Downtown Phoenix activist Sean Sweat is a staple at city meetings, the president of the Urban Phoenix Project and, most recently, the leader of a recall attempt against Phoenix Councilman Michael Nowakowski.
He also has a day job as a supply chain planner at the Intel Corp. in Chandler.
Sweat said he takes precautions not to mix his work and his advocacy. So he was surprised when his employer told him the company was contacted by someone with questions about Sweat’s political positions.
The individual reached out to the company and asked if Sweat’s advocacy, particularly as it related to his support of the controversial south-central light-rail extension in Phoenix, was on behalf of the Intel Corp., which does not have offices in Phoenix.
