Nope, he said it, fact. "Mandatory" means forced. The other comments are probably copouts to try and cover their ass but too late. I almost consider it an insult to my intelligence. And regardless, they were forced at the very least to take an unpaid day off for a mandatory political event whether they attended or not - be it in line with their politics or not. This in itself is bad enough. And this wasn't a complaint from one or two workers, but from many, which suggests this company has done this sort of thing in the past. If I worked for a company that told me attending some political rally was mandatory and I wasn't getting paid for it, I'd be pissed off too - I think almost any reasonable person would be.
Sorry, but I'm believing the workers over the profit grubbing CFO and CEO
But this whole thing shouldn't surprise me, corporations by their very nature are highly authoritarian and anti-democratic anyways, plus the fact this company and Romney have ties makes it all the more suspect that this whole thing was conducted in a shady way. Hopefully these workers are smart enough to realize that Romney does not have their best interests in mind (not that Obama really does either), and they don't vote for him.
