Embraer, one of the board members of the Tennessee CoC that lobbied for legislation to kill Nashville's LBGT rights ordinance, is a Brazilian aircraft manufacturer which makes uncomfortably small commuter planes favored by Continental Airlines and its feeders.
In the wake of the Tennessee Senate's passage of statewide legislation outlawing municipal gay rights ordinances, Embraer has remained arrogantly silent on its role as a Tennessee CoC board member.
In Nashville, Embraer runs a aircraft maintenance facility. In March of 2011 that facility was described by a anonymous poster who identified as a contractor in a Nashville "Best of the Web" review as follows: "one of the worst sweatshops i ever worked in. no regard for saftey."
How uncomfortable are Embraer jets? Listen to Craig Ferguson describe his experience as a passenger in one...
