A new report from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette claims that workers
at Royal Dutch Shell’s petrochemical plant in Beaver County this
week were told that they had to attend President Donald Trump’s
speech on energy if they wanted to be paid.
In a memo to union employees obtained by the Post-Gazette,
Shell informed workers that their “attendance is not mandatory,”
but said that if they did not attend the rally, they would have to
take a day off without getting paid.
According to the Post-Gazette, workers were to show up no
later than 7 a.m. on Tuesday morning this week, where they
were to get their identity cards scanned and would then have
to wait in line for hours before the president’s speech.
“NO SCAN, NO PAY,” Shell informed the workers.

Trump's speech to union workers, waiting to hear about
energy and manufacturing-
He lied, he complained, he boasted, he bloviated.
He begged for votes.
“You know, the Academy Awards is on hard times now,
you know that. Nobody wants to watch it. You know why?
Because they started taking us on, everyone got tired of it.
It’s amazing. That used to be second after the Super Bowl.
And then all of a sudden now it’s just another show, because
people got tired of people getting up and making fools of
themselves and disrespecting the people in this room and
the people that won the election in 2016.”
