Workers Doubt Campaign Promises: Despite their campaign rhetoric, the
numerous presidential aspirants apparently aren’t saying anything meaningful, at
least to the ears of most U.S. workers. According to a new survey, 61 percent
say the candidates for the White House are not tackling tough workplace issues
like health care, retirement and employee pay.
Another finding: Seventy-five percent of men and 64 percent of women say
their political views mirror those of the companies they work for, meaning they
are more likely to discuss them openly in the workplace.
The findings emerged from the “Attitudes in the American Workplace” poll by
the Marlin Co. and Harris Interactive, which was based on responses of 752
working adults who are employed full time.
