Going to guess that was only for direct employees. I was a contractor at the SSC in various software development roles and it was never suggested that I go work at a store though it wouldn't surprise me if it was policy for actual employees. I did hear a lot about the importance of "voluntarily" contributing to the "Orange Voice" which is Home Depot's lobbying organization. Haven't seen any other company push so hard for workers to pay into the company's lobbying arm.
