DAVID SIROTA, RADAR - As Hillary Clinton bashed corporate America for
union-busting this week at a Washington convention of labor-schmoozing
Democratic politicians, her chief campaign strategist and pollster, Mark
Penn, must've been grinning at the rich irony. He's the Worldwide
President and CEO for Burson-Marsteller, an international PR
conglomerate known for, well, busting unions, The American Prospect's
Mark Schmitt notes.
Beware the Evil Labor Bosses, Burson-Marsteller's website warns.
"Companies cannot be caught unprepared by Organized Labor's coordinated
campaigns."
There's more where Penn came from, and they're not just limited to the
Hillary campaign. Russ Baker exposes the little-talked about dark side
of the Democratic Party with a long list of paid Democratic campaign
consultants who simultaneously shill for union-busters,
tobacco-peddlers, and other assorted underworld characters.
Then there's the law firm Jackson Lewis, full of some of the nation's
best known union-busting mercenaries. Way back in 1972, the firm's
partner William Krupman published an entire union avoidance handbook, a
tome experts call "the best-known guide to defeating organizing
campaigns." And wouldn't you know it - the same William Krupman is an
official Friend of Hillary Clinton, forking over a fat $1,000 check for
her campaign. At least Hillary waited 14 years after leaving her seat on
the board of Wal-Mart—one of labor's biggest foes—before cracking on
corporate America.
