| Stern with Honeywell CEO David Cote |
In case you're wondering what SEIU President Emeritus Andy Stern is up to these days, he’s super
busy defending all his plutocratic pals at hedge funds and
corporate penthouses -- like billionaire Ron
Perelman, Honeywell CEO David
Cote, and pension-slashing-venture-capitalist Gina
Raimondo.
Here's the latest.
Stern, in yet another eloquent performance, recently told the Washington Post that he ain’t concerned at all that the United States now has the
worst income inequality since 1928… and even trails countries like Poland, Hungary,
South Korea and Estonia in terms of income distribution… as U.S. CEOs pocket
billions while slashing workers’ pay, health insurance and pensions.
Check out this “Quote of the Month” featured in the latest edition
of Labor Notes:
Quote of the Month: The Washington Post asked former-SEIU-president-turned-hedge-fund-insider Andy Stern his advice for the Democratic Party. Stern spoke out: "I think it's really not helpful for the Democrats to turn this into an attack on the 1 percent. I don't think it's the American spirit, or at least the Democratic Party's future spirit. As Republicans attack immigration, we attack rich people? If you've learned anything from the president, selling hope is better than selling hate."
