Editing Shell USA (section)

===Campaign violations===
About 6,000 Shell workers and contractors were instructed to attend a [[Donald Trump]] speech held on August 13, 2019, or take the day off without pay, losing about $700 from overtime and per diem. During his address, Trump called out specific union leaders to declare their voting loyalty. Many of the union leaders present were not consulted before the event, and memos sent to contractor management forbade any protest.<ref>{{Cite news| title=Shell Workers Had To Attend Trump Speech To Be Paid, Were Ordered Not To Protest: Report|url=https://news.yahoo.com/pennsylvania-shell-workers-only-paid-if-attended-trump-speech-044953729.html?.tsrc=daily_mail&uh_test=1_04| date=August 17, 2019|author=Mary Papenfuss
