WASHINGTON - The AFL-CIO and three other labor-rights groups have asked the Federal Election Commission to investigate whether Wal-Mart Stores Inc. unlawfully pressured employees to vote against Democrats in November because their party would help workers to unionize.

The groups — which include Change to Win, American Rights at Work and WakeUpWalMart.com — say in a complaint processed on Friday with the FEC that “there is reason to believe” Wal-Mart broke federal election rules by advocating against Democratic candidate Barack Obama in meetings with employees.

What a screwy company Walmart is...they hire illegals and campaign against Obama. And quite honestly, their employees seem mentally deficient.

This is pretty typical of WalMart, so it doesn't surprise me. WalMart also carries out extensive anti-union propaganda on its employees, which is illegal.
