Re: Trump's large union crowd at Shell was given the option of not showing up — and not getting paid
So a bribe then.
Nobody was forced to do anything. The article says they were paid strait time if they didn't attend, and overtime if they did:
This story has been updated to clarify the origin of a memo to workers at Shell's site.
---
Shell spokesman Ray Fisher explained that the workers onsite have a 56-hour workweek, with 16 hours of overtime built in. That means those workers who attended Mr. Trump’s speech and showed up for work Friday, meeting the overtime threshold, were being paid at a rate of time and a half, while those who didn’t go to hear the president were being paid the regular rate, despite the fact that both groups did not do work on the site Tuesday.
So a bribe then.
