Home Depot Founder: CEOs Who Don’t Fight Employee Choice ‘Should Be Shot’

by James Parks, Nov 20, 2008

In Tuesday’s Wall Street Journal, columnist Thomas Frank showed just how far the corporate types will go to stop workers from having the freedom to make their own decision about joining a union and bargaining. Frank quotes Home Depot founder Bernie Marcus as saying CEOs who don’t contribute to Republicans fighting the Employee Free Choice Act “should be shot.”

During an Oct. 17 conference call about allowing workers to choose a union through majority sign-up, Frank reported Marcus as saying:

This is how a civilization disappears. I’m sitting here as an elder statesman, and I’m watching this happen, and I don’t believe it.

If a retailer has not gotten involved with this, if he has not spent money on this election, if he has not sent money to Norm Coleman and these other guys , should be shot; should be thrown out of their goddamn jobs.
