After receiving the letter, Stan Smith, who was employed by the firm, spoke to local a local news station to complain that he felt it was inappropriate for such a letter to be sent to employees.

"Everybody has a choice to make their own decision," he told WESH 2 News."I don't feel like it was correct to do something like that. That's like me coming to work ... and I should come in here and I should wear a Black Lives Matter shirt and bring out hats and pass them out to everyone. I felt like it was unfair."

A supporter of US President Donald Trump holds a sign as he attends a Make America Great Again rally as he campaigns in Gastonia, North Carolina, October 21, 2020.Smith claimed this week he had been fired. He has hired an attorney, Richard Celler, who told:"Both federal and state law are pretty clear that an employer may not use its leverage to persuade or influence an employee to vote in a certain manner.

"We believe that the evidence here is very clear, based on the letter authored by Daniels Manufacturing Company, that its intent was to influence its employees to vote for one candidate over another to preserve their jobs. "Most employers are smart enough not to directly say to an employee that if you don't vote for candidate X, you are fired.

The company had also not responded to a request for comment from WESH 2 News, an NBC-affiliated television station serving Orlando, at the time of publication.
