McDonald's workers told to vote Republican

A McDonald's in northeastern Ohio has given employees a pamphlet along with their paychecks urging employees to vote for Republican candidates in this year's election, the Associated Press reported.

McDonald's also gave a threat of wage and benefit penalties if workers did not obey the franchise's request, the New York Times reported.

McDonald's headquarters in Oak Brook, Ill condemned the Canton, Ohio McDonald's, saying it violated policy.

Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner is having an investigation started.
