......................"Pritzker, heiress to the Hyatt fortune and a huge mover/shaker in Chicago politics and society, has been one of Obama's most productive fundraisers over the years. But since the Democratic coalition depends not only on enlightened cajillionaires but on organized labor heavies like the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), sometimes the ol' interests conflict. Put some Jiffy Pop in the microwave, and enjoy the show:
A standoff between labor and Hyatt hotels had been brewing for years over working conditions for housekeepers. By 2009, union officials decided to target Ms. Pritzker because of her ties to the president.
"We thought that a person who would spend so much time raising money for a person who cares about working people as much as Obama" would treat low-level workers better, said John Wilhelm of Unite, the group that has led the fight."
I'm sure the union will maintain that they deserve a bigger piece of the pie because the hotel chain is turning a profit. In the meanwhile I have to wonder how much the operating expenses of the hotel chain have increased under Barry's administration. At some point one party or the other is going to wake up and realize they have been feeding the wrong campaign.
I can explain it to you but I can't understand it for you.
