A simple Facebook comment exploded into a big reveal on the hypocrisy of some groups spearheading the fight for a $15 minimum wage.
“It was a paid advertisement that came through on social media,” Cody McLaughlin told The Daily Caller News Foundation. “I thought it was funny so I posted a comment.”
The advertisement was for a job opening at the advocacy group Working America. The group was looking to hire field managers to launch a grassroots effort to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour. For his own amusement, McLaughlin asking if it paid $15 an hour.
“Hi Cody! Our field organizing positions start at $12.25 per hour,” Working America replied. The group did note though, “After 90 days of employment the pay increases to $15 per hour.”
Working America is affiliated with the AFL-CIO, one of the largest unions in the country.
hahahahaha.
What a bunch of idiots,
hahahahaha.
You couldn’t make this stuff up - well, you could, but nobody would believe it....
I wonder who/what is fronting this group their operating money? AFL-CIO? Chamber of Commerce? The Clinton Foundations and friends? Obama’s Kenyan relatives who need jobs in the US?
Here’s what I wrote:
Dear Sir/Madam,
Kindly accept this email as application for the position. A proper resume will be attached only if I start at the $15 per hour position that your organization advocates. With my experience, I find it difficult to accept a $12/hour position when AFL-CIO union jobs averages $20/hour.
As a leftwing liberal socialist, I am requesting $20/hour due to the fairness doctrine. I should have the very same wage scale that senior union members are being paid for. Placing me at the $12/hour pay scale is discriminatory. Thank you for your time.
Your Truly,
Barry Pelosi
Of course unions insist that they be exempt from the new minimum wage they want.
LOL! Morons...
“Hi Cody! Our field organizing positions start at $12.25 per hour,”
Some pigs are less equal than others.
Typical....
No way the lamestream media will put this out there...can’t identify your own as a bunch of marroons, can you?
