>> How so, when the threat is to engage in mass layoffs if the candidate a boss dislikes gets elected? How would not knowing who each employee voted for prevent this?

I'm an idiot. I didn't didn't check the exact quote of David Siegel in the first place...
So, the exact quote - just as expected - says (http://finance.yahoo.com/news/ceo-workers-youll-likely-fired-131640914.html):
"If any new taxes are levied on me, or my company, as our current President plans, I will have no choice but to reduce the size of this company. Rather than grow this company I will be forced to cut back. This means fewer jobs, less benefits and certainly less opportunity for everyone."

Just as expected, a very strong mental Kung-Fu allows someone to read is as "I'll fire you if you don't vote for my candidate".

Just as expected.
Damn it.
