The Democratic Party’s governing body is reportedly considering a plan to bar its consultants from anti-union activity following backlash over revelations that Amazon hired Global Strategy Group — a prominent Democratic polling firm — to assist its union-busting campaign in New York City.
Politico reported Tuesday that “a union-drafted addendum to any contract between a Democratic Party political committee and a consultant would forbid the consultant — or any of its parents, subsidiaries, or affiliates — from participating in an array of activities involving unions,” including “union-busting, aiding an employer in a labor dispute, or lobbying against union-backed legislation.”
A spokesperson for the Democratic National Committee (DNC) told the outlet that it is “in the process of reviewing the proposal,” but Politico noted that “union officials indicated it was a sure thing.”
