Summary
Republican mega-donors Dick and Liz Uihlein, major backers of Trump, surveyed employees at their company, Uline, on their voting preferences for the upcoming U.S. election. Uline is based in swing-state Wisconsin, critical for presidential candidates.
Marketed as “anonymous,” the survey requested employees sign in, raising privacy concerns and skepticism among staff.
Liz Uihlein dismissed concerns, calling the survey “for fun” and voluntary, though legal experts warn that such employer requests can be intimidating and may increase employee anxiety.
Federal and state laws prohibit voter intimidation, with Wisconsin specifically criminalizing vote solicitation.
Did they just give out wrongful termination settlements as severance for all employees?
Man, that really sucks, because I really liked Uline shit.
I worked for them for a year as a contractor. That’s one place I’m glad I don’t work any more. Weird as fuck. The people there were normal but the policies and things felt cultish to me.
Just write in “yo momma”
For fun.
Give them the respect they deserve. Lie to them and vote as you please.
As somebody who has to deal with them every day, Fuck Uline.
The fuck are you purchasing from them when they’re so overpriced? I don’t get it.
I work in the packaging industry, and they have literally every size box, in any quantity, on demand. That being said, our clients purchase everything. We don’t have much say in what vendors they choose.
Fun fact: I throw away (recycle) 2-5 full size Uline catalogs a day, even though it says on every packing slip CUSTOMER REQUESTS NO CATALOGS.
Yeah, politics is…fun. Just another Republican caught in the act thinking everything is a joke. You’re not a comedian, you’re an asshole.
Will these stats end up in a trump lawsuit trying to prove he won?
If the parties were reversed, and it were a Democratic owner pushing the polling, Republican employees would have burned the place down already.
What? And lose the only source of income they can get? That boat, RV, and truck payment ain’t gonna pay itself.
Anonymous. Sign in to take it. “Requested”.
“For fun”
Yea, sure. Hey, you know what else is fun…
Overthrowing liberal capitalism and eating the rich to celebrate :3
Employer BBQs?
Secrets’ in the sauce!
I’m assuming the employer will be the food being served
'Toe salad anyone?
Did someone say foot tacos?
Organizing a union?
And I’m sure it’s just coincidence that everyone who said they were voting for Kamala has to work a double shift tomorrow.
Or fired for “other reasons”…
Guillotines and gallows.
Gulags?
Union drives?
I fucking hate these mother fuckers. They fund Daren Bailey and Bruce Rauner in Illinois. They were also behind the case where a downstate judge threatened to have JB Pritzker arrested for his Covid emergency orders and mask mandates. I will not be upset when they pass away.
Their kids are carrying on making the world worse :(
They also fund a ton of shit in Ohio. Fuck these people. They are truly awful. The world would be better without them in it.
I hope the state goes after them.
The current DA is pretty fucking liberal as far as DAs go.
And they are a big reason why politics in Wisconsin are so stacked in favor of Republicans. They do a lot of business here and her husband is heir to the Schlitz beer fortune. They fund a lot of the Republican state representatives campaigns.
They are also the main reason why Wisconsin is still a prohibition state in regards to marijuana. Supposedly good Christians don’t want cannabis competing with their much more destructive and addictive product.
The exact type of people Jesus was talking about in his eye of the needle parable
beer heir…vs marijuana…always follow the money
No such issue here in Indiana. Just stupid right-wing Christian bullshit.
We’re surrounded on three sides by states making all of Indiana’s potential tax money from cannabis sales.
I guess republicans don’t care about those laws since Orange Jesus will just pardon them, or so they hope. They believe they are on a just crusade… disgusting.
That, and they know none of them will see effective penalties for voter intimidation and coercion. Maybe a fine. Maybe a year in jail. Maybe both.
In a just world, these donors would get a year for every employee who took the survey. Just to serve as a deterrent to other multi-millionaire bosses. More likely they’ll weasel out of anything but lawyers fees and a statement on their website.
They’re banking on SCOTUS continuing to gut regulatory agencies from having the authority to oversee corporations.
They want their fiefdoms.
I weep for you Americans.
Oh boy, ACLU, sue their ass!
