box-shifting calluses

On January 15th the National Labour Relations Board accused Walmart of sacking and disciplining workers who went on strike in 2012. Walmart says it acted lawfully and claims to promote 160,000 people a year; Mr McMillon’s box-shifting calluses make such claims a bit more convincing.

I think it's a kind of simile or metaphor. But what's it exactly mean?
  

Top answer

It looks literal to me. The person representing Walmart had callused hands from previously working in a warehouse.
