Phoenix Republican Congressman John Shadegg is criticizing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats for exempting American Samoa and its tuna canneries from the House of Representatives’ recently passed minimum wage increase.
Del Monte Foods Co. (NYSE:DLM) subsidiary Starkist Tuna employs three-fourths of the work force in American Samoa. Del Monte is based in San Francisco, Pelosi’s home district.
Talk about corruption. Del Monte the owner of Starkist is in Pelosi’s home district so they get an enormous break from Pelosi. What about the rest of us Nancy?
