“Your attendance is not mandatory." But only those that showed up at 7 a.m., scanned their cards, and prepared to stand for hours waiting for Trump to speak — through lunch but without lunch — would be paid.

The official "Shell Stations" Twitter handle noticed all of you saying you're going to boycott and mistakenly liked and unliked my post. 🙃 #BoycottShell 
In the process of unliking my tweet, the person handling the Shell account forgot to unlike @chargrille's tweet saying, "the greatest satisfaction for me is never giving another dime to Shell or any other murderous fossil fuel conglomerate to fill my tank." 🤷🏽♂️ #BoycottShell
The better question is: What the f*** is a union that allows its workers to be exploited to inflate the ego of an anti-union president?
You should be ashamed! #BoycottShell post-gazette.com/business/power…

These are the "rules" provided to workers, including "Prepare to stand for several hours. You will be standing through your normal lunch period. Lunch WILL NOT be provided."
This absolutely looks and smells like an illegal in-kind contribution to Trump's re-election campaign by @Shell.
A simple Google search shows that $5,000 is the max a corporation like Shell can donate to any campaign. The President's campaign is no different. #BoycottShell

The White House did not respond to a request for comment. @Steamfitters449, the union mentioned in the Post-Gazette, also did not respond to CNN's request for comment. 👀

It appears the WH will try to sidestep this disgusting abuse of Steamfitters Union workers as an FEC violation because it was an "official WH event".
But that's the problem! They frequently spend our taxpayer dollars for Trump to make partisan re-election speeches.

The @Steamfitters449 workers who were forced to attend this political speech (or lose pay) where Trump talked about serving a third term & fourth term were warned by their employers that "anything viewed resistance" would not be tolerated.
Despicable! #BoycottShell
