American Rights At Work is urging people to sign its online petition urging a Federal Elections Commission investigation of Wal-Mart’s efforts to intimidate its workers into voting against Democrat Barack Obama in November. A Wall Street Journal story documented Wal-Mart’s mandatory meetings urging its workers not to vote Democratic. Walmart’s actions may have been illegal. Wal-Mart Watch is urging support for the American Rights At Work petition. Wal-Mart Watch says Walmart has a long history of anti-worker practices and there should be a full investigation of this elections incident by the Federal Election's Commission.
