Outsourced: Herman Cain on Whirlpool Board of Directors. Outsourced thousands of Jobs! Special Editorial.

Nov 1, 2011 by admin

GOP Frontrunner Herman Cain is the lead story in almost every news hour. This self described “Other brother from another mother of the (anti-union) Koch brothers” he is shocking GOP establishment regulars by currently leading in most recent polls - despite these sexual harassment allegations from not one, but several women. Admittedly, they were paid for their silence. These allegations occurred while Cain was head of the National Restaurant Association. Link News has now surfaced how Mr. Cain’s spending habits at the National Restaurant Association were also questioned and it has now been determined that Cain had left his employment before the end of his appointed term at the NRA shortly after payments were made to 2 women who filed these sexual harassment charges.

This article isn’t about sex, or any allegations made against Herman Cain. This article is about what Herman Cain CANNOT DENY.

This article is about Herman Cain’s time on the Board of Directors of Whirlpool which he served on since 1992 as Director, Member of Corporate Governance & Nominating Committee and Member of Human Resources Committee. (He is no longer on the Board.)

However, Mr. Cain sat on The Board when the Whirlpool board of directors shut down the plant in Newton, Iowa in 2007, a plant that had employed roughly 4000+ workers at its peak. In addition, it was Mr. Cain’s human resource committee that cut health insurance benefits for thousands of Maytag retirees in 2009.

The 2012 Iowa Caucus is scheduled to take place on January 3^rd, 2012. And while sex scandals sell in the media, why not take the opportunity to ask Mr. Cain why he voted to destroy a town in Iowa and thousands of AMERICAN JOBS – for a tiny bit more profit. Ask him why he cut health benefits for Maytag retirees – people who worked all their lives for the company only to be rewarded with termination and cuts in benefits for their years of loyalty to the company.

These are the same employees that helped contribute to Maytag’s billions in profits and helped pay for Mr. Cain’s 166k – 190k annual salary!

Recently Outsaurus wrote an entire article on Whirlpool’s outsourcing. Remember when Whirlpool was killing American jobs Herman Cain was helping call the shots.

Take a look at our detailed article. (They own the following brands for reference: Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Gladiator GarageWorks, Inglis, Estate, Brastemp, Bauknecht, Consul.)

Ask Herman Cain why Whirlpool didn’t pay any taxes in the last few years. Ask Herman Cain why Whirlpool took 19 Million dollar government grant then moved a factory from Indiana to Mexico. Ask the frontrunner for the GOP Presidential Nomination how he expects Americans to vote for him when his corporate actions have destroyed entire towns in this country.

UPDATE:

Herman Cain suspended his presidential campaign on December 3rd 2011, pledging that he “would not go away” even as he abandoned the Republican presidential race in the face of escalating accusations of sexual misconduct. Link
