MANITOWOC — With a 7-3 vote Monday evening, the City Council moved a step closer to potential layoffs — for about six months — of 29 municipal union workers, including 14 from the streets division of Public Works."

So the council can;t find items in their budget to cut to keep these people's working? So their union leadership would rather have 29 people laid off and on unemployment. You see, it's only about the union leaders power and the rank and file be damn d. 


So why do the rank and file support their leadership if they end up losing their jobs? How long will the rank and file prop up the jobs of their leadership when they don't care about them?
