Clinton Aide's PR Firm is Under Attack
We now know that Hillary loves lobbyists. And if you love lobby's then chances you'll love the big business interests that want to destroy unions:
Hillary knows that unions no longer have the clout they once did. And she realizes how successful Bill was at turning his back on labor during his Presidency:
As she presses for a coveted endorsement from organized labor, presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton is facing a backlash over the business ties of a top campaign aide who has angered the labor movement.
[...]Labor activists demand that Clinton give the aide, Mark J. Penn, a choice: sever connections to the public relations firm that he heads or leave the campaign.
Hillary knows that unions no longer have the clout they once did. And she realizes how successful Bill was at turning his back on labor during his Presidency:
"Learning that Mark Penn was CEO of a company that in fact conducts some of its business busting unions was very, very problematic to the AFL-CIO, as well as to many other unions, and we made that clear" to the Clinton campaign, said Karen Ackerman, AFL-CIO political director. "This is an issue that continues."
Teamsters General President James P. Hoffa said in a statement: "We have expressed our concerns to Sen. Clinton about Mark Penn and his firm's work for anti-union companies. We value Sen. Clinton's commitment to strengthen America's middle class. But as long as Mark Penn continues to profit from his company's involvement with anti-union companies, this issue will not go away."
