Pelosi works to rally Democrats at United Steelworkers conference
Las Vegas Sun ^ | Aug. 11, 2014 | Kyle Roerink

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi led a rallying cry for the Democratic Party during a United Steelworkers conference today in Las Vegas.

The California Democrat’s speech to the union comes as her party desperately tries to garner support in the run-up to the Nov. 4 general election. Republicans are likely to make gains in both chambers of Congress, but the party’s leaders are showing no signs of surrender. Unions are a historic voting bloc for Democrats and Pelosi’s speech was a clear pitch to organized labor, asking them to mobilize on Election Day.

“You want paycheck fairness,” she said. “Join a union.”

Look for the union label;)

I bet the rank and file would like to put a pipeline right up her ally.

Why anyone has any affection for this brain dead bimbo is beyond me.

Paycheck fairness... ah, yes. Where regardless of how hard you work or how much you don’t at all, everyone gets paid the same. Love that Democrat “fairness.”

I notice she's not rallying the faithful Steelworkers somewhere in the heart of the US Steel Industry like Pittsburgh, PA, Youngstown, OH, or Wheeling, WVa.

I guess the people who specialize in wasting money instead of making steel are in Vegas, huh?

The members of the United Steelworkers do not necessarily fall into lock-step with the union bosses and bundlers of contributions for the Democrat party. They should keep in mind who is choking off their full employment by sending their job specialties overseas, and endlessly delaying excellent employment opportunities building the infrastructure here in the US.

But they are being bled to support the poly-ticks of the liberal persuasion. Loyalty does have a maximum limit.

After her environmental friends destroyed the steel
industry and are killing the coal industry, it’s
amazing these goons will still support her...

Comrade Pelosi is so damned stupid. The union workers know their jobs (those that still work) are on the line...companies leaving to get the hell out of Obamaland and the excessive corporate taxation.

Hey, Barry and Nancy, you are running out of lies...

They will support the democrats to the end. Even when the union halls are either dead and empty like the Masonic Lodge across the street, or when the hall is just a drinking place for the unemployed workers. It’s like a cargo cult; they believe that with money to the democrats, somehow the closed mill will re-open and the jobs will come back. Just like the cargo planes....

If paycheck fairness really existed Pelosi would be getting a lot less than she’s getting now.
