Randi Weingarten Slams Target for Not Standing Up to ‘Autocrat’ Trump

‘My history tells me that many corporations said that to other autocrats, too, because they didn’t want to rock the boat’

EXCERPT:

WEINGARTEN: “And I left the strike line in San Francisco to come back to the other side of the country that Tuesday to have that meeting, because I knew that meeting was so important. And what did they say to me? They said to me, and I’m telling you all this before I tell my own executive council tomorrow or Wednesday, they had the audacity to say, oh no, we’re not going to do anything because we think we are much better when we do this privately to this administration. I said, really? I said, really? I don’t know. My history tells me that many corporations said that to other autocrats, too, because they didn’t want to rock the boat. Who are more important to you? The people in Minnesota, where you’re headquartered? The people on the street, your 10 employees who have gotten detained by ICE? Or your relationship with the administration?”
