Mayoral Candidate Dept: In a statement released Thursday morning, the union which represents many women and immigrants accuses Smitherman rival Rob Ford of posing a danger to its members, according to The Star. He opposes unions in the service industries and has done nothing to provide good jobs for people in his own ward, the union says, rejecting the Ward 2 councillor s claims that he is bringing thousands of jobs to Rexdale with the Woodbine Live entertainment-relax complex and mayoral candidate George Smitherman has bagged another union endorsement, with Unite Here Local 75 representing 7,000 hotel workers backing the former deputy premier. Ford as mayor would create division and heighten intolerance in the city He threatens to tear our city apart with mean-spiritedness and will attack our communities and the services we depend on, including public transit, community centres, social programs, and public education. As
reported in the news.
@t transit community, george smitherman
