Ask Your Plumbing Inspector show debut on Chicago Clout
Many people in Chicago are unsure of the many rules and regulations when plumbing is needed. Some City of Chicago Plumbers and Inspectors might wish to brush up on current events and requirements. Ask Your Plumbing Inspector will address many issues facing homeowners and building management. The first guest of the show was John William Baethke III of John Baethke & Son Plumbing, Heating & Cooling. John is also the new president of the PHCC and also writes in the Master Plumber Magazine. John's family has been in business for over 60 years and is a dedicated Licensed and Bonded Plumbing Contractor. I hope John and Michael McGann bring their bullhorn next show. Chicago Clout is proud to sponsor these shows with knowledgeable guests. Make sure you watch the video below. Chicago Clout protects the health of the nation. Patrick McDonough

Ron Bober Chicago Department of Water Management Hero
July 12, 2009. No sooner than an elderly man hit the ground, than Ron Bober raced out of his Department of Water Management Truck, to save his life. Ron is a Chicago City Worker that will never get an award, despite his act of courage. The City of Chicago needs more employees like Ron Bober! Photo by Patrick McDonough.
Chicago Unions Workers find out progess on contract tomorrow
Make sure you show up to work and find out if your union sold you out tomorrow. Some Chicago unions accepted new contracts with-out members input or vote. All unions agreed to keep your union dues at the historic high rates despite the givebacks. Make sure you wave to all of Mayor Daley's friends as they clean up working for full pay. Mayor Daley's contractors are also working non-union and phony minority companies on the 294 expressway. Tadin Trucking has been working this union prevailing wage jobsite despite being a trucking company paying "by the load". If you are a Union Teamster contractor, ask why Tadin gets to pay different wages to his employees. Maybe Mayor Daley is paving the golden highway for his pal.

Chicago Federation of Labor fires back to Chicago Clout on Layoffs
It was back and forth with Nick Kaleba of the Chicago Federation of Labor and Patrick McDonough of Chicago Clout this morning. Nick is the communications official of the Chicago Federation of Labor and I am a Chicago City Worker upset with the way the layoffs are being handled. By the end of the conversation we agreed to work closer together to address the privatization issues. Chicago Alderman and Mayor Daley are union busting right in front of my eyes. City workers are losing jobs to workers and companies outside Chicago. Phony minority set asides are bankrupting Chicago. Is Chicago Federation of labor better ready to protect Chicago Workers now? After this round of negotiations, I will meet with the Chicago Federation of Labor with the MAG officers and make sure they have the ammunitions to fight back. What the heck is the Journeyman Plumbers' Local 130 doing, caving in as our jobs are privatized and members starve? What dues concessions are the Unions going to make for the members? Are the Unions going to federal court to enforce the existing contracts? Why is Daley still jetting around the world when Chicago is falling apart? Patrick McDonough/Chicago Clout.
