A McDonald’s franchisee in Ohio is finding out it is a violation of the law to try and persuade workers on the way to vote based on the fear of losing a job or income.
Paul Siegfried included a note with paychecks at at the least 12 of his McDonald’s franchise operations that said electing the right candidates would assure raises and benefits could continue.
Siegfried’s lawyer claims his client was unaware his actions were illegal.
Of course, ignorance of the law is no excuse. Many corporations try to steer employees to vote Republican.
Siegfried made the mistake of of writing his political sentiments down.
This was after the Obama administration gave McDonald's a waiver for providing medical insurance to temporary employees.
