Shell Workers Had To Attend Trump Speech To Be Paid, Were Ordered Not To Protest: Rep

[PoliTalker]

It was 1.5 pay, too:

"Smith told Business Insider that on-site workers have a 56-hour workweek, which provides for 16 hours of overtime. As such, workers who didn't attend Trump's speech and took the PTO would not be eligible to receive that overtime"

"An anonymous union leader told the Post-Gazette that one day of work could amount to around $700 in pay, benefits, and a per diem payment for out-of-town workers."

Well NO WONDER the crowd was that big!

And so must have been the expense for the corporation to pay workers so much to do nothing productive. And they get to write this political expenditure off as a pre-tax expense? Looks to me like they probably violated tax law. I don't know. It doesn't look right.

Did you hear his rambling, scary and repetitive speech at his rally? Trump is losing whatever he had left and you ignore it as Trumplestilskins do.

Nope. Didn't watch.

They've done this in the past for celebrities, so, they've been possibly violating tax laws in the past-oh dear....That being said....I can't find an article that says how many Shell empoyees attended this event. You say "no wonder the crowd was so big"...so I'm assuming you did find numbers? Please share

Hello TOP,

You're arguing that the crowd was small? That's surprising.

If Trump was there as an 'educational speaker,' why did he go into campaign speech?

That blows the whole claim from the corporation that this 'was treated as a training day.'

"Shell spokesperson Curtis Smith told Business Insider that "Tuesday was treated as a training (work) day with a guest speaker who happened to be the President."

That's pretty suspicious wording.

If it was a training day it was a training day.

This language: 'treated as?'

That's code.

Everybody knows this is not a training speech.

If it was a training speaker, then that's what it is.

'Treated as' is BS.

That's just so they can have a forced political rally and do it on pre-tax money.

The celebs weren't there to "train or educate" either...I asked if you knew numbers. If you don't just say so

Hello TOP,

I can't find an article that says how many Shell empoyees attended this event.

How diligently did you try? It didn't take much searching...

"About 5,000 workers attended the speech, according to Newsweek magazine. "


Trump’s speech at a Shell plant drew thousands of workers. They were paid overtime to be there.

Are you ready to congratulate me for being able to do what you couldn't?

Shell Workers Had To Attend Trump Speech To Be Paid, Were Ordered Not To Protest: Report

They were instructed: “No yelling, shouting, protesting or anything viewed as resistance,” according to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Workers at a massive new Shell plant in Pennsylvania had to attend a speech by President Donald Trump there earlier this week to be paid — and were ordered not to protest, reported the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

Attendance was not mandatory for thousands of union workers at Royal Dutch Shell’s petrochemical plant north of Pittsburgh, but they had to forfeit pay for the day if they skipped, according to attendance and comportment information obtained by the newspaper.

And signalless continues to lie by omission! Kind of forgot to say that it was overtime pay for attending not regular pay, that their coworkers would receive if they attended. Lying sack of shit.

No, but you did give me an "answer" to my question, which I will check out. Why didn't you just do that in the beginning? I thought we were "good"..you needn't get snippy with me

So how many went?

Only as many as were forced to show up, and keep their mouths shut if they disagreed with his myriad lies.
