Union chief calls Apple 'unpatriotic' for not hiring more workers

By Meghashyam Mali - 09/04/11 09:54 AM ET

President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters James P. Hoffa criticized the patriotism of American corporations who are sitting on assets and holding back from employing more American workers.

Hoffa called American businesses "unpatriotic" for opening factories and stores overseas instead of helping boost employment at home on CNN’s State of the Union Sunday. He singled out Apple Inc., saying “every time they do something, they do it in China, they do it somewhere else.”

“We owe an obligation to America, let’s put America back to work,” he said.

Hoffa suggested that too much attention has been paid to what the president and lawmakers can do to boost the economy and called for increased pressure on business to contribute to the effort.

“What obligation does American business have?” he asked. He called on corporations to “start spending some of that money here in America.”

“We’ve lost 8 million jobs since ‘08 and we need to challenge them to get in the game,” said Hoffa.

Hoffa also said he expected the president to present a “bold plan” to boost employment when he addresses a joint session of Congress Thursday.

“We want a bold plan. Labor wants a bold program,” said Hoffa.

So far what we’ve done hasn’t worked; we’re still at 9 percent,” he said of the unemployment rate. “He needs to challenge business. Labor needs everybody to be in the game.”

Labor unions have indicated they are growing frustrated with their traditional allies in Washington over worries the president and congressional Democrats are more concerned with cutting the national deficit than with boosting the still-struggling economy.

Hoffa though suggested that the Teamsters were still behind the president in his reelection bid. “He took over the worst economy in 80 years,” said Hoffa. “He’s going to have a very difficult time turning this around.”

He dismissed the Republican 2012 presidential field and said Obama was the easy choice. “When the alternatives are Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann and Rick Perry, it makes it easy to make this decision,” he said. He said the GOP candidates were “anti-union, anti-worker.”

Amidst concern that Democratic leaders are not pushing back against Republicans, labor unions are gearing up for the 2012 election.

AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said Wednesday that a super PAC is being set up by the labor federation to help unions earn their independence from political parties.

Trumka said labor unions would continue to push both parties to do more to boost employment. Voters are “going to check and see who’s pushing for jobs right now, see whose main purpose and focus is jobs,” said Trumka Wednesday.

I just ripped Hoffa on another thread mere moments ago. But he does have a point about outsourcing jobs. We are supposed to be a country and we should look out for each other first.

I would like to see double the tariffs of anything Trump mentioned on China. They aren't our friends.

Then him and his Leftard crony politician friends need to learn how that concept works instead of just paying it lip service.... Stop with the stupid regulations, taxes, pay demands and ObozoCare and outsourcing wouldn't happen....

What you said would be nice and I agree with it. But what about the slave labor that comes out of China for example. You can't compete very well with a person making a buck an hour. That is why I support tariffs on foreign goods especially Chinese ones.

But we were before all of this shit started..... The real reason why this is happening is because some Politicians want this to happen, make you reliant on them.... not on your own skills.... They want the power and they are passing legislature to accomplish just that..... phuck the average working man....

Yep.

You know what the real irony is when it comes to Democrats and questioning 'patriotism'?

Most of those that dare to go there never served in our military. In fact, you can see direct coorolatiion between those that say such things, and a list of demeaning comments related to us veterans.

And you have the occasional Dem Vet, like that idiot Kerry, who suggest if you don't go to college 'you end up in Iraq'....(eyes rolling)

btw, bastard still hasn't released HIS military records....you'd think 7 years would be enough time....

Questioning patriotism in a Free Society is a rogue's argument.

I don't consider this a free country anymore. Yes we still have some freedoms left which is good. But many have been lost.

In fact if it was up to you people wouldn't be able to form in groups and have spokesmen. Citizens United.

Just saying.

I'm always surprised to see adherents of the 'rugged individualism' doctrine, calling for more group think.

Hoffa isn't talking about getting jobs for the "REAL" workers of this country, just for Union employees!!!
