Look For The Union Label

Now the left is spinning the Dominic Strauss Kahn scandal as a union victory.

"A woman attacked by her employer's very powerful customer was perhaps empowered to come forward knowing her union contract meant she wouldn't lose her job for it."

Oh please, the alleged offender is a big time Socialist, the natural protector of down trodden hotel maids whether they are unionized or not. If only Andy Stern had thought to organize White House interns maybe the country could have been spared the Monica Lewinsky scandal, blue stained dress and all. Oh yes, that was very clever of her union to put a "no rape" clause in its contract. The article tells us it took "guts" (a popular metaphor for courage when exhibited by food stamp Presidents and undocumented domestics employed by Meg Whitman) but guts alone are not enough without union representation. Who did the maid call first? The police or her steward?
