Mayor Daley puts Chicago workers heads on the chopping block

Today, the pink sheets were handed out in full force. People are now losing their jobs at Chicago City Hall and other Departments. And thanks for all the hard work, Obama won the election! More heads rolling soon. I suggest you apply with the Daley friends and family, business is booming! Patrick McDonough

Richie must not be planning on being here for the next mayoral election.

I wonder how many of the rats will still be on this sinking ship of a city when it goes down?

US Steel 650 layoffs, Fidelity investments 1,700 Layoff ,Citicorp 10,000, Sun Micro Systems 6000, General Motors 1,900..layoff announced on Thursday and Friday.. Oh but I am sure Pat would blame the Mayor for those as well..News flash its the economy genius.

Gee I wonder why none of the unions would agree to unpaid days off to save jobs? Especially with all of the absenteeism( employees who use up their sick days going boating in Wisconsin and then go into sick no pay) that already exists such as in Water Management, Streets and San?

(Response) Many successful American Corporations are saving workers jobs and avoiding layoffs at all costs. I hope you are not that stupid to realize many of the jobs Americans now need were sent overseas and both Democrats and Republicans sold America down the River! What point are you trying to make? Go to school and get more education like me, READ! I say Mayor Daley has spent like a drunken sailor, his "Reserves" were taxpayer purchased assets. Mayor Daley is a lousy mayor. All he has to show for all the years in office is waste and corruption.

A meeting took place today in regards to the layoffs where employees at the North District were served notice. The employees were instructed to sign the notice and were refused Union Representation.

In an earlier conversation with Teamster Local 726 (Mr. Kenneth Brantley, Vice President) we were advised the Union had no knowledge of any layoff and not to sign anything without Union council or representation.

Union representation was no where to be found today although the Union had full knowledge the above meeting.

SOLD BY Teamster Local 726 and your Union Barging Agreement!!!

middle fat bosses are going to be saved only nothing changes.pink slips only for the everyday hard worker!


e. Mr. Obama refused to consent to release of his vault or long version birth certificate.

f. Mr. Obama refused to consent to release of any records by any hospitals

g. Maternal grandmother remained silent and never refuted the statements that Mr. Obama was not born on /Hawaii and no access was ever allowed to any reporters to ask Mrs. Madelyne Dunham one single question: "in what hospital on Hawaii was Mr. Obama born?'

h. Even if Mr. Obama would've been born in Hawaii (all the evidence states otherwise), he would've lost his citizenship by virtue of moving to Indonesia and obtaining Indonesian citizenship. Indonesia did not allow dual citizenship and Ms. Ann Dunham- Obama-Soetoro had to relinquish her son's US citizenship in order to gain Indonesian citizenship.

i . In 1981, during the ban on travel to Pakistan for US citizens, Mr. Obama had travelled to Pakistan. The only reasonable explanation, is the did it using his Indonesian passport and using his prior name Barry Soetoro.

Based on all of the above Mr. Obama was never a Natural born citizen, that he would've lost it even if he had it by virtue of getting an Indonesian Citizenship and that he has divided allegiants and cannot become the President of the US. We demand that you investigate these acts and refrain from certifying the vote or signing the Certificate of Ascertainment (to be signed by the Governors and Secretaries of States before the December 15 vote by the electors.) We demand that proper investigation would be done and, if the above facts and allegations are found to be true and correct, Mr. Obama be de-certified of the ballot.


"Gee I wonder why none of the unions would agree to unpaid days off to save jobs?"


Gee, I wonder why none of the overpaid, useless fucks, such as yourself, haven't volunteered to rebate, say, 10% of their bloated, six figure salaries? Or why the midget didn't ask them to?


Let's not even get into the few billion dollars socked away in those invisible slush funds, and the few billion dollars earning interest in, and being doled out to cronies from, the TIF funds, and the hundreds of millions of dollars being held back for the 'olympic dream', rather than spent on what they are budgeted for, like, say, hiring more police, EMT's and fire fighters......


Yep, mayor mumbles really gives a shit about the citizens of our city, about their safety, welfare and economic well being.

Yes, indeed, the midget is really one swell fellow.


For an asshole.

Pat name one sucessfull company that is doing everything to save jobs?

Lets look at numbers.. a $450 million decifict( 7% 0f the budget)..out of a budget 5.9 Billion in which 80% of cost is labor

929 jobs willbe lost out of a workforce of 39,000? Thats 2% of the workforce.

gee 2% of labor that makes up 80% of the budget costs.

So I guess you will have to work a full 8 hours now instead of taking photos and updating your blog.

Pat I have forgotten more information than you will ever know.

(Response) Costco

here's hoping ex city employees will turn whistle blower. how about firing bad alderman like vi daley. i reported her office and a community group paid employee to the IRS and the IRS refused to investigate.

President Obama is a good man. He just needs to distance himself from the local slime.

Costco well then lets add Wallmart and Sams Club as well.

Again you dont address how do you cut or raise $450 to deal with the debt and you dint touch personnel costs when they make up 80% of thr budget.

And before you moan about cutting Deputy Commissioners they are.
