But who really is the man who will be "Vice President for Global Public Health Preparedness"

"Simonson's alleged lack of qualifications and of public health experience have been a target""...a behind the scenes fixer who gets funding and political support for long-neglected public-health initiatives..."
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stewart_Simonson

"So how is it that Simonson ended up in a position that could impact the lives and health of millions? Simonson's qualifications can be summed up in two words: Tommy Thompson." [Chairman of Constella Advisory Board of Directors] "Mr. Simonson is a lawyer, not a medical expert," declared Representative Henry Waxman, who highlighted Simonson in a list of five "inexperienced individuals with political connections."

IF IT CAN BE DONE AT WAL-MART.....why not at Constella where benefits have been slashed?

SHANGHAI (Reuters) - Employees of retail giant Wal-Mart (NYSE:WMT - news) have set up their second trade union in China, pushing toward the Chinese labor federation's goal of unionizing every Wal-Mart store in the country.

The second union was established by 42 employees of a Wal-Mart outlet in the southern boomtown of Shenzhen, the official Xinhua news agency reported on Saturday.The first was set up late last month in the southeastern province of Fujian. A senior official of the state-controlled All-China Federation of Trade Unions has said the body will work toward establishing a union in every Wal-Mart outlet.\

The U.S. retail chain, which employs more than 30,000 people at stores across China, has long resisted pressure to unionize its workers in the United States and elsewhere.
