paint trump is not how trump is. It is a fake rage media. It’s sad
Hope lawsuits are being filed against the Shell CEO.
I don't know if this is true or not, but... When I worked at a certain company & ppl came to visit & give speeches (talk to us) it was on the clock. If you did t want to hear them, you clocked out. I would suspect it is that way everywhere. Do what they tell you or go home.
Under the Democrat Gov. the Penn. petrochemical workers would not have a job.
Nonsense
Why is your reporting always behind by days?
No more She’ll for me ,
And another worker said 'I don't care if I lose my pay. I have pay because of Trump. So, I'm going to support him'.
This is called fascism.
That is an injustice done to workers if that happens.
Makes you wonder if Donald Trump‘s campaign manager called that CEO to tell that to their workers.
You are an Enemy of The People.
realDonaldTrump I had blackmailed those union workers and forces them to attend my speech and get full and extra salary paid. Those who don't attend to my speech will lose paid or don't get paid at all.
Did the management ALSO promise to dock more pay if they didn't take photos & video of the POTUS....😕 Just like when GutterMedia said people were being paid to attend his Huge Trump Rallies...right? GutterMediaEnemyOfThePeople
Pretty sad. I guess the workers won’t fight back in fear of retaliation. That’s the down side of unions.
And I can give examples of Obozo's speech crap too. fakenews EnemyOfThePeople
Those are tactics of long gone by communist dictators of Eastern Europe. 🤔
Who cares!
The few that showed up for Trump’s inauguration were given the same choice
They still got paid if they stayed home !!!!!! But, if they went, they would get overtime. I hope everyone sees how propaganda media twists the stories for a narrative. MEDIA CAN NO LONGER BE TRUSTED.
They failed to tell tou they have these meetings once a month and different speakers and same rules apply.
Isn't this kinda old news? With both Shell and the union leaders are responsible for the conditions (that is, rotten corporation joining forces with rotten union leaders for profit). Also, considering the plant's announcement was made in 2012, why didn't they invite Obama?
Where is this story? via MailOnline
Is USA is now under Trump's authoritarian regime?
HUH! You're kidding right!?
Wow! Is that how democracy works nowadays? Shame on that Pennsylvania petrochemical plant. Disgraceful behaviour.
That's the only way Donald can get people to attend his joke events.
mitchellreports I guess everyone is forced to go to his rallies? Dumb Dumb. We Will Vote! Keep building the base.
gerraldellis Their union is terrible.
mitchellreports Wow, you know your donors are nervous about your re-election chances when they pull stunts like this. realDonaldTrump is in trouble.
And why? Because their rich corporate boss owed Donald Trump for the GOPTaxScam, paid back by forcing workers to be photo props for his campaign. That's the kind of fake ass 'populist' Trump is.
Fake News If they went home instead of going to realDonaldTrump speech, workers would lose extra OVERTIME pay. NOT WEEKLY PAY. They were offered extra pay to go and sit and listen to a political speech WITHOUT WORKING. NBC is absolutely incapable of telling the truth. Ever.
Sure I’ll listen to your speech... Pay Me
Hitler would be proud.
Well, you don’t get paid to stay home
Did Trump outsource payroll to Soros on this one?
which is very very illegal.
How many time this week are the agenda driven hacks from NBC going to tweet this story out this week... your nothing more then a propaganda wing of the Democratic Party!!!
How bad is it when you are forced to listen to the president?
Actually that's a lie. They were told of they go to the rally they would get paid for it.
Well those workers did not seem unhappy to be there! You idiots boycott everything else if those workers were that unhappy to attend they would have taken the pay loss! Nice try though trying to spin the great response President Trump received! Or was cheering extra pay?
Trump pays for his crowds.
Choices are good to have.
These workers dont have much of an union!
Show us the memo that states that put up or shut up
only in America
Is it not so that Emperor Trump, when asked exactly when it was that America was Great, picks that time when slaves & indentured servants knew their place & did as they were told? Or else.
Where’s the evidence?
You do your best to make it look like realDonaldTrump is a problem, but all of those cell phones in the air trying to record Trump, seems to me that these people were happy to be there. Seems like all of you news teams are going straight to the dogs. Real news please. You suck!
Nothing new here. Trump paying for supporters. For friends. For sex.
What a guy... not!
Why are they clogging up my Twitter feed with news that's over a week old?
this happened routinely with obama, but I guess it wasn't news then huh
I'm sure showing up to a political carnival act was not in their job description. This was presidential extortion. The union should step in to fight this. If the department of labor still has integrity, they should step in too..
But who gave the order to do that? From company boss or the Trump government?
This news is so late it’s called olds
You must be kidding ?
Ya because the only way to get people to show up for his rally is to blackmail them. Priceless.
Oh my gosh! I mean really🤔
Lol. Nbc news. What a joke.
Freedom of choice: go in compliance or lose your pay. Tre45on
I would have gone and made sure I got interviewed by one of the camera crews in attendance. THINK FLANNEL SHIRT GUY!
I would have stood close enough so he could hear me cough throughout his entire rant.
disgusting.
IF the US Department of Labor wasn't a Republican arm of a mentally deficient president it would be investigated, but since Trump in a sense 'owns' them, nothing will happen. Unfair, fascist and illegal.
What's it like to be known as FAKE NEWS and the enemy of the people?
I’d have taken the hit on my paycheck. I KNOW, I KNOW! Not everyone can afford to do that and believe me, neither could I. But I’ll be damned if I’m gonna stand there and pretend to like the son of a bitch and let him think he has my support.
fake news ? 😗
No said the would be paid if they went or worked
What the hell was this? Why did the Union not advocate for their members ?
Fake news
migmodig Have someone heard of N Korea?🤔
Shell: Hey guys the plamt is shut down for the day for the Presidents visit. You can come in or take a un paid day off. Employees: cool The media: OMG look Trump is forcing people to come see him. 😂😂😂
o but he's the 'President of the people'.... when are you going to wake up America ? WAKE UP AMERICA! WAKE UP !!!!!!!!
Now that's what you call a captive audience.
Now that's messed up. Trump is extremely CORRUPT, he has to be giving these companies executive favors in exchange for votes and fascist like rallys..?!*! He is immune as we witnessed. Trump is above the law now. And it's so messed up !!!!
So you don’t go to work, you don’t get paid, am I missing something?
So Trump can only get an audience if they are paid.
Im sure PA is feelin all kinds of NOT MAGA.. Let's hope they turn out to vote.
Forcing employees to pretend to respect a president they obviously have no respect for is not a good look for 2020. When they go into the voting booth, they'll remember how oppressive it felt to be coerced into paying homage to someone they deplore & they will vote accordingly.
I would sue.
Not legal!
Weak ass union, would never happen in my shop teamsters
So there was going to be no production that day but if they chose to come in they’ll be paid a days pay.😩
I would have stayed home
Just the beginning. Soon many American jobs will require a loyalty pledge to Trump or you won't be hired. It's facisim, folks. The same old stuff we've seen throughout history.
How is this even legal
This is America attend a rally and cheer for a candidate your Employer likes or suffer the consequences is this what the Founding Fathers wanted.
How do the unions allow Shell to get away this kind of nonsense?
NBC STOP DOING THE WORK FOR THE DNC
Captive audience
At least they can’t still vote for who they want! Certainly,this didn’t help trumps cause!
They didn’t look disappointed
they do not even know that they are losing more than a few dollars of overtime pay by supporting a racist,bigot,liar of a scoundrel ,,where is the tar & feathers,,i will furnish the rail/.
BoycottShell
MAGA 😂
Not shocked this is GOP
Has it come to that?
How many of those union workers were forced to join the union.
Only unions have such stuff like this! No wonder all their projects come WAY OVER budget and hurt our competitiveness!
jsbishop1 No wonder so many people just tune out and drop out of life. To be used as,a pawn by the very people that are meant to help them.
jsbishop1 The unions are Trumps stooges.
Hahahahaha hahahahahaha realDonaldTrump WhiteHouse WhiteTrashSupremacists
Wow, is that even legal?
WALK AWAY FROM BIG UNIONS! TEACHERS NEED TO ALSO🌞
Bullshit I'm union and that's big no no. Someone is lying.
That’s correct: They were told “If you don’t show up at work, we won’t pay you.” Monsters [On the plus side, the company DID provide grief counselors for those employees struggling to deal with the tragedy of earning no money while sitting at home in their underwear.]
That’s one way to make them show up.
Everything about these rallies is smoke and mirrors. Coercion to fill seats. Pathetic.
Captive audience, disgusting.
They were force to go , Ashamed , now what are they force to vote for them.
Shell Forced Fluffing GrabYourWallet
Shell executives need to take responsibility for using pressure tactics towards their workers. Also the union reps need to look deeply into their hearts for keeping silent.
This would not be the first time made up a story to embarrass the President of the United States. You can't take anything they write at 'face value'.
So Republicans, who is it that’s being paid to be at rallies?
Trump and his acolytes are buying crowds for his rallies.
Lol! I’m sure the people at the sold out stadiums in every state he visits, were given the same offer. MSM is a joke!
Sure I’ll go, pay me! Give OT cause I went, no problem. Never voting for him though 😜
Bull shit! With all the people there how would they know who was there?Fake News
realDonaldTrump is a traitor and a danger to America. Impeach the Traitor now!
Not a fair choice!!!
'All $$$ Ain't Good Money'
So is this what you would call, paid supporters?
Wtf
Sad that Lying Don has to coerce people to come to his rallies.
“Such tremendous crowds....” - Cult45
Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen?
Nbc ....now the rest of the story. If he was getting paid for the day then he is working for the company.
Not only that, they were forced to work illegally without breaks or lunch.
I would have lost money too. No thank you
And every one who writes for would probably lose their jobs if they said one nice word about our President.
If you were going to pay me to stand around and listen to this guy, sure I would do it. That's the ONLY way though....you would have to pay me!
How many election laws were violated at tRUmp's Pittsburgh by the Trump2020 campaign?
Fake news. Again. 🙄
Why I am not surprised
That’s the unions for you!
hardball realDonaldTrump So how many hourly Union Workers can afford to lose a day’s pay? They needed to be paid, so they showed up.
THEY HAVE COME DOWN TO - 'BLACKMAILING'.…..😂😂😂😂
hardball Those that didn’t attend would have lost $700 or more in benefits and wages. They also were forbidden from being negative in anyway. First Amendment rights taken by Shell and the President. I’m notsupporting Shell gas stations anymore.boycottShell
lying if they were telling the truth they would have employees on tv to interview
janis08868043 What is the name of the Shell employee that ordered this?
Isn’t this a violation of campaign finance laws?
hardball Are you serious?
This is not right ..
hardball What kind of union would allow that?. This doesn’t even sound legal. How come nobody’s addressing this Did anti-Trump people actually comply and attend the rally Pathetic!!!
joeydutton1 That’s absolute BS...and I would have stayed home...Called in sick
It's a work day. Show up
This is pure nonsense It's time for Trump to get out of office
hardball Wow...... won't be buying gas from Shell anymore
Exactly why businesses should not get involved in politics. Most companies have a policy against harassment. Really sad!
So they were given a choice, and they chose to go? Oh the humanity! It must’ve been so bad to not be working hard, and still get paid 😝 Thank you sooooo much for yet another hard hitting, impartial and fair, investigative journalism piece. You never fail to disappoint
No tweets against Shell?
So much for union representation ,what’s up with that
hardball I would gladly go without a days pay than show false support to him
hardball Bullshit
hardball Sounds more like union control of workers fostered upon them by DJT and his administration much like dictators do. 😱🤭
This campaign contributions seem over a barrel
uncle04jim1 As always, everything for this president is staged, his entire life has been full of lies, all about himself
hardball Its fascism. Call it that NBC.
OMG THEY EXTORTED TH-no they didn't. Deadass If you chose not to show up for work AND not use PTO on your own then you DONT GET PAID. End of story. Just cause trump showed up dosen't change that. When shell starts saying 'show up for trump or you're fired' then you got a story.
Strange union behavior. 1. They show up. 2. They say almost nothing.
A lot of companies do that to their workers make them go to a meeting oh I'm sorry this is Trump we better criticize
Research before you believe this lie designed to discredit the President. Workers were paid whether they went to the rally or work. They had to scan in to verify attendance and were excused from work. Those who chose to not attend and work were only paid regular pay not overtime.
The working Man doesn't need this s***.
Any job you choose to stay home will result in losing pay. Duh
Your news is desperate and pathetic!
hardball Paid participants? Is this a violation of campaign finance?
So they had to show up to work and get paid not stay home and get paid. I don't see the issue.
Shell union is weak . Shameful example of bending to the will of the owners. Stop it. What else do you cave into at Shell's orders?
Good, that’s how it should be
What are National Labor Union opinions on this?!
hardball What a democracy!
God save Great America
Why is so hard to understand the company has the right to shut the plant down. There was no work at the plant. You could take a vacation day. Or attend. The unions signed off on this.
Would have missed a day of pay rather than sit iand listen to his bull!!. Not fake, multiple fronts confirming . He is a pathetic joke
hardball This was clearly a “view-for-pay” event. Shell forces allegiance to realDonaldTrump, a criminal & corrupt non-human. Holding workers hostage is criminal. Punishing by non-payment should be an ethical violation, and Shell should pay huge fines for this hostagetaking.
That's some facist shit right there
THATS BLACKMALE ! CHARGES NEED BE FILED
Disgusting. No wonder I don’t buy Shell gasoline. Over priced gas and a shitty treatment of employees. 🤮
hardball That explains why the workers standing behind him didn’t look that happy and didn’t laugh or applaud during the speech. They were probably thinking why are we here listening to a rally speech.
CNN foxnewsalert seanhannity Proves the republicans have to pay people to come to lumpy’s rallies to cheer for him 😂 no wonder nobody came to his inauguration
Why? Is he Hitler or Mussolini?
Sad when we see it’s NBC news and realize it should be in the National Enquirer section. Russia
hardball More fake news
hardball Boycott Shell. We are not a communist country.
Shell should be ashamed. They put their tax cuts in front of their employees. Forced loyalty is not real loyalty.
Exact same thing happened under Obama etc.... It's not uncommon at all.. Employees could take PTO if they chose.
Given a choice. Standing around getting paid or go home. WTH. Typical union day at work. Sounds like something Boeing would do.
FakeNews They could have taken the day off, paid. Dumbasses
I would have stayed home, then called an attorney who specializes in Labor Laws. It can’t be legal to force one’s political opinions down employees throat
Nah, unions are now for Trump because Dems, who used to be the party of labor, exposed who they really work for.
it's worse than what you're reporting, but it's a start -- it's really part of Trump's war on workers, just as he uses them as props for his campaign
So were those same workers also given the option of NOT joining the union?
newtGingrich
BonnieSchumm Nowadays leaders put up conditions to be vested into power then after they mess up and don’t even live to their words. Lord have mercy on us all.
How Fascist. How is losing pay a ‘fair’ choice?
And the Unions allow this? Unfucking believable, 'it's what Shell wanted' said Mr. Broadbent as he bentover and grabbed his ankles!
or stay at work and receive their pay, stop with the BS.
so ridiculous
It's the only way trump gets a crowd they were paid to attend
This is all you got? You know good and well that more people go to his rallies the anyone but you refuse to cover them.
fake news
Boycott Shell
Those posting should first read the article. Trump didn’t tell them show up or no pay. All employees were paid for the day, but those who stayed past their normal work hours were given overtime.
FakePresident RealDisgrace
Today’s society of corrupted corporate America. This isn’t the only company using these tactics to control people to benefit there bottom line and remove a employee’s freedom to make choices.
Dictator style
And did you research any of Obama's visits?
Fuck them. They voted for Trump. They’re paying for it.
The article says they do this several times a year with different speakers. Many of those being democrats
I still want to see the media interview the weak union leaders!
Only if they didnt go to work....
Oh bullshit.
This Union does this all the time. But because it's the President of the United States this time it's wrong🤔🤔🤔 come on NBC open your eyes,👀🕵️👁️👁️🗨️🕵️♀️. Report truth the whole truth.
this whole issue stinks. Plastic, like we are choking on it. Natural gas, like we are heating the planet already. Trump and Shell corruption from the top down to manipulate optics and try to win PA. Rotten from top to bottom.
Sad!
PropagandaAlert for IndoctrinatedNation “As with any workweek, if someone chooses to take [paid time off] they are not eligible to receive the maximum overtime available,” he continued. DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica Trump2020
Where’s the rest of the story. They were paid overtime pay if they attended. Those not attending just got their regular pay for the week.
Wonder if they will give bonuses for voting for Trump. Unbelievably disgusting.
That's bullshit. Seriously why lie when everyone who was there knows what your saying is a lie
Does the word coursion seem appropriate?
This crosses so many lines! Your Employer trying to use the Employees as Propaganda! Won't pay you unless you attend a Political Rally.....I Smell Law Suits. Where's the Union or Human Resources? Shell this is disgusting, executive s/be Fired. NAACP Shell_US RepKatiePorter
I don't believe it. What's the whole story? You obviously spin stuff to make realDonaldTrump and his supporters look bad. I'll guarantee you're leaving something out or making something up.
Just goes to show how popular you really are, when people have to be FORCED to attend your speeches. You'd think they'd want to go. I mean, it would be worth it just to laugh at all his fuckups alone 😁😂🤣🤪
Waiting for Trump to tweet about what a huge turnout there was for him, standing room only and thousands queuing outside. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣BULLSHIT.
That was illegal. What happened to their union reps? This is an erosion of labor relations in a landslide. 😡
NBC & comcast Either A). Start reporting objective news coverage or B). Sell your operation to someone who will. You are a left leaning democrat propaganda outlet and it’s harming our country
I would have stayed home.
Wow NBC Fake News just admitted Trump is good for the Economy Every one WINS at a Trump Rally The NBC is the ENEMY within we have to TAKE Out
Trump said he loves trucks and cranes.
Quid pro quo. Shell shareholders and management are allowed to pollute more in return for votes.
U guys at nbc just can’t help ur fake news propaganda. sad
HEY President TRUMP Read this !! Fake NEWS Media REPORT this
FAKE NEWS Media !!
Well i wont be using there gas stations
My husband was pressured to donate money to a particular person’s presidential campaign. Luckily, we supported the candidate. Happens all the time.
Very misleading ...'The day “was treated as a training (work) day with a guest speaker who happened to be the president,” Fisher said, adding the company does 'these several times a year with various speakers.' Curious...how many employees missed previous speeches
Guys....its like 3 days later. No new news?
These speaker events are held a couple times a year and the same applies.... truly the enemy
Union workers used as human props to boost crowd size. Don the Con needs PA real bad, especially if Kremlin doesn't help this time. It's all about optics for the Press. Hopefully it backfires and they all vote BlueWave2020.
Push that half truth that is fake news way today.
The dictator strikes again !!!
Are you injured from the twisting you had to do for this poorly written headline? Simplified: UNION WORKERS FORCED TO ATTEND TRUMP RALLY IN ORDER TO GET PAID.
So you think Trump is the problem while getting all your news from NBC? Critical think people.
Amazing why Trump is allowed to get away with this. Shows once again that he is not 'loved' by the people as he claims. He is now buying their affection. His whole presidency has been a sham.
CitizensFedUp Capitulation with the lure of extra $$$. Where have we seen this before?
Theft
Laws
More Fake News from the MSM propaganda machine!
Hopefully that action lost trump those voters plus their families.
There is a labor contract specifying what jurisdiction the workers have and don't. I very much doubt that a political meeting assistance is required or pay docked. Reads like poor gathering facts.. or fake news at the very least
This can’t be true.
Furlough for some
So many times they have blamed Iran for the same thing. I can understand a plant doing this, but how do you justify millions of people coming out in support of the Iranian government? Surly the Iranian government is not using the pay games with everyone?
WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE COMPANY
And?
This another bullshit story pushed by the Democratic controlled media . They will run a negative story about trump every day until the election. If they have to they will make up a fake story to accomplish this. The bias and unethical behavior makes them the enemy of the people
In essence they were paid to show up to a political rally to hear trump lie about how the plant which was conceived, planned and executed during the Obama administration was trump’s accomplishment. Trump the immoral narcissist believes that his followers will believe anything.
When the boss gives you an assignment, you do it whether you agree or not.
DISGUSTING!!! 😡😠🤬
Extortion.
Or stay home, get paid and not get overtime* bias
PROPAGANDA Right before out eyes. This is what dictators and authoritarians do.
Vladimir Trump
FAKESUPPORT
Paid to MAGA. That's the American dream!!
What a stupid question.....now a days you hear every word of it for the following week..especially if the press can turn it around
This is HORRIBLE realDonaldTrump You are a continuous liar 🤥 wjich is why you are losing in ALL POLLS 👏🏼. ReplaceRepublicansNow.
The way my morals are set up, I would’ve taken the pay loss. I’d rather lose money than listen to his 🗑
What?! That’s ridiculous! How is that ethical, let alone legal?
When people are making that much money it doesn't really matter one way or the other.
Such BS! Use your head folks. If your on the clock u will be paid if ur NOT on the clock well u know ummm then u WONT be paid. 🤦♂️
What do you expect? They are hourly workers
This has to be unconstitutional. Emoluments clause at least...
I would have lost pay. No way would I get bullied into going to that shit. Shame on them for that.
It would have hurt me, but I would have taken the day off without pay. And can an employer be allowed to do that legally?
Most people want the day off. TRUST ME. They went for Trump. Pay was a bonus
How can they get away with that BS?
Welcome to FascismForTrump
Being in a Union is like saying hey I dont care that I'm a slave that's told when to piss when I can work and who to vote for! And like this far left Union, they'll steal your pay. This is illegal yet nobody will do anything about it. DEMOCRATS ARE THE PROBLEM
Easy choice...pick the latter!
Hell you're getting paid not to work, I don't care if you like Trump or not, getting paid to listen to an hour speech, I'm all in.
I see by the show of their hands how it must have frustrated them.😆😅😂🤣Your Fake News is showing again!
I would like to know how many defied the bribe and did not attend.
bullshit
Trump should do like his friend Epstein
So trump suporters are paid to cheer him, WOW!!
Sure!
That’s A Damn Shame,How Old Are You 12yrs Old Grow Up,Are You Still Playing With Marble,Little Boy!!!
Blackmailed into attending. These are the kind of people Trump works with & encourages. Too bad they didn’t all have rotten tomatoes available. They could have expressed their opinion to their bosses & Donald.🤪 I hope every one of the workers remembers this come Election Day.
Trump has been a politician for 3 years! Trump “supporters” need to stop saying he’s not a politician. He’s in office. And he has not done anything in 3 years to fix this country except run his mouth. He’s all talk and we deserve better DONALD TRUMP IS BAD FOR AMERICA
That is so corrupt and I would hope illegal. How do they get away with that? What happened to trump’s racist magats?20,000 - 30,000 always showed up at his rallies, didn’t they?
Sounds like a great offer to me !! I would LOVE to go !
Fascists do that
Um.... isn't that against the law?
Whoever made that demand in mgt should be fired.
Trump's Rallies Are Attended By Mostly People Being Paid To Be There, Just Ask The Actors Guild How Many Receipts Have Been Turned In To The FEC As Campaign Spending On Actors. 😂😂😂😂
That's An FEC Violation, 1st Amendment Violation, Also A Violation Of A 1943 Supreme Court Ruling. 'You Can't Be Forced To Partake In Religious Or Political Rituals.' Shell Is Facing At Least 3 Criminal Investigations On This Issue. InvestigateShell
Unfair
Their real choice is how they vote in 2020.
MSNBC is there a follow up to this story, because we’ve heard about this days ago
Another reason we need to support workers from companies who use threats.. Trump is trying to curb workers rights and remove their chance for recourse
You know, I kind of wonder why there were so many people there. Abhorrent, abominable, reprehensible... Doesn't even begin to describe this piece of flesh. VoteBlueToEndThisNightmare
Where’s the FEC? Campaign finance problem maybe?
If this is legal, could companies declare bonuses for employees who vote for Trump
Let’s all close our eyes and imagine the response from the GOP if Obama, as President, had held a campaign event at a business and then forced employees to attend it or lose some of their pay. They would still be bitchin’ about it today!!
Because they closed the plant? I don’t see the problem here.... nothing to see people just another political hit piece.
Chance that this turns out to be FakeNews: 💯%
I am sure the media will say this was Trumps fault if it is even true.😡😡😡
That seems illegal.
They were allowed an excused absence or to not get overtime pay, because, ironically, they didn’t work overtime. 😂 And this is why you are fake News because you spin 💩.
The Royal-DUTCH Shell Company permitted this type of WAGE BLACKMAIL ?! This is a foreign entity with subsidiaries on US soil promoting Trumpism in a UNION SHOP ?! WOW ? What's next ? Secret conversations with the Russian & North Korea DICTATOR$.
Just like Tmp to hold them hostages, either come, be quiet or loose a days pay. He truly worries about the welfare of American Workers!
Fake news. The Trump appearance was considered a training day with a guest speaker. This happens regularly. Workers are paid overtime to attend as the intent is to foster communication. All anyone missed by not staying for Trump’s appearance was the overtime pay.
Looks like they all wanted to take his picture.
They not voting for him now trumpstayaway our children don't need to see the violence or Racism his kid is not there seeing his father spew hate neither do ours
What do you think they did, oh I don't know
So wrong. MakeAmericaTrumpFree
Wow forced to be somewhere they really did not want to be.. just Wow
I would have stayed home on principle alone.
No longer a Shell customer. Emailed 4 top executives!
If they hated him that much they would have stayed home.
I've never heard of a conservative/Republican union.
Looked like they were having a good time. So....
Why couldn’t they show up for work and, ya know, work?
That's f'd up but I'd stay home
CNN foxnewsalert seanhannity Proves the republicans have to pay people to come to lumpy’s rallies to cheer for him 😂 no wonder nobody came to his inauguration
'Cake or death?' 'Cake please.'
U have him elected and now complain a lot! Pity!why not just impeach him or vote him out of office?
Who cares
Sounds of a mother Russia CCCP .....
Bullshit
This is unethical, immoral and has to be illegal by the employer !
Just the same asNorth Korea, China, and Russia. We must all Heil to the Supreme Leader!
Week old news, stop the freaking hate of trump and tell us the WORLD NEWS.
This has to be illegal.
Blackmail. Unfair labor practices.
What? They wasn’t excited to go voluntarily!?
Oligarchy - Totalitarianism
Now we can change this country name to: The United States of Venezuela.
Boycott Shell!
Definition of slave labor!
Won't see this on FoxNews
I rather lose a day’s pay than be forced to attend a political event during work hours. I can only imagine employers forcing their employees to attend religious events too 🙄
The art of a deal huh ?
That’s the reason why people are coming ..... unbelievable
So disingenuous but not surprising. Garbage network
Fake News 🤬
The wages for that day should be counted as a campaign contribution by the company.
Fascinating. What a left slant. Irrespective of position, did you consider those who were there because they wanted to be? How biased to whine “they don’t get paid if they stay home”. It’s called work for a reason. You whine when people have it and when they don’t. Hypocrites.
We, the PEOPLE. WE ARE IN THIS TOGETHER! THIS MOVEMENT HAS NO SKIN COLOR. Attempts to label all those who challenge [their] narrative as 'racists' 'white supremacists' will fail.
Pretty crappy choice.
Or take a day with pay. Why would you leave that out? Oh yeah Fake News. Inspired by political agenda. Gfy
O.T., pay as I heard it.
Sure, and Trump is a Russian Agent and Adam Schiff has the proof.
NBC has got to go!!! They are getting so bad now with the real news reporting. Ban NBC NOW
This is proven fake!!!!!
Yes thier job required them to show up to get paid. If they didnt want to go it was excused. It was treated as a training day and attendance was mandatory to get paid. It's called working for a living.
Isn't that tactic a controlling Maneuver up to ' coerced ' of employees from employer to penalize them. ' I smell an entrapment of choice'!
Yeah Right!
For the first time in history, the white house had become a Cuckoo's Nest.
Wow 😮.
Snoozefest
Wow...I remember when the Democrats gave teachers that same option about Hillary...
wcsek American worker give up their rights the minute they step into their workplace, apparently.
Is this LEGAL?
That is a lie
Trump never demanded the workers show. It was the company.
They weren't going to lose their weekly pay, they were not going to get the over time if they didn't go. There is a difference and your reporting sucks!
More Fake News from the MSM propaganda wing!
How can that possibly be legal?
and no union employees are ever told they have to go to Democrat rallies etc.... Nah... never... right?... Hey how about a headline on Harris and Warren's Ferguson lie... that would be unique ... but the again...NBC is fake news....
They can read it or listen to it on the news. This is more brash stupidy of this so-called president.
It’s true, they were FORCE to attend EmptySeatMAGATour
Damn disgusting. Damn disgusting!!!
You news media people are ridiculous with some of the bull you come up with !!
Amy3121965 it's like everything every does or did. its a fraud.

that is not right. can't force people with pay or lose pay for a non-employment function with a political function. i would sue .
More FAKE leftist news!!
Lie
DJT is gone irrelevant, predictable, trite. He hardly raises a pulse in anybody as most are moving on, reclaiming their own emotions. The shtick is tiresome, hackneyed, predictable. Malignant narcissist's kryptonite is your indifference, laughter and ridicule.
steviemcbride Another step to totalitarian rule
America this is Dumb Donald Trump at his best, making American workers work past their schedule for free, or missing out on pay to not be bothered with Trump.
BoycottShell
I believe I would have taken a sick day
It’s called bribery EmptySeatMAGATour realDonaldTrump 🤣🤣🤣
So? If you support unions and oppose right-to-work laws, then you're acknowledging that you think unions should have full control over employees.
That is shameless 😦
Putinistic...
They need to get their union leaders involved!!! Come on man!!
Awesome !!
Pay to stay
Because that was their job for the day
if the 2020 elections are fair, and are on the up-and-up with no shenanigans, this MF should lose in a landslide
How very North Korea-esque.
This is something Vladimir Putin and KJU would do.
