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.
I am really hoping that those non-union workers in her string of Piata restaurants and going to get energized. The union may need a phone call.
Do the right thing, Madame Speaker.
Do you have a concealed carry permit, Doug?
Time to walk the talk, Miz Pelosi.
This guy is lieing to you. He knows. She's simply found it less expensive to pay off a local union boss than to pay her employees.
Way to go! I am totally impressed! A Freeper strikes again!
You're just spreadin' the love aren't you? ;-)
Here's to hoping Nancy is going to start experiencing karma in this lifetime.
she'll probably change that now just like she simply amended her filings in connection with lobbying trips she "forgot" after having been given the largest fine in FEC history for illegal campaign contributions to her PAC
Well, that's no news to the average Freeper; I suppose Mr. Grossman gets all his info from the MSM/s
From what I've heard it's not just one business using non union labor.
From the well researched book Do as I Say:
Staunch union supporter Rep. Nancy Pelosi has received the Cesar Chavez Award from the United Farmworkers Union. But the $25 million Northern California vineyard she and her husband own is a non-union shop. The hypocrisy doesn't end there.
Pelosi has received more money from the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees union than any other member of Congress in recent election cycles.
But the Pelosis own a large stake in an exclusive hotel in Rutherford, Calif. It has more than 250 employees. But none of them are in a union, according to Schweizer, author of "The Bushes: Portrait of a Dynasty" and a regular contributor to the New York Times, Wall Street Journal and other periodicals.
The Pelosis are also partners in a restaurant chain called Piatti, which has 900 employees. The chain is – that's right, a non-union shop.
Rush said this long ago but MSM did not give an iota!
ex-Californian ping
I think you've got data on this, Alia?
How could he not know? That information has been out there for months. Maybe the guy doesn't want to know.
Alert Cesar. Let the hunger strikes begin.

Then the other question? Are the non-union workers either citizens or legal immigrants?
