Tamarin and DuPont are outright liars, as bad or worse than anything Maloney and Hanley ever pulled. Most members don't know that Local politicians, like Daley, have turned their backs on the trustees. So has the hotel association. There is no way they are going to negotiate a good citywide contract. I don't see how their petition can help them that much.
Members are very angry with it.
Even the few committee members who showed up at their last meeting were resentful that the trustees have not done anything for the members and now they are asking committee members to go out and get signatures supporting them. The BAs are lying like crazy to the members. Linda Sabo is telling Hyatt workers that Chicago Reformers are with Maloney. Then she is telling others that we are with her. Reformers around the country should take a close look at what is happening in Chicago and see what kind of union Wilhelm is building.
