She is a reactionary, anti-union powerhouse within the Obama administration as well as in Chicago politics. She's the finance chair of the Obama campaign and is now a member of his Economic Recovery Advisory Board. She's been the main one on that board pushing Obama away from his earlier support of the Employee Free Choice Act. In that capacity she has undermined the leadership of our female Sec. of Labor, Hilda Solis. Actually, to deny her power and responsibility in all this is quite the opposite of a feminist perspective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133521035538248322.post-35554873125150559182011-07-21T18:39:57.742-05:002011-07-21T18:39:57.742-05:00It looks like you're blaming the wrong Pritzke...It looks like you're blaming the wrong Pritzker here, but I'm not surprised.

The Pritzkers are still big stockholders and Thomas Pritzker is executive chairman. The public offering is a result of the breakup of the Pritzker family empire. Accused of looting family trusts, Thomas and cousins Penny and Nicholas were forced to wrest control of the family businesses when she and other family members were sued by cousin Liesel Pritzker claiming fraud and seeking damages in excess of $6 billion. But Penny is still involved and is the main one with the political connections. She has been most influential in moving Pres. Obama away from the pro-union stand he took during the presidential campaign.Mike Klonskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02017021676773731024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133521035538248322.post-5103869558324138642011-07-21T17:48:34.092-05:002011-07-21T17:48:34.092-05:00NewsCorp is a public company too.NewsCorp is a public company too.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-133521035538248322.post-49180611377730056902011-07-21T17:36:33.195-05:002011-07-21T17:36:33.195-05:00Is Penny Pritzker in any way involved with Hyatt? ...Is Penny Pritzker in any way involved with Hyatt?
