Best people DeJoy's family company was sued over shocking racism, sexual assault, wage theft, and more Hunter for Daily Kos Spoiler Thursday August 20, 2020 · 7:30 PM CDT Part of Trump Postmaster General Louis DeJoy's credentials for handling a government agency as large and spread-out as the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is his creation of New Breed Logistics, a family shipping company that would eventually become a 9,000 employee operation and be sold off for $615 million, enough money that DeJoy could become a major Republican donor. That's not the primary credential DeJoy has, of course; DeJoy's primary qualification for a role in Trump's hyper-corrupt basket of grifters is that DeJoy is heavily invested in shipping companies that are not the USPS, and therefore stands to make a serious chunk of change if he can either redirect a larger chunk of the nation's mail to those companies or, alternatively, sabotage the constitutionally-mandated USPS severely enough to cause those redirections to become nonoptional. But DeJoy's business credentials may also be taking a hit as well, after new scrutiny. VICE did some compiling of past lawsuits and found that DeJoy's "family" company, New Breed, was in many cases a rather gross and sketchy place to work. New Breed was the subject of lawsuits relating to sexual assault, sexual harassment, racism, wage theft, and union busting. Some of the behavior described in the lawsuits is appalling stuff—as is, in each case, New Breed's eagerness to fire those who made the complaints. It's the union-busting that's probably the most relevant to DeJoy's new position; in 1997, the National Labor Relations Board determined that DeJoy and company took extreme efforts to hide job opportunities from union workers after taking over the Compton Army Terminal in California—and yes, DeJoy himself was making those decisions. But the severity of the complaints against New Breed are ... illuminating. This was not a company with a firm handle on how to, say, make it clear that employees were not allowed to burn swastikas onto the tools used by their Black coworkers. Which may tell us only that the company head, DeJoy, has always been a standard-issue Republican, or may tell us something more.
As a Florida resident I can assure you it’s not due to citizen behavior or anything the governor is doing.
You will never be able to convince me Barr had not been kept in a cage in a castle for the last 20 years
this is only a big development if you believe him. If Trump wins, nothing can happen to him. He will day it was an error if people find out. he told Pelosi nothing else would be removed and there were orders sent the next day to take more machines offline.
the next time he says something smart will be his first time so I wouldn’t put much stock in that little hot take
Just getting around to watching Biden's speech. Damn good job, Joe. Keep it up. He's no perfect, but he's not Trump
He's been pushing this narrative since March and I wish he would just admit he's wishful thinking since there isn't a fact to back it up.
Sounds like a streamlined process that we can do at scale to synergize the postal service and bring it into the 21st century.
Let's take a good thing that works and make it worse. Oh and also insult people along the way. Good idea, Rand
Are the majority of the tweets on the previous page deleted or are they just not showing up for me? If so anyone know what they were?
On this page too. Are they deleted or not showing up? Mix and GoodForAnother are we having Twitter issues again?
Smart to let everyone clamor over the Obama's all week and let people have low expectations for Biden. He shows up and confounds peoples expectations by acting normal and semi competent.
I think you’re misunderstanding what that tweet was saying. They’re saying it’s not too much and they can handle it because they do more every single day.
Aside from craft breweries, vape shops, and hipster coffee bars, it’s sad that millennials have managed to kill Mom and Pop retail through their Online Always lifestyle and consumption practices.
it is a shame baby boomers are too chicken shit to break up the monopolies and have allowed practically every merger and acquisition attempted the past 25 years.
