Service unions back Onorato
Three local chapters of the Service Employees International Union endorsed Allegheny County Executive Dan Onorato for governor Monday, two days after the state Democratic Party failed to endorse a candidate in the race.
The three organizations, SEIU Healthcare Pennsylvania, 32BJ, and Workers United Pennsylvania Joint Board, represent more than 43,000 health care, building service, food service and hospitality workers in Pennsylvania.
“Pennsylvania’s working families need a leader who will fight to bring and keep good jobs in Pennsylvania,” Gabe Morgan, 32BJ’s western Pennsylvania director, said in a statement. “Onorato knows what it takes to bring good jobs into the community and lift people out of poverty.”

Looks like the SEIU didn’t bother to talk to their own dues paying members who work for Allegheny County. They actually work for Dan Onorato and don’t make a living wage.
Sadly typical.

Allegheny County lost 20,000 jobs last year alone according to the State Department of Labor. There are facts and there are assertions. Onorato may want to bring jobs but he has not done it. In fact, he is losing jobs hand over fist. There are now fewer jobs in Allegheny County today then there were when Beer Tax Dan took office.

You know, I have seen no reporter ask Dan why his county has lost so many tens of thousands of jobs even though he has wasted six hundred million dollars of taxpayer money through no bid contracts on a one mile tunnel to nowhere. I cannot wait for our prosecutor to take this pretender apart.

What in the world has Dan done for your members Gabe? More empty promises. Good thing your members are informed voters.

eilleen connoly, neal bisno & gabe morgan had the fix in my friends. clearly they care more about their own access and influence than supporting candidates who really support their causes. funny how seiu 668 didn’t back dan and they are the county workers who actually work for him, what a slap in the face to those folks. bottom line, onorato is the friend of the bosses: the political bosses, union bosses and corporate bosses, unfortunately he is no friend of his real bosses, US.
