The clowns at the SEIU sure our taking some hits from Rahm. LOL! Same thing happened to Ernst Rohm and his girlfriends back in the 30s. Good luck bozos! You’re going to need it.

Who in Chicago reads books anyway? Figured libraries there were just a place the homeless can go to watch internet porn all day.

They’re being replaced by contract services..... Kickbacks, cronyism much easier this way.

Chicago library custodians laid off

What? Not properly connected to the DemoRat Chicago Machine?

Or not properly connected to the Mob?

Or simply no longer useful idiots?

Workers say it couldn’t come at a worse time, with holidays just around the corner.

A better time would be? Most of us would feel that there is no good time to be laid off, especially for political cronyism and payback reasons....but that’s pay to play Chicago for you. Guess someone didn’t pay up.
