"Free Labor" Or "Slave Labor" - Hillary's Unpaid Intern Hypocrisy
What difference does it make? In yet another gross exposure of Hillary hypocrisy, The Guardian reports that the great savior of "everyday Americans", promising to fight for fairness for working Americans; She who proclaims $15 per hour minimum wage is fair for all, is in the midst of a 'hiring freeze' of paid organizing positions, forcing experienced grassroots campaign workers to offer their services for free, unpaid internships.
Experienced, adult political operatives who want to do grassroots work for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign currently have no choice but to work as unpaid, full-time interns, raising new questions about how the White House frontrunner runs her own labor force as she prepares to double down on young people’s role in the American economy.
The Clinton campaign is currently in the midst of what multiple Democratic sources described as a “hiring freeze” for paid organizing positions in the early campaign states where the former Secretary of State is laying the foundations of a massive national staff, with few if any paying jobs available for field operations.
Clinton’s camp has made headlines about its frugality and a hard sell on its fellowship program, which allows aspiring politicos between the ages of 18 and 24 to spend this summer as full-time campaign volunteers. The result, however, is the human-resources reality of a campaign – one scheduled to hold at least 26 fundraisers this month alone – that isn’t just taking on college students with political science degrees but expecting political veterans to gamble their careers on her without pay.
Clinton, according to her would-be employees, has left full-time organizers with little choice but to criss-cross the country and work as “free help”.
The Guardian has identified at least five “Organizing Fellows” on Clinton’s current field team in Iowa alone who held paid positions on national political campaigns during the 2014 midterm elections.
As Reuters reports, social media is not enthused by this mindboggling fact...
Kevin Geiken, a longtime Democratic operative in Iowa, said he had tried to hire several former campaign staffers for paid political consulting jobs, only to be turned down by operatives who instead chose to work for Clinton gratis.
“It boggles my mind,” he told the Guardian in an interview. “From their perspective, they’ve got to put in their time in this campaign now to get hired later.”
Geiken said he understood the Clinton team was taking “great advantage in having free help that is already trained” – just that he “can’t understand why any of them would accept it”.
A veteran Democratic strategist unaffiliated with any presidential campaign said he thought Clinton was sending a mixed message by hiring hundreds of advisers to focus on a policy message around income inequality, only “to hire people as interns and treat people as free labor who have already done the job before”.
“It is a really terrible way to treat the most vulnerable people on campaign staff and makes me question their leadership on everything else,” the strategist told the Guardian.
...
“If Secretary Clinton wants to show she’s serious about economic opportunity for young people, that has to start with her campaign,” said Mikey Franklin of the Fair Pay Campaign.
“It’s wrong that they are not paid because they are giving their labor and labor should be compensated,” he said.

Perhaps, a rephrasing of the campaign slogan should be "do as I say, not as I do."

just another hobbit
She could chop up small live kittens on children's television and still be loved by the Progressives and will nonetheless, be elected.
Why .....
Gawd, if the libtards elect Hitlery as the next PreZ...
We are doomed I tell you, doomed.
(perhaps I shoulda said 'damned')
Non-issue for democrats. Liberals are used to things being "free".
Did I really need the '/sarc fuck you' tag?
They should just do it for the love of Hillary! ;-)
Not that I have any sympathy for that cold, calculating she-snake, but she's kind of damned if she does and damned if she doesn't in this case. In her last campaign Hitlery was pilloried for her lavishly expensive campaign. If she cuts costs she's a slave driver, if she doesn't she's a spendthrift.
Bad Behavior Begets Bad Behavior. (Karma thingie)

The country needs another cunt-on or bush as much as it needs a third term with the illegal indonesian kenyan alien fudgepacker...
knukles - A guy I know said she could "machine gun a schoolbus full of children" and still get elected. The media would cover her: "Well, you know how people can have a bad day. You know, she's done so much good for the country..." etc. puke, puke, etc..
The devil walked into church and as members of the congregation saw him with fire and smoke coming out of his nostrils they would run out screaming. He got to the front of the church and even the priest ran away.
He then turned and saw that the whole church was indeed empty except for Bill Clinton in the front row.
Devl: Do you know who I am ? (Smoke and fire bursts)
Bill Clinton: I sure do.
Devil: And do you not fear me?
Bill: No I don't
Devil (by this time ready to burst): And why do you not fear me?
Bill: I've been married to your sister for 40 years !!
She was never important and never will be. RIP.
GET TO THE BACK OF THE LINE AND WORK FOR FREE. WHAT DIFFERNCE DOES IT MAKE ??? CHELSEA DOESNT LIKE MONEY AND NEITHR SHOULD YOU !!!!!!!!
In few months she will be trying to torpedo her own run for prez and no one will be able to beat her anyway . The repugnant s will be a cluster fuck
Hooory, Hillary our new president
Money, get back
I'm all right Jack keep you hands off of my stack.
Money, it's a hit; don't give me none of that do-goody good bullshit.
--lines from Hillary's campaign song.

Most fitting line:
"Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie"
Here I was thinking that she is singing how money "Can't buy me love" to her interns.
Every morning she makes them sing that in a chorus. At the end of the day they have to confess and spank each other for being ungrateful and greedy.
LOL, No wonder she seems so energized.
Hillary's kool-aid drinkers are happy to work for free, just as long as there's a chance they may someday get a chance to sniff her jockstrap.
mistress of both the Stalinist chillin' and the art of Mao's "so-called self-criticizm" all wrapped up in a Swellsley College Saul Alinsky adoring package.
What could go wrong with this picture?
- Ned
Wonder if she'll give Trump a 'TransRectal Cardioectomy'?
Or visa versa.
Say what you will about "The Donald," but I'll tell ya, he's gonna make a damn fine clown for this circus!
'Ho Yeah'
'Your love does not pay my bills, I want money, that's what I want.'
Do as I say, not as I do is the mantra of every single liberal progressive dolt in world history. The rules simply do not apply to them, only to the masses.
Well, with the exception of her not being a liberal OR a progressive, I'd say you're spot on.
If you'd only went with psychopath...
Kunt
Clunt
How do you know when Hitlery is lying? Whenever she's conscious.
Hillary's plane crashed and she died and went straight to hell.
The Devil, screaming in fright yells “Everyone stop messing around and get to work the Boss just showed up!”
I would love to see threads about hillary packed with jokes; until she is selected it shows our contempt, after that the joke will be on us.
Good point, since she doesn't know hissef, how can we be able to judge that?
- Ned
How can you blame her? She and Bill are practically broke.
Ron Zigler used to say: "That statement is no longer operative" ;-)
lying-working for her, they deserve all the
suffering they get, ask vince.
This traitorous bitch will finally cut and run shortly. With Bernie Sanders getting ready to spank her slochky shitpaign. I wouldn't vote for her EVER! I'd vote for dick Romney before I voted for her.
I'm so ashamed of myself and my country. I voted for that hope spewin Nafarican Namerican wothhless piece of lyin shit, along with millions of others who were fooled by the lies and skin color.......Not afucking-gain, bitch.
I'm voting, volenteering, contributing to Bernie Sanders and for all of you fucking nay sayers.....fuck you too.
The Bern can start a real revolution becaue he has principles AND balls. If you will help maybe we can FINALLY affect a real change!
I like that about him and one more time....FUCK CLILLERY HINTON.....quit you criminal cunt!
America will show you that they don't want a prostitute for money, power and fame for a President!
So you're ashamed of voting for one socialist who couldn't produce change and you're going to redeem yourself by voting for another socialist who's promising the same change?
The definition of insanity - you should look it up.
Socialism/Communism has no place in this country. Zero. Many people have lost their lives fighting against the ideology.
Which country might you be talking about, tovarich? U need to check out Howard Zinn and see for u sef.
- Ned
Fuck 'em. Hope they have to pay for their own pencils too.
Cunt believe it... but she's a real bitch. Bill is no help cause he's senile enough nowadays he forgets to lie about it.
Who in their right mind would actually vote for this piece of shit........or Jeb....
Fuck, I've stepped in dog shit smarter than this asshole.
I am not sure the word "labor" is appropriate here.
I would rather spin it thusly: Worthless interns get paid what they are worth.
If she had not married Bill no one would give her the time of day. She does not stand out on her own.
I want to slam this BITCH ASS with a MExican CATCtus.. BAng!!!! lolololol
eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwww yech
Perhaps the states will decide during the Convention of States that a President is no longer a useful office and will amend the position out of the Constitution. And, maybe they will decide the same for Congress and the Supreme Court. They might even decide that corporations are NOT people.
I know that I have more influence over my state rep than over my Congressman. I would put far more faith in my state rep than in Congress. Sorry Hitlery, time to look for another scam.
I will glady pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today.
IIlove Hillary stories.
It's more addictive than porn and equally as satisfying
Her campaign is not making the bank she assumed
Guess it does make a difference
I took a Hillary this morning
I went to the Oxford English Dictionary, a prized family posession, you may know the one that has the magnifying glass with it since the print is increasingly smaller. Anyway, I pulled out the magnifying glass and was looking up the definition of "hypocricy" ... and ... staring me in the face was a picture of ol' Hill hissef. Well, I puked, right on that priceless heirloom. Mrs_Meat was not too pleased with the event, so as I cleaned up, I mentioned what I'd done and she went online to look up the same definition.
We'll be off to Best Buy tomorrow for a new mouse, keyboard, and probably a new flat panel, Ruined dinner and my elusive prospects for the night as well.
