DNC candidate discriminated against employees based on age and race

Ada Briceño apparently thinks that being an anti-white racist is okay. The former president of UNITED HERE Local 681 referred to non-Hispanic employees as "gringos" and she terminated employees based on age, a lawsuit asserts. A jury convicted the group of discrimination and illegal termination of employment.

 According to the 2003 lawsuit, Briceño also disparaged employees' work-related medical conditions, and terminated workers based on age. The kind, caring, understanding Briceño  also told a union vice president "I'm going to fire these f***ing old ladies, and we can get someone else for less money."

Briceño's union paid nearly $1 million in damages and legal fees stemming from the lawsuit, a ruling the organization unsuccessfully appealed.

Despite her history of discrimination scumbaggery as a labor leader, she is now running for the DNC on a platform of inclusivity, [LOL] and is receiving widespread support from the Democratic establishment, which is not surprising because saying one thing and doing the opposite is the main MO of the left.

California Democratic representatives Gil Cisneros, Harley Rouda, and Mike Levin have all endorsed Briceño, as has California's secretary of state and treasurer. Though all of Briceño's top endorsers have spoken against workplace discrimination, they are clearly being hypocrites as none have addressed the labor leader's discriminatory scumbaggery.

Center for Union Facts spokeswoman Charlyce Bozzello said the lawsuit should raise red flags for Democratic leaders, implying that endorsing this disgusting woman would be a mistake.

"For someone who touts her achievements on behalf of workers, Briceño certainly seems to be a common denominator among organizations accused of employee abuse," Bozzello said. "Instead of sweeping her misdeeds under the rug, Briceño's past offenses—and her connection to current allegations—should make the Democratic party question what kind of leadership she'll bring to the national committee."

According to the lawsuit, Briceño routinely treated non-Hispanics differently than she treated Hispanics. Besides calling non-Hispanic employees "gringos," Briceño failed to discipline Hispanic staff members who were late to work despite requiring all employees to sign a document ensuring their punctuality. Briceño also held union meetings that were conducted only in Spanish with no translation for non-Spanish speakers, calling those who complained "contra."

While a California jury convicted Briceño's union of illegal firing and discrimination against its employees, her career continued to advance. The disgusting labor leader retained her job as president of Local 681 and the union later merged with other UNITE HERE chapters to form Local 11. Briceño served as Local 11 co-president in 2017 and 2018, collecting more than $200,000 in compensation, according to federal labor filings. She also serves as vice president of UNITE HERE international, which represents more than 270,000 workers.

Democrats are virtue-signallers, but they're not virtuous by any measure.
