Any Rhode Island voter old enough to remember the Academy Award
winning movie " On the Waterfront " will know what a " Johnny Friendly "
union is like. No such thing as union democracy. The union boss is
absolute dictator. He makes any deal which serves his own " business "
interests and to hell with any dissenting workers. So when I read about
the business manager for local 51, representing plumbers and pipe
fitters in Rhode Island, Timothy Byrne, supporting Gina Raimondo for
governor , I smelled a " Johnny Friendly " deal . Just how democratic is
local 51, Mr. Byrne ?
Can any Wall St. game player have a clue about the real
needs of working people - apart from a nice cold beer after work ? In
contrast to Gina Raimondo, liberal Democrat, Senator Elizabeth Warren ,
is furious about all these pension betrayals - even in the public
sector. Let the ONE PERCENT pay for THEIR firefighters and police
officers. Gina Raimondo is BRILLIANT only in betraying the working
class.
