LOL! The SEIU put Rahm in there. What the hell are they crying about!? He’s their boy! Idiots. When it comes to “da mob”, isn’t that what unions are all about anyway? One mob over another mob. This is just a Chicago “turf battle”.
Looking on the photo at the article, you see marchers with a purple banner for SEIU Local 1. There are two words below the top line, one in Spanish (Justicia) and one in Polish (Sprawiedliwosc) both translate to “Justice” in English. So
Local 73 from their website: “SEIU Local 73 represents more than 27,000 workers, primarily in public service and publicly funded positions in school districts, municipalities, social service agencies, and many other job classifications. “
So, this is connected to the public schools and many other municipality type cleaning contracts they already hold— and they are the real local Local.
Local 1’s website is the US wide “Local” located in several States (Illinois being one of them).
From the article, mayor’s office proudly states they let SEIU Local 73 the contract for outer support buildings in the airport and United got the “inside the terminal” type cleaning (more area- contracts let per square foot carpet, bathrooms public areas at gates, lucrative, higher kickback).
So this is the STATE “Local” of a National “Local” Local 1 complaining that the other Local got a contract and that the State one didn’t get the most lucrative one.
Two different kinds Locals of SEIU thugs fighting it out for contract, and one making with fists vs. a probable mob front. They of course would be nationally aligned with some OTHER mob family (maybe?) who wants this action (opportunity for theft of secure spaces, etc.) This could get nasty but business as usual in the thug city.
