They are absolutely insane. Turns out that the father/founder of the company was a John Bircher. and supported George Wallace for President.
But this is insane. Former employees of Uline told ProPublica the couples traditionalist politics govern the smallest details of how the company is run. For new staffers, it begins with the dress code in the employee handbook. The handbook defines tardy as one minute past an employees scheduled start time. Just four personal items are allowed on employees desks, with maximum dimensions of 5 inches by 7 inches. One former staffer at Ulines headquarters recalled a coworker who was forced to remove several drawings done by his young child. Liz would walk up and down the aisles, and if your desk looked off, youd be written up, he recalled.
Unlike at other corporate workplaces where discussing politics is tacitly discouraged, the Uihleins lean in to theirs. Employees gathered at the major Uline distribution center in Allentown, Pennsylvania, for a company party in 2019 were bemused when the entertainment hired by the company emerged on stage: a Donald Trump impersonator, wearing a red MAGA hat.

What is this weird fascination and objection conservatives apparently have with corduroy? I've seen multiple references recently to conservative groups banning corduroy. I find it bizarre.

OP
It actually is not, see my replies in this thread. The information is cherry picked and misleading.

Are these individual donations from employees who happen to work at these companies?

Yes, individual donations over $200 are public. When you donate they ask for your employer.

I looked up Urban Outfitters and the record does not back up the YT video claims for 2020, 2022, and 2024.

For the record, the Goods Unite Us App shows Urban Outfitters with 86% of their donations to Republicans.

Does it give the source link for that? OpenSecrets is a very well respected reference site.

It says 100% of donations were from senior employees, none from the company itself.
