I get e-mails regularly from the union telling me exactly how to vote.
Is that coercion?
How would they react if you wrote back and told them to mind thier own business and piss off?

I'd probably get fired.
He told them to make it clear what is in their best interest job wise. No different then making an add or a statement in an add.
Since when? Do business owners give up their right to free speech when they hire people?

I was once told that it would be in my best interest, job wise, to have sex with my boss. Guess that was just an advertisement.

Logical fallacy, false parallel.
Your boss knows whether or not you have sex with him.
There's no way a boss can know how you vote. Fail.
Very true.no one should feel threatened in any manner when they vote.
I hope you make it very clear to your employees what you believe is in the best interest of your enterprise and therefore their job and their future in the upcoming elections
Romney: Employees Should Know Political Implications of Their Votes - The Ballot 2012 (usnews.com)
Mitt Romney is hoping business owners will "make it very clear" to their employees what their political views are and how the November election results could impact their jobs.
At least that's what he told about 100,000 members of the National Federation of Independent Businesses during a Wednesday tele-townhall.
"I hope you make it very clear to your employees what you believe is in the best interest of your enterprise and therefore their job and their future in the upcoming elections," the Republican presidential nominee said. "And whether you agree with me or you agree with President Obama, or whatever your political view, I hope you pass those along to your employees."
Chuckling a bit, Romney added, "Nothing illegal about you talking to your employees about what you believe is best for the business, because I believe that will figure in to their election decision, their voting decision."
Friendly reminder (from the comments section);
42 US 1971(b): "No person, whether acting under color of law or otherwise, shall intimidate, threaten, coerce, or attempt to intimidate, threaten, or coerce any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote or to vote as he may choose, or of causing such other person to vote for, or not to vote for, any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, presidential elector, Member of the Senate, or Member of the House of Representatives, Delegates or Commissioners from the Territories or possessions, at any general, special, or primary election held solely or in part for the purpose of selecting or electing any such candidate."
My union tells its members who to vote for every election. In fact, I've been to meetings where politicians tell the membership who supports them. Is this illegal? Oh my. Who should I call?

Oh, don't bother calling anybody. Romney thinks we need less teachers, anyway.

Must be nice for you to always know what people think, Even though they have never said anything at all like what you say they think.
Kinda like when some on the Right say Obama Hates White America, and Hates the Constitution. He has never actually said anything like that, But people still say it. Do you like it when they do?
You mind providing a link that Shows Romney thinks we need less teachers?
