Geee Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Washington Times: Black campaign workers are paid noticeably less than their white counterparts —and the disparity is especially egregious when the paychecks are being signed by Democrats, versus Republicans, a new report found. The New Organizing Institute reported the good news for Democrats — that the party’s federal campaigns are generally more diverse than those of Republicans. “Republican campaigns have more pronounced disparities both in gender and racial/ethnic representation among campaign staff, 54.2 percent of all staff on Republican federal-level campaigns are white men, compared to 32.4 percent on Democratic races,” NOI reported in its study. Yet Democrats don’t pay so well, it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyber_Liberty Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 The study is obviously an old, white Republican war on minorities. And it's raciss of the Washington Times for pointing it out. I have a side comment on a quote from the story: “It was pretty clear to me early on that you can get put in a box pretty quickly,” said Sujata Tejwani, president of the Democratic firm, Sujata Strategies, in The Daily Beast. “You get offers for jobs: African-American outreach, Asian-American outreach. Oftentimes when you start doing that work, it’s hard to get out of it.” An obvious point: Maybe the name "Sujata Strategies" is what's getting your company boxed into crap jobs? Just a thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
