It's nothing of the sort. It's a management team pulling some shenanigans on their workers. And as such things go, this one doesn't make me bat an eye. At worst some people wasted a few hours of their lives because they were told the rally was mandatory when it shouldn't be. It's not like they are actually going to vote based on what some idiot manager tells them. Ask them in a few weeks what their biggest concern about work is and it probably won't be this.
Ohio coal mines seem like a good candidate for organized labor though. I was mildly surprised that they aren't union.
