Con Con is Gone Gone!

By an overwhelming margin, New York State voters rejected a Constitutional Convention in yesterday's voting. A convention, that would have opened the State Constitution, and all of its provisions that protect worker pensions, collective bargaining rights, workers' compensation, and other safeguards was roundly opposed by labor. TWU Local 100 played a prominent role in the fight. Local 100 President Tony Utano participated in a labor walk, door knocking against Proposition 1. He was joined by other TWU Local 100 officers and rank and file members. Here's a round of applause to TWU Local 100 -- our members heard the message, got out to the polls, and delivered! Here's a message from the New York State AFL-CIO that says it all: http://nysaflcio.org/nyconcon-has-been-defeated/
