WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House on Wednesday is hosting major chief executives who joined a Trump administration advisory board on workforce issues.

Last month, the White House said the chief executives of Apple Inc, Walmart Inc, IBM Corp, Lockheed Martin Corp, Siemens USA, Home Depot Inc, Visa Incand other major companies are joining a 25-member board, co-chaired by adviser Ivanka Trump and Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross.

The council plans to hold its first meeting Wednesday afternoon at the White House complex, according to a public notice. President Donald Trump is expected to attend part of the sessions, a White House official confirmed. The meeting, set to last three hours, will be live-streamed.

A White House official was unable to confirm on Saturday a list of the CEOs who are attending but said most are expected to take part.

The board members are to serve until 2020 and will work with the administration’s National Council for the American Worker “to develop and implement a strategy to revamp the American workforce to better meet the challenges of the 21st century,” the White House said last month.

one who has lied repeatedly to all Americans (rump and fellow crooks) or our side, the American people, us, who actually buy the products that these companies make.

I say if they show up, to boycott their products, or good and hard questions need to be asked why they did go? What actually did they expect from going to such a meeting when all that will happen is that rump will rant and rave his usual nonsense?

It's time we all made a statement that no more lying, no more ignorant rants, no more name calling, no more being a man baby in the WH who doesn't deserve one wit of respect. I know that the boycott idea is lame, but hey, who knows...

What do these f*ckers know about workers, except to abuse them and rip them off? Bunch of spoiled criminals organizing to f*ck over every one else.

Those CEOs are responsible for Traitor Trump and he's about to show them what Putin really wants.
