Katz Cries About Her Own Poor Performance
Carla Katz demonstrated yesterday that she is unfit to lead a union. She wrote over at PolitickerNJ.com that Governor Corzine added to “[d]emonizing public workers” by refusing to give state workers off on Black Friday.
Traditions, like the three decades-long granting of an extended Thanksgiving holiday for public servants, are worth fighting for.
If that is the case, then when Ms. Katz negotiated the contract of 9000 state workers she represents this year with her former boyfriend, she should have fought for the day off. That she did not demonstrates she is unfit to be a union leader.
Governor Corzine merely enforced the contract. The contract does not provide for state workers to have off on Friday. That other governors have provided this benefit at the expense of the taxpayers does not matter. Katz did not protect her union members and negotiate this perk. It is not like it was an unexpected move. More than a year ago I wrote:
When it comes to negotiation time with your former girlfriend, make certain that if the union wants this day off, something of significance is given from their side. I suspect workers will quickly give up the outrage over the “loss”.
Katz is crying over her poor performance. The 9000 state workers should remember that at election time.
