‘WA Interpreters’ group linked to anti-union, anti-immigrant forces – TheStand.org

The following is from Accountable Northwest:

OLYMPIA (June 30, 2022) Interpreters for Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) will soon be voting on forming a union, and which organization to partner with. One of their options is to join Interpreters United (WFSE/AFSCME), a well-established public sector union with a track record of negotiating great collective bargaining agreements that bring higher wages, access to health care, and improved working conditions for working families, as well as staff and resources to protect workers year-round.

In fact, the 2018 legislation giving L&I interpreters collective bargaining rights was championed by the Washington Federation of State Employees (WFSE), which was already representing Medicaid and social services interpreters in the state. Those interpreters have won benefits like an hourly minimum pay per appointment, reimbursement for no-shows, and protection against clawbacks. WFSE also successfully changed the law to allow interpreters to bargain over health care with the state.

Another outfit calling itself WA Interpreters, and led by Juan Bloise, is vying to be the self-appointed leader of L&I interpreters. Concerningly, leaked emails reveal that Bloise has been coordinating his efforts with the Freedom Foundation, an anti-worker group with ties to anti-immigrant leaders and funders. While its not a complete picture of their close ties, the damning emails show:

Bloise coordinated multiple times with the Freedom Foundations Max Nelsen on designing a mailer to interpreters. The Freedom Foundation may have even helped with printing and postage expenses.

Bloise asked the Freedom Foundation for money and thanked them for the help theyve provided so far.

The Freedom Foundations Max Nelsen helped set up a telemarketing system for Bloise.

Why is this so concerning? Because the so-called Freedom Foundation actively works to undercut workers. The group has opposed measures that would benefit workers, such as raising the minimum wage, implementing paid sick leave, and increasing retirement security.

Their founder helped write a toolkit on shrinking state governments by cutting employee pensions, raising the retirement age, increasing out-of-pocket health insurance costs, and delaying raises.

Even more disturbingly, they have a track record of hate and division, including against immigrants. Many L&I interpreters are first or second-generation Americans, holding proud ties to a heritage that started outside our borders. People that immigrated to the United States have empowered our country for centuries, so why would Bloise accept help from a group like the Freedom Foundation?

Mike Nearman was a senior employee of the Freedom Foundation and a leader of the anti-immigrant hate group Oregonians for Immigration Reform. They pushed a ballot initiative in Oregon to revoke its status as a sanctuary state. Nearman became the first legislator in Oregon history to be expelled from the state legislature for opening the doors to armed, far-right activists.

In 2019, Fox News Laura Ingraham was the keynote speaker at the Freedom Foundations banquet. She has said that immigrants are coming to replace old America with new America and that Mexican immigrants have come here to murder and rape our people.

Jac Cates, a former staffer at the Freedom Foundation, called for the deportation of all Muslims saying that the religion is the problem.

The Freedom Foundation received funding from the Scaife Foundations, which have also sent millions of dollars to a web of radical anti-immigrant groups including the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS). CIS testified in Congress against immigration reform, claiming virtually all illegal aliens are guilty of multiple felonies. CIS was founded by white supremacist John Tanton.

L&I interpreters are voting soon. With the shocking revelation about Bloises work with the Freedom Foundation, their choice may be a lot simpler. One option is Interpreters United (WFSE), a time-tested organization that has already won pay raises and job improvements for thousands of interpreters. The other is Juan Bloises outfit, which has secretly coordinated with an anti-worker group with ties to the anti-immigrant movement. He owes a big explanation for that choice to the workers he wants to represent.

Want to celebrate the trust of merchant partners: BharatPe CMO Parth Joshi – Exchange4Media

Rising above the transactional relationship that a consumer has with a brand, BharatPe is focusing on building deeper bonds, on the back of trust, with its 8 million+ merchant partners. And this is what gave birth to its latest Hai Yakeen campaign, CMO Parth Joshi told exhange4media.com in a recent virtual conversation.

Speaking about the idea behind the campaign, Joshi said, We believe in the potential of millions of merchant partners who are using our payment platforms and lending solutions to achieve their dreams and expectations. We, therefore, wanted to elevate our brand amongst the community and celebrate the trust that these merchants have in us. Hai Yakeen perfectly encapsulates that feeling and connects with the TG at a different level.

Conceptualised by McCann and directed by Anupam Mishra, the film crafts stories of 6 small business owners and highlights how they fulfilled their big dreams with resilience, innovative thinking and hard work. The film also establishes the trust BharatPe has in the high growth potential of the offline merchants, while helping them with best-in-class fintech products that are enablers in their growth story.

Joshi further added that the tagline Hai Yakeen goes beyond the transactional aspects of a fintech business and connects well with the merchant partners of Bharat and not just India. This messaging goes down to the very root of our DNA wherein we are supporting these small businesses with our payment and lending solutions because we trust their potential, he quipped.

The television campaign is being supported by a high decibel 360-degree approach, which also covers digital and OTT media (media duties handled by GroupM Motivator). But Joshi has strategically refrained from doing any influencer marketing for this campaign.

He elaborated, We have a very pin-pointed approach to media. You cant be using a marketing tool just for the sake of it. For this particular campaign, we dont think having an influencer partnership would make sense as the campaign is all about the merchants. And even when we do influencer marketing, we only work with influencers who are experts in the domain and are in the position to add value to the TG.

Talking more about the overall marketing strategy for the brand Joshi said, We follow an omni-channel approach but our choice of media and frequency is very campaign-specific. Each campaign has its own objectives and delivery parameters, which we keep in mind while choosing how and when to reach out to our TG. We lead via mainline and use digital for more one-to-one communication to reach the right audience with the right messaging at the right time. Facebook, YouTube, and vernacular social media channels are a key part of our marketing strategy.

Speaking more about Hai Yakeen, Joshi quipped that the campaign is the start of a larger narrative. The early reactions to the campaign are largely positive. And thats why we want to expand on it holistically. We just dont want to do lip service and keep on making brand films but also build solutions for our merchants that improve the ease of doing business for them, he concluded.
