David Perdue also proud that 'less than 2,000' women sued his company for pay discrimination

#t=2916

David Perdue:
It seems to me that if you look at Dollar General as an example, there was no wrongdoing there. That lawsuit or that claim or that complaint was settled five years after I was there. She knows that. And it was less than 2,000 people. We had upwards of 70,000 employees at that company.


As Nunn responded, "Two thousand women—that actually seems like quite a lot to me." Especially when you consider that the class action suit was brought specifically by women managers, a smaller pool than all of the chain's employees. And when you consider that it was actually 2,100 women. Nunn also pointed out that while the suit was settled five years after Perdue left the company, the discrimination in question happened while he was CEO. It's like how "the statute of limitations ran out before I could be charged with that" would also not be a great campaign slogan.

Is that the standard today? Could it get any lower?

Out of the mouths of the silver spoon club comes stupid statements. Wonder what would happen if this guy accidentally went outside his Country Club protected circle of associates. Can you say,would get his ass bitch slapped big time. This turd is not leadership material by no means. Just another train wreck in waiting. As for his family business,thy are nothing more than corporate welfare clients on steroids.
