2012 Democratic National Convention: Charlotte, NC - September 4th - 6th

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

I understand several of the events are going to be open to the public.

I was wondering about that. I live just outside of Charlotte.

Hopefully, the DNC will pay workers fairly.

my gawd, do you ever think for yourself

On a more serious note. How do you like it LaCocaCola when your thread gets ruined? This is what your little libshit pals do all day and night long.

 

[Papageorgio]

Yeah, Obamination will trash banks and rich people while standing in BofA stadium.

They're fucking stupid hypocrites.

Charlotte, the banking Mecca, that is really funny the DNC is going to be there.

I'm laughing my ass off over the whole charade

Got to love the hypocrisy of the left.

If the White House is any example, the women will be paid less.

I'm used to it. I just consider the sources and laugh it off.

Likewise, I'm sure.

It's hard not to make a comparison. The republicans have a Black female speaker who was born in poverty in the south and became a PHD and secretary of state and democrats have a Black female who was born in the North in the 70's during LBJ's "great society" and couldn't get a GED until she was 40. Democrats ridiculed Dr. Condie Rice with hateful racist cartoons when she was appointed secretary of state and they think pop-star Mary J. Blige is a symbol of what Black girls need to strive for.

Sad, but true.

Well, at least Mary J. Blige didn't ignore pre-9/11 warnings from Richard Clarke.

Liar! they are paid at minimum wage and pay $6/week for company supplied and laundered uniforms.
They sweep floors and empty garbage. That's not exactly a horribly skilled position. How much are the skilled tradesmen paid?

And those same workers will be paid the same amount at the next event.

Their pay has nothing to do with the RNC.


"Mike Sheehan, Cleanevent's regional manager, said the convention has been a boon, providing enough work to effectively expand his company. He's utilized 105 people to clean up after the RNC -- including about 40 new workers hired for the convention.

Sheehan usually goes through a temp service to hire extra staff for big events. He said he may not do so anymore, adding that he plans on keeping a lot of the new janitors. The new workers, he said, aren't getting charged for uniforms, since they aren't regular employees. Only the longtime, steady employees like Walker are getting charged. "It's like five or six dollars" a week, he said.

Is the uniform charge fair? "No," Sheehan admitted. "It's better to just issue them and allow them to purchase extra shirts at cost. That's where I'm heading now."

Zandra Jones, 29, is one of the new janitors. She hasn't been hit with any uniform charge. Maybe, if Sheehan keeps his promise, she won't have to.

After two years of fruitlessly looking for work, filling out application after application, Jones landed a job with the company two weeks ago. She's already figured out what she likes best about the job. "Working. Just working period," she said. "Just having work."

Does this mean...*gasp* that Repubs CAN get people back to work?
