Nancy Pelosi’s radical political views are exactly what have kept her elected in San Francisco, along with the flow of union campaign money. The staunch “union supporter” Pelosi has even received the Cesar Chavez Award from the United Farm Workers Union. But her $25 million Napa vineyards and winery, she and her husband own is a non-union shop. The hypocrisy doesn’t stop there. Pelosi has received more money from the Hotel Employees and Restaurant Employees union than any other member of Congress in recent election cycles. The multi-millionaire investors own a large stake in an exclusive resort hotel in Wine Country, the Napa Valley Auberge Du Soleil Resort. It has more than 250 employees. But none of them are in a union, according to Peter Schweizer, author of Do As I Say, (Not As I Do) Hypocrisy of Democrats, and a regular contributor to the New York Times.Pelosi is also partners in a restaurant chain called Piatti, which has 900 employees. The chain is (you might have guessed) a non-union shop.
