Great catch, Think Progress:
However, as Campus Progress noted this morning, CPAC — going on at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C. — is being serviced by unionized employees.
ThinkProgress asked some conference attendees if they were pleased with the service provided by these union employees. All those interviewed praised their experience at the hotel thus far:
– “It’s been wonderful considering all of the people who are here. I think they’ve done a tremendous job.”
– “I’ve been very satisfied. It’s been very accommodating. [The service at CPAC has been] absolutely terrific.”
We also asked Anthony Riedel of National Right to Work how he felt about attending a conference being supported by union staff and if that goes against anything that his organization supports. “We have no problem with that,” Riedel claimed. Watch the compilation:

About Work in Progress
In case you’re interested in linking to the original reporting, we broke that story at Campus Progress.
Sorry, I don’t get it.
If the housekeepers and waiters at the hotel were non-union, and the customers were happy, would that then be proof that unions are bad? Or if one of the union waiters accidentally spills a drink on some Republican ladies dress, that would then reflect badly on unions?
I made sure to link to it in the blockquote already.
It’s just a nice dig at CPAC.
I’m all for that!
Shall I send UNITE HERE a case of itching powder to be sprinkled on the fresh crisp CPAC sheets?
