"But Foster, according to a former spokesman for GST Steel, never actually worked for the company.
“David Foster was never an employee of GST Steel’s Kansas City plant. He was employed by the United Steelworkers of America as their regional union director to represent GST Steel, but was not employed at our facility,” according to BC Huselton, who was head of HR at GST.
Instead, Foster was a union organizer, who negotiated for workers that did work for the company.
Foster explained in his remarks that he was an organizer during his dealings with GST Steel. But it is not clear from the remarks that he never worked for a company controlled by Bain."


Misdirection? yes, lie? no.

Now how about the plant closing, the 716 billion and the welfare to work gutting? care to comment on those?

And if the GOP is not going to be governed by "fact checkers", what else are they lying about?

he didn't bill himself as a former worker.

he was a union rep for all the workers. the ad he's featured in says it straight up... he was a UNION REP, he helped represent employees in front of companies, promised countless men they'd get pensions and work security, and a good life.... and he saw that all go away in the name of greed....
