This CEO - what a jerk

What I took from below was that the mine was shut down for safety concerns.

No, I"m not kidding.

As you posted:

Because the company's mine had to be shut down for "safety and security" reasons during Romney's visit, Moore confirmed workers were not paid that day.

"Our managers communicated to our workforce that the attendance at the Romney event was mandatory, but no one was forced to attend,"

I read it as the mine was shut down for "safety reasons" that day only. Because "Romney was visiting" . There were not enough miners there to work it safely - they were at the rally, or were supposed to be. The remaining miners were not allowed to be at the mine that day.

Geesh - the owner of the mine shut down the mine during Romney's visit, and told the miners to attend the rally and stand behind Romney.

None of them were paid for the day, using the excuse of "mine closed for safety reasons", whether they attended the rally or not. But they were ordered to "work" via attending the rally. And not paid.

They should have been paid for the day IMO. Yeah - that's not very fair, it makes the CEO a jerk in my eyes, and it has nothing to do with the particular politics.
