NEW: Rs are giddy about the DNC unionization. "This is the greatest act of unilateral disarmament since Carthage submitted to Rome," Ron Nehring, the ex-Calif GOP Party chair, told @thisisinsider. "Which of those two cities is still on the map today?" businessinsider.com/dnc-unionizes-…
Others are weighing in too. On Tuesday shortly after news broke of the DNCs choice to unionize, Republican National Committee chief of staff Richard Walters said, "We applaud the DNC for rendering themselves even more useless. Perhaps they'll offer tenure next."
At the DNC, union spokesperson Lucas Acosta told Insider the union hoped to enshrine equal pay and flexible working conditions in their ultimate contract, @KaylaEpstein reports.
But GOP operatives said they saw these kinds of union-won concessions as incompatible w/ reality in politics. These all-out operations often work on tight budgets, w/ staff & volunteers expected to work well beyond the 40-hour standard & when voter contact is essential.
