Senator Gillibrand, who is serving the temporary 2 year term right now, took $8500 total in PAC money from Con Ed who locked out their workers this year! She wasn't there like I was with the workers on the picket lines or marching with them to Union Square for a whole day.

Statement from Vincent Alvarez on Con Ed Lockout
"It's the height of hypocrisy for Con Ed to lock out workers without notice in the early morning hours and then seek to blame the union for a situation that was entirely of the company's own making. Local 1-2 did everything it could to avert this lockout, including offering to work without a contract to ensure that New Yorkers safety and comfort weren't compromised. Con Ed gave its CEO a 5-year, $24.8 million compensation package, and recently upped its rates -- the highest in the country -- by 10%, and grossed $5 billion in profits last year. Yet it's willing to lock its workers out rather than negotiate fairly and honestly about workers' pensions and health care plans. All 8,500 workers would have stayed on the job and let talks continue, but Con Ed instead chose to play fast and loose with public safety." Vincent Alvarez, President of the NYC Central Labor Council.
