Acropolis Mistaken About Union Call Outs

One of the earliest targets in Acropolis blame game was the Public Works workers and their Union.  We heard early that there were reports of as many as eleven workers who called out sick during the storm.  The Mayor and his Council lead the residents to believe that this was one of the main causes of the lackluster performance of the township in this snow emergency.  But after some digging by a local radio station in Brick, Underground Progressive Radio, we find that the Mayor was at best mistaken in his comments or at worst he was internally misleading the residents of Brick  to cover his lack of leadership.   It is upsetting that the Mayor would try to place blame on these outstanding individuals many of who worked more than twenty consecutive hours on the plows.  These individuals should be commended for all they were able to accomplish while being undermanned due to the massive layoff. 

Here we have the full interview, on The Local Burner, with John Menshon, Union representative TWU Local 225 Branch 4.
