As some of you may know, big union supporter Nancy Pelosi does not use union labor on her vineyard in Napa, CA. FRONT PAGE MAG ARTICLE
A short time ago, I had a phone conversation with Marc Grossman of the United Farm Workers. Grossman is the principal spokesman and communications director for the UFW. UNITED FARM WORKERS
Grossman seemed quite surprised and claimed to be unaware that Pelosi refuses to use union labor and that she sells her expensive grapes to non-union wineries. He is going to look into the matter.

Do the right thing, Madame Speaker.
