Smaller Unions Complain Of White House Cold Shoulder

Hanley and some other labor leaders voiced their complaints after the appointment of a new labor liaison, Carri Twigg, a former Democratic National Committee staffer and Ohio Democratic Party operative, stepped into the job of labor liaison. Twigg is replacing Nate Tamarin, a longtime Obama staffer and son of Chicago labor figure Henry Tamarin; the younger Tamarin left the liaison’s job in May after serving in it for most of Obama’s first term. Another top Obama hand with close ties to labor, former SEIU official and top White House and DNC staffer, Patrick Gaspard, was confirmed this week as Ambassador to South Africa.

And some in the disgruntled smaller unions say they doubt the change will mean much for them, but they’re happy to see new blood.

“My problem is more with the administration than it is with their designated apologist,” said Greg Junemann, president of the International Federation of Professional and Technical Engineers. The union represents thousands of government workers across the federal workforce.

  1. You did a great job! This post sound really nice.
    I saw something similar a few weeks ago, something like this https://bafeastorfashion.com/, but you did detailed study, and your
    article appears to be more persuasive than others.
    I am amazed by the arguments you provided in addition to the
    manner of your post. I like when articles are both
    informative and interesting, when even boring facts are presented
    in an interactive way. Well, it’s definitely about your post.
