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 ... [then the retailers] "should be shot."

From Home Depot founder and former CEO Bernie Marcus

Unbelievable.

Of course, what this really means, is that Mr. Marcus is scared. He is scared that his workers may actually organize, and may actually have rights, and a voices.

And this is just one more reason that we should all be fighting FOR the Employee Free Choice Act. Those workers at Home Depot need a voice, and need to be given a way to get that voice in the face of intimidation from people like Mr. Marcus.
