Steve McInnis, Carpenter Union Prez Steps Down
In the November election, the Carpenter’s Union made an endorsement in our area, Bay Ridge. Usually unions make careful decisions, but the Carpenter’s Union backed a candidate who was supported by REBNY, a Super Pac (John Quaglione – more info here).
Most of the unions supported our new Councilman, Justin Brannan as Brannan supported unions. Solidarity is pretty important with unions, so it was weird to see the Carpenter’s Union make that endorsement. In how many other communities did the Carpenter’s Union make such a careless endorsement?
Today, I saw the president of the carpenter’s union, Steve McInnis stepped down. (Story here and here) They removed his name from the union website already!! Maybe the Carpenter’s Union will get a good leader, who will understand that making an endorsement in a community is not something to be taken lightly.
Then I saw this.
