Anyone but this clown.
According to a report from The New York Post, ex-New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio is lobbying hard for a position in President Biden’s cabinet; Blas has his eye on Labor Secretary.
“The mayor has had his eye on the Biden administration for a long time and now he sees an opening and he’s making his case for labor secretary to the White House,” said the source, who has close ties to the West Wing. “He’s calling friends in the Biden administration to help make his case and push his candidacy.”
Blas is looking to succeed Labor Secretary Martin Walsh, who is planning to resign.
From The New York Post:
Under federal law, the job of labor secretary involves ensuring “the welfare of the wage earners of the United States, to improve their working conditions and to advance their opportunities for profitable employment.”
During de Blasio’s eight years as mayor, the Big Apple’s municipal workforce ballooned from 297,349 in June 2014 to a record high of 326,739 in June 2019.
As of June 30, 2022 — six months after he left office — the number had declined to 304,095, due to a hiring freeze and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
De Blasio, 61, also struck deals with the city’s labor unions that included a retroactive pact that gave the nearly 100,000 members of District Council 37 annual raises of 2%, 2.25% and 3%.
The combined effects of his actions pushed total payroll spending from $41 billion to $53.4 billion, a 30% increase.
Veteran Democratic political consultant Hank Sheinkopf said de Blasio “enjoyed a very good relationship with labor unions…but it didn’t give him peace because he was a bad manager.”
