6. Yes, but if an industry PAC donates to Clinton
it's just regular folks sending in their hard-earned cash.

Any kind of supporting argument whatsoever?

10. I've worked for the Fortune 500 for 25 years and that's one thing that's just a fact.
I have argued about complex issues on the Space Station, aircraft, and lately distributed programming...but never about the janitors.

12. LOL. Well, it took me about one minute to blow your stupid claim away.
I googled janitor jobs.

The first page I clicked on proves that Warner Bros. Corp. hires their own janitors.

http://jobsearch.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?zi=1/XJ/Ya&sdn=jobsearch&cdn=careers&tm=11&f=00&tt=14&bt=1&bts=1&zu=http%3A//www.janitorial.jobs.com/

So does Computer Sciences Corporation.

http://www.janitorial.jobs.com/getjob.asp?JobID=71316670&AVSDM=2008%2D04%2D29+05%3A14%3A34&Logo=0&q=janitor&sort=rv&sq=janitorial&aj=janitorial

This was the first page from a google search. I'm certain that thousands of corporations hire janitors directly.

Your idiotic claim was easily disproven.

Thanks for the laugh!

15. So, you believe that maintenance workers all work for mom-and-pops?
You might not have dealt personally with janitorial or maintenance staff--maybe because the contracts dept did it for you or the buildings you worked in had corporations that handled that.

Some corporations handle their own maintenance dept, some contract out to other corps. Either way, the job is often done by corporate employees.

25. You're actually completely wrong. I work for a fortune 500 as well, and we hire janitors directly.

19. And when they do, they generally contract out to corporations.
Otherwise, they hire their own.

Either way, the janitorial staff are corporate employees.

22. See post #12.
It's not true and it was a ridiculous claim.

Thousands of corporations hire maintenance/janitorial staff directly.

9. They do if they're a janitorial corp or if they own their offices.
The janitorial staff in my office is hired by the corporation that owns the building.

11. Janitors where I work are hired all hired by my company. Almost all of them make......
more than most of the other hourly workers. They're part of our union and the waiting list to become a Janitor is about 10 years.

16. Latte sipping elitists, clearly.
I was pleased to find that as a "blue collar" car mechanic supporting Obama I am now a latte sipping elitist as well. Perhaps I will part my hair on the other side from now on, or practice an uppercrust accent...
