Employer coercion or implied threats about voting is very definitely against the law in the US. A person has to be rather brave to file charges though since finding another job is going to be difficult.

"Hi, Mr. Warlord #2, yeah I'm the guy that got Mr. Warlord #1 strung up. Need a hired hand?"

Its another category of whistle-blowing on skullduggery by employers.

The actual communications by the CEOs to their employees that have been leaked so far vary in terms of the expressed levels of stupidity
