My guess is no, but who knows, they might fall into lockstep with him until after the election.

I think about the Big Three Auto companies who, during recent negotiations, agreed to create more jobs and cars in America; who decided to give bonuses, not just to their executives, but to all their employees so that everyone was invested in the companys success.
I think about a company based in Warroad, Minnesota called Marvin Windows and Doors. During the recession, Marvins competitors closed dozens of plants and let go hundreds of workers. But Marvin didnt lay off a single one of their four thousand or so employees. In fact, theyve only laid off workers once in over a hundred years. Mr. Marvins grandfather even kept his eight employees during the Depression.
When times get tough, the workers agree to give up some perks and pay, and so do the owners. As one owner said, You cant grow if youre cutting your lifeblood and thats the skills and experience your workforce delivers. For the CEO, its about the community: These are people we went to school with, he said. We go to church with them. We see them in the same restaurant. Indeed, a lot of us have married local girls and boys. We could be anywhere. But we are in Warroad.
Thats how America was built. Thats why were the greatest nation on Earth. Thats what our greatest companies understand. Our success has never just been about survival of the fittest. Its been about building a nation where were all better off. We pull together, we pitch in, and we do our part, believing that hard work will pay off; that responsibility will be rewarded; and that our children will inherit a nation where those values live on.
