Apparently ACORN is not exactly the goody-two-shoes organization the many of the left have been led to believe.
"Every day, there was pressure on us. Every single day," said Teshika Elder, a Cleveland single mom of three who worked for ACORN this summer.
"We had meetings every morning where they'd go over your quota; they'd yell at you if you were low," said Elder, 21. "They'd sit us down and say if you didn't do better, they'd suspend you. They'd say, 'Try harder next time,' [and] if you didn't get it, you'd be fired."
One commentator had this to say;
"Not only do they harrass their employees as the article states but they have also fired workers who have attempted to unionize even though ACORN is very pro-union. Doas I say, not as I do.
They also worked for a raise in the minimum wage in California several years ago. The measure passed but ACORN immediately filed with the state for an exemption. Oddly, the reason was that they couldn't hire as many workers, or may have to lay some off, if forced to pay more. What a wonderful marxist attitude."
Yes this is priceless indeed.
