Title: Union in NJ refuses to bash Christie and join union protest
Post by: Ballygrl on February 27, 2011, 11:22:09 AM
Is it OK that I put this here for a bit? I don't think the lurkers go into the political forum and I think they need to see this, of course the writer put his little spin on this, but it looks like we're winning:

Ray Pocino, president of the New Jersey Laborer's Union chose not to encourage his 25,000 members to participate in the rally, fearing that it would turn into an anti-Chris Christie protest rather than a show of support for besieged public workers in Wisconsin. (It was both.)

"We want to keep that dialogue going with Governor Christie, and we didn't want to be viewed as part of a governor bashing" event, Pocino said.

So, "rather than risk breaking down that dialogue with the governor, which has been good," Pocino said, the union chose to sit out the protest.

Translation:  We are afraid of Christie and don't want to piss him off.
