Right Wing radicals froth

who? unite here?

follow the froth:

Labor unrest at Hyatt Hotels Corp. escalated Monday as Unite Here called for a global boycott of the Chicago-based hotel chain and the company took out a full-page Washington Post ad blasting the union campaign and defending its workplace practices.

The union held a press conference in Washington D.C. announcing the boycott with leaders from the AFL-CIO, NFL Players Association, the National Organization of Women, the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, among others, labeling the company “the worst hotel employer in America.”

Unite Here has been engaged in a long battle with the company protesting the outsourcing of jobs and working conditions. It represents, housekeepers, bell staff, restaurant workers and others.

“The launch of the global boycott marks the largest escalation to date in an ongoing campaign for basic worker rights,” Unite Here said in a release Monday.

“Hyatt has abused housekeepers and other hotel workers, replacing longtime employees with minimum wage temporary workers and imposing dangerous workloads on those who remain.”

Unite Here President John Wilhelm said in a statement “it is unacceptable in 2012 that women endure debilitating injuries as a result of the work they do cleaning rooms.”

In announcing the boycott, Unite Here also said it will engage in a week of demonstrations at Hyatt Hotels in 20 cities, including Chicago, Los Angeles, Honolulu, San Francisco and Boston.

Union calls for worldwide boycott of Hyatt Hotels - Chicago Sun-Times

congratulations, madam commerce secretary!
 
It all comes down to D vs. R. If she was a R, none of that would matter to to them. And since she's a D, none of it matters to the other side. You've got to remember that someone with similar sins regarding offshore funds and failed businesses was who they wanted to make President.

To be fair,Romney wasn't even close to being the first choice for a lot of us....He was simply the lesser of two evils.
 
i'm sure it was just a simple oversight... folks lose track of 80 million dollars of personal income all the time.

Same way I'd lose track of $80 when I click the wrong box on my own spreadsheet.

The error was caught and reported by Pritzker's own people. Absent any evidence of intentional wrongdoing, why should I do anything but give them the benefit of the doubt? You don't... hate and distrust all rich people simply for being rich... do you?
 
Haven't you conservatives figured it out yet? It's ok cause she's a leftist. This only matters if she was a conservative. Don't believe me ask the IRS or the mainstream media!
 
The disturbing thing is that campaign donors getting these important jobs for the nation. If I remember correctly when Obama was first elected in 2008 he gave a lot of donors ambassador jobs.
 
This should be an automatic disqualification for any nominee. Obviously, she is too stupid, or too dishonest to hold a senior position in our government.
Instad of going after ordinary citizens, who are simply excercising their constitutional rights, they should go after this bitch, because there is plenty of reason to believe that she forgot to report a few million bucks on her tax returns, too.

I'm sure the fact that Penny Pritzker is not the commerce secretary was just a mistake on your part in your topic name.
 
She will fit right in with this administration. She didnt know about it. Didnt know she was supposed to. No one told her. It wasnt her fault.
