She'll be apologizing for that in 5...4...3...2...
The Service Employees International Union has suspended it's vice president — the top official in its "Fight for $15" movement — Scott Courtney, after allegations surfaced that Courtney had sexual relations with several female workers who were then promoted.
According to a spokesperson for SEIU, “questions were raised ... relating to our union’s ethical code and anti-nepotism policy." Those questions had to do with an alleged affair Courtney was having with a female junior employee at SEIU. The relationship, according to reports, was one of several going back years — and the women who slept with Courtney, Buzzfeed News reports, were often promoted within the organization.
“I suspended Executive Vice President Scott Courtney from his assigned duties as an officer of SEIU on Monday," said SEIU's president, Mary Kay Henry. She added that the suspension will continue while SEIU's general counsel pursues a full investigation.
Courtney got married this past weekend, so the suspension's timing is both ironic and terrible.
According to Buzzfeed, Courtney's allegedly lecherous behavior was an "open secret" among the Soros-funded union's employees, and cast a long shadow over SEIU's "Fight for $15" campaign, which focused on raising the wages "of a low-wage, largely female fast-food workforce" (and also on unionizing fast food workers in a bid to expand SEIU's membership and number of dues-paying members).

No, Mayim Bialik Is Not 'Victim-Blaming', She's Exactly Right About Women And Sexual Harassment
"I have always had an uncomfortable relationship with being employed in an industry that profits on the objectification of women," wrote the Blossom star.

But the virtue-signaling condemnation is as unnecessary as a push-up bra on Dolly Parton.
Bialik repeatedly clarified that women, no matter their appearance or flirtatious actions, should never be blamed for a man sexually harassing them; she was merely stating the reality of Hollywood culture and how women should resist being sucked into the vortex of exploitation.
"In a perfect world, women should be free to act however they want," wrote the actress. "But our world isn’t perfect. Nothing — absolutely nothing — excuses men for assaulting or abusing women. But we can’t be naïve about the culture we live in."
Attempting to protect yourself from possible exploitation or harassment is not an expression of "internalized misogyny," it's smart and natural.
Moreover, the actress is making this point precisely because women are worth more than their looks and sex.
"If you are beautiful and sexy, terrific. But having others celebrate your physical beauty is not the way to lead a meaningful life," Bialik added.
