That is a blatant violation of the Hatch act. Beyond any doubt.

What Activities Are Permissible?

The following is an excerpt from NYSBA/MLRC Municipal Lawyer | Fall 2006 | Vol. 20 | No. 4:

While the Hatch Act prohibits some conduct by municipal employees concerning partisan elections...it does not prohibit municipal employees from: (1) running as a candidate for public office in nonpartisan elections, that is, elections where candidates are running with no party affiliation; (2) holding elective office in political parties, clubs, and organizations; (3) campaigning for candidates for public office in partisan and nonpartisan elections; (4) contributing money to political organizations; and (5) attending and giving a speech at a political fundraiser, rally, or meeting. (italics are mine)

But as for one's supervisor "suggesting" that their employees attend a certain political event AND on company time, well that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish.

During “work” time?
(Also, my question assumes they do “work.”)

Does the Hatch Act specify that all of the afore mentioned are not done while any municipal employee is on the clock?

New York Marxists don’t care about the law, rules, regulations, or the anything that stands in their way to power.

Just think of them as Nazis in training.

Add to that using a government email account, network, and computer for political purposes.
