DES MOINES — Mayor de Blasio hopes to get a warm reception from
progressives in Iowa, but his trip was first met by New York City labor
union representatives who traveled to the Midwest to roll out the
unwelcome wagon for him.
Members of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association made the 1,000-mile
trek to stalk the lobby at de Blasio’s Marriott hotel. They came
outfitted with posters and fliers blasting the mayor over their salary
negotiations and insisting he is neither friend to labor nor a
progressive. To drive home the point, a giant mobile billboard sat
parked outside with the same messages.
The Transport Workers Union, allied with de Blasio nemesis Gov. Cuomo,
took out a full-page ad, which costs at least $8,650, according to an ad
rep, in The Des Moines Register saying: “He claims he’s a true-blue
Progressive. But take a closer look. He’s a fake, this Phony Bill is no
Bernie Sanders!”
