Democratic Contractor Breaks Labor Laws

If Howard Dean, the Chairman of the Democratic National Committee, has any sense at all, he will spend as long as it takes to fix this mess. Not only should he put America’s biggest labor and union supporter, the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) on his speed dial, but he should park his butt on their front porch until they agree to see him. Because without their financial support and the votes of the ten million union members in America, Dean can forget about taking back the White House next year.

The workers claim they were forced to work 10-15 hours per day, six to seven days a week, at a salary of $24,000 per year. The workers allege they received no overtime pay and often had to pay for work related expenses out of pocket.

Err... What's wrong with "I quit!" instead of "you're served?"

This is a really big story and another important chapter in the Democrats are hypocrites file. This would make for a great commercial.

In my town the unions have short circuited the union/democrat/government connection. They’re running for office directly. One of our city councilmen has a full time job as a union negotiator. No conflict of interest there.

Yes, well Dums have always had a special place in their stone cold hearts for SLAVE LABOR. And Obama is crazie if he thinks that just because they let him into the massers house for a few years, the Dums will NEVER let him be Pres.

Just ask Hillary and Edwards.

I can understand hiring people to be fund-raisers, but it looks like some of these people were hired to do door-belling. Isn't that what volunteers are supposed to do? If they're now paying people for that, where do I sign up?

What is wrong with you? Democrats don’t have to obey LAWS.

Look at Craigslist. They are paying people to relocate (including a place to stay) and “protest” in certain cities.

There is a coordinated effort to make some things seem like “grassroots” efforts but they are not.

LOL! I believe it.

PAID Demonstrators and paid organizers has been a Democrat Campaign staple for a long time now. When Democrats run, there are many hands out waiting for thier skim of the donation money.

Hillary’s Campaign has been called “The Big Payday” for several years now, because a lot of folks are going to make MILLIONS from it, win or lose.

The fund-raiser’s keep a percentage, the spenders keep a percentage, and Hillary has been buying endorsements with “Consultation Fees” already.
