What does Pelosi have to say about all this ?
I think her business interests are with the Marshall Islands territory and the labor laws related to the fish processing industry there. The “temporary’ workers in the factories depress wages radically for the whole territory.
Last time I checked Pelosi backed away from supporting the canneries when Republicans tried to shame her into dropping the stupid and ill conceived minimum wage increase bill.
I remember that they pointed out her hypocrisy expecting her to back down and withdraw the bill, but she double downed and removed the exemption for the territory and the result was the territory lost nearly 1/5 of its private sector jobs and 1/2 of its cannery driven GDP.
The few years after were particularly tough and it didn't help that Obama let the Chinese lock the U.S. out of the Kiribati fisheries, and allowed tax free imports for canned tuna from South East Asian countries.
Yes, Republicans can put the blame for the poor economic conditions in American Samoa squarely on Democrats.
