Nice Double Standard JB
- Billionaire Democratic governor candidate J.B. Pritzker has portrayed himself as a champion of working families and received substantial support from organized labor, but he used nonunion workers to remodel his Gold Coast mansion.
Nonunion labor from three trades was hired to work on the yearslong, $25 million renovation of Pritzker’s 20,000-square-foot residence, according to a June 2007 email filed as part of a court dispute that arose between Pritzker and the general contractor.
“A note of caution,” wrote construction consultant Douglas Kaulas to Pritzker’s brother-in-law Thomas Muenster, who oversaw the renovation. “Now that the front yard is screened off and scaffold is going up, the jobsite has a much higher visibility. We’re perfectly legal with our permits, but we do have a non-union mason, demo contractor and roofer working. We are a little concerned that the union (business agents) may come to visit.”
For Democrats, the support of organized labor is key and using union workers can be a litmus test. Pritzker now joins the list of Illinois Democrats who championed labor on the public stage but employed nonunion workers when it came to their personal lives.
Reason #1,254 why you can't trust democrats - taking your money with one hand, mouthing the right platitudes, then stabbing you in the back.

Billionaire cheapskate
Phurget Phat Phritzker.
As Rauner says, he never had a real job in his entire life.
"Penny wise, pound foolish" comes to mind.
How bout the workers that took the toilets out, were they union?
BOTH candidates are DICKS..
But you saying NON union worker are bad?
Is it wrong for off duty Officer to work security with out being in a security guard union?
How about special employment not being pensionable is that OK? But you can still use the FOP to represent you in another volunteer gig.
Again both guys are DICKS
And watch all the local union will still support his ass. IBEW,plumbers,laborers, carpenters, 150/399 and the rest. Keep voting democratic
Uh, how else do you do a $50 million renovation for $25 million.
Somebody told me they saw the giant blowup rats in front of that building site that Ald. Arena is behind at 5150 N. Northwest Highway. They said the unions put them there as there is non union people working there. Sounds like JB needs some if that exposure also. Of course they would need Jabba the Hutt sized rats for him.
Slime assumes the appearance of whatever gets slime the desired result.
Slime = democrat.
Slime is recognized by it's quality.
Thus, Slime can be found in every political grouping.
Slime is abundant.
Slime is parasitic.
Slime is obliterated by light of day.
The alegory feature, They Live!, succinctly displays the natural quality of Slime.
(Yep, staying fetal for the Win!!!!)
They only say they care when it comes to votes, then everything they do is against the union. Come election time, the candidates who say they are pro-union get the endorsement, but come budget time, the unions are the ones who pay.
I've always said, how can democRATS be the source AND solution to all of our problems?
Last night, I had a nightmare. J.B. Pritzker was roasting on a spit with an apple in his mouth.
The unions will still support him. They never learn.
Jabba the Hutt used scab contractors ? Who wudda thunk it?
wow illinois, your future sure looks sucky.
The trade unions give millions to the democrats every election cycle and this is the way they are treated in return. The union bosses may try and tell you how to vote but how you vote is your own business. Remember this insult when you enter the voting booth don't be someone thats follows faithfully like a sheep to slaughter. Make up your own mind and vote the way you chose not the way you are told to vote. But above all VOTE. If you don't vote like a lot of coppers on this sight don't complain when democrats screw you over again and again. By not voting you enable the bastards.
Classic don't do as I do, do as I say.
Stupid Fucked up Unions!
T.B. "Toilet Boy" Pritzker. Our next governor.
Complete capitulation to Madigan.
The Chicago Federation of Labor put out a statement yesterday saying that they "continue to back JB 100% and are working to get their 900,000 members out to support him". If that wasn't so fucking disgusting it would be laughable.
Just like the Dictator of the 45th Ward John Arena. Dictator Arena is trying on a pro union platform for the upcoming election, yet the majority of developments in the ward are done by non union workers. How can one claim to be pro union after they stalked, threatened and filed false complaints against nearly 100 City UNION workers.
Pure DemocRat. Get this from Project Veritas: Veritas Undercover Exposes MO Sen. McCaskill Hiding Liberal Agenda From Moderate Voters: "People Just Can't Know That" https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-10-15/veritas-undercover-exposes-mo-sen-mccaskill-hiding-liberal-agenda-moderate-voters
Just ask yourself, “How have the Democrats treated FOP members?”
Are the workers at fat boy's hotels unionized?
Bruce Rauner for governor !!!!
JB Pritzker is a fraudster....perfect for Illinois.
In the end, which candidate is best for working class policemen? You decide.
Somebody told me they saw the giant blowup rats in front of that building site that Ald. Arena is behind at 5150 N. Northwest Highway.
It's true. He even got a CR on the inflatable rats.
Who knows what type of evil cabal will form after this election ends. No way in hell I'm voting for jughead after I heard him scheming with badboyobitch on the fbi wiretaps.
this guy is promising the moon...on-line, everywhere...this guy will be Daley 2.0
leave Illinois...LEAVE YESTERDAY!
Take a look at the cops who get thier free tickets from JB to sit in his box for blackhawks and bulls games at UC. Are they voting for JB
SCC, the Pritzkers are much worse than just that.
Sunday NY Times has a piece on how their Hyatt set up a bogus credit union for employees, then gouge them for every fee imaginable.
Regular company-store operators, they are.
Union members who support the Pritzkers are fools.
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/10/11/business/marriott-credit-union-employee-strike.html
The gall of that nauseating fatbody. He can only run as a demorat, since he can buy his way in with them.
Can we stop pretending that the sole criteria for getting organized labors backing anymore is the (D) behind the name?
Bend over and grab your ankles if jelly belly gets in!
Call everyone and tell them not to vote Democrat and keep fat boy from becoming Governor.
I’m no Pritzker fan but using non union labor is exactly what Rauner, and Rahm for that matter, would do.
The porcelain prince is so dirty I can smell him all the way to Wisconsin.
I would not vote this fatass hypocrite in for dog-catcher. Just another lying, thieving, corrupt democrat like his buddy Madigan.
And JB will win in a landslide because idiots always vote democratic.
Democratic (progressive left) wonderland:

Those rats were REAL!
Champion of the little guy.
Not too many are bigger than JB, literally.
Some champeen - rehabbing just one of a few mansions and stabbin’ cabins he owns with cheap labor.
Hey, he’s providing jobs for the forgotten little person of non-gender right?
JB doesn’t need to enhance his image by wearing Oshkosh B’gogh overalls with a 22 oz. Estwing in the leg loop...
he’s got Hillary & The Hawaiian.
Real champ, likes to save a few bucks with labor and real estate taxes.
Must be that tough love upbringing that lead to keep a few billion offshore.
Democrats have been promising jobs-jobs-jobs.
Yet none since 1950 have built any factories.
Housing (colonization) is flourishing.
No Democrat has provided any jobs.
Pilgrims worked for months before any shipments of provisions came from across the sea.
These days sanctuary pilgrims are siting at home watching comcast awaiting that SSI-Link transfer.
A vote of JB is a vote of confidence and approval of obama-clinton-rahm.
The reality of having two billionaires running for governor is enough to make me understand why people do not vote. Neither candidate supports the common man or woman in this state. Do you know any billionaires? I do not know any. Yes, the unions backed JB, but the rank and file will not go for it, quite like the last election. Until the people start voting third or fourth party, nothing will change. We are not rich and they only understand votes. There is a group in Colorado called Unite America that is actively recruiting independent voters to vote for third party candidates. We can cry all we want, but it is incumbent upon us to change things. I wish Madigan would go away, but crying over him will not make it so.
Unite America is a movement of Democrats, Republicans, and independents who are committed to bridging the growing partisan divide in order to tackle our largest challenges and leave a better country to future generations. (hopefully a worthwhile group)
A gyy with his backround and linneage being cheap. I just cant believe that.
They only say they care when it comes to votes, then everything they do is against the union. Come election time, the candidates who say they are pro-union get the endorsement, but come budget time, the unions are the ones who pay.
---Same old song and dance with these progressive leftist thieves. They cry about equal pay, fair labor practice, rights to free food, medical, and housing, and of course, diversity to the point of forcing lions and sheep to cohabitate. But when these charlatans are under the microscope, you really see how they live and it is quite the opposite of what they are claiming they represent. They want to raise wages and force employers to cover health care, but they use cheap non-union waged, part time laborers that don't get any medical benefits. Pritzker's own hotel employees are picketing and striking because they aren't getting fair pay and benefits. They want to raise taxes on the "wealthy" in this state, but Pritzker and his cohorts pay tax attorneys good money to avoid paying those "fair" tax rates. And those that qualify in the "wealthy" category are actually now just middle class when the cheapest mortgage around here is 450K, the yearly permits and fees that they have to pay continue to skyrocket, and the value of the US dollar continues to decline. So again, all this "fair" taxing just hurts the middle and upper middle class, not the Pritzker's or the Rockefellers who can hide their money in Cayman Island accounts. All the extra tax revenue they get their fat hands on does not go to balancing the budget anyway; 3/4 goes back into their own pockets through pet projects and contracts and the remainder goes to the "community" in the form of freebies and subsidies for more votes. And while these leftists can't pass up a photo op with people from the "community" - Pritzker loves to park his fat ass in the middle of bunch of black kids like he's santa claus on xmas day as seen on EVERY one of his commercials, they all live far far away from the "community" in very expensive and exclusive neighborhoods that only look diverse when they are getting their mail delivered or lawn serviced. The only loud reports these elitist scum ever hear come from the fireworks show at the local country club on the 4th of July. Nothing but a bunch of aristocratic scammers every one.
Yabba dabba do!!!!!

They learned all too well. Unions are just as crooked as the politicians, and are in bed with them. Look at our "fraternal order". Many unit reps are/were either detectives or bucking for that spot, at the rank and file's expense. Since I've been on, we got screwed on every contract and are always losing ground to the city.
Fatty Arbuckle's commercials say Trump must be stopped. Ask yourself if you agree with this, then cast your vote appropriately.
Another democrat do nothing for the voters the taxpayers! Who would this be? How about former extremely short time CPD copper, the most powerful man in the state they say aside from madigan Eddie Burke! This guy speaks out about nothing, like eddie your head of the finance committee and you have nothing to say about a police contract, or even more important about properly funding police pensions?
You know it was funny watching you walk door to door on the west end of your ward, the same ward you and madigan cut up to get more "white votes" with your bodyguard in tow what a spectacle! Your brother Danny lost to a young no experience hispanic kid for the statehouse, he tried the same routine! Now today Eddie your speaking out anti-Trump and refusing to put out the money to the gary Chicago airport stating that the feds use this airport to deport the criminal illegals living here! So obviously your against the "rule of law" you expect the "ethnic" voters to vote for you against another young hispanic kid running for your seat? Sorry Eddie you have slapped the people who actually obey the laws and vote to many times, people are tired of the democratic antics time to retire best of luck!
Removing toilets , non union labor fully qualifies him to be thevDemocratic go knot on about to be bankrupt state. Lying tax cheating sob will be a great blue state governor.
Rauner fucked Unions for decades.
long time democrat voting all republican.........
november can't come soon enough
big pritzger and posse extravaganza at the local 150 hall in countryside 6:00 pm. second time. bands and great food. all welcome, room for thousands. but boss who is paying for all this? just shuddap and pay yer dues kid, yer workin aint ya? of all the demographics that support the D labors takin probably the biggest dickin next to the black folks. we really do need a third party in chiraq. according to previous threads on scc pritzkers hotels got a pass from the media when the hotel workers were on strike.all the other hotels were bad guys and turd boys money machine never got mentioned. disgusted in shitcago.
Stereotypical champagne socialist eager to save the little people from themselves with their money; how thoroughly 2010s Democrat of him. Personally, I don't care at all about labor, organized or not, because I'm an asshole engineer who fantasizes about a world consisting entirely of his own machines. But I'm also not a rich kid indulging my ego by running for office at other groups' expense, either. The hell of it is that since I'm no fan of chasing honest businesses out of state or overseas with terrible, shortsighted economic policies, God-Chancellor C++ would likely be a much better deal for the typical blue collar unionized tradesman than any of these left wing losers without even trying to be.
Have the plumbers showed up to JB’s house with that big black blow up rat yet?
He’s gonna play dum dum and say he didn’t no nuffin.

The President got a gift for all the back stabbing democrats before or shortly after the midterms......Blago !!! He hits the street and will be totally free to say what he wants. He had a few years to talk fun times for years. His hair will be dyed black again before he sets foot back in Illinois.
Elvis lives !!!!
So Unions should vote for Rauner? He already tried to get rid of unions and Collect Bargaining Agreements.
Just because your union sucks and doesn't support its own, doesn't mean other Unions work the same.
Would rather have Big boy as governor than Rauner any day.
You can get a job turned union (Big Boy).
Wants to get rid of skilled workforce begin trained through union apprenticeships (Rauner)
Always pick the Less of two evils boys and girls
Nothing prideful with our union anyway...
Vote Rauner rather than the Hippo.
I don't like JB Pritzker. The offshore stuff is incredibly damning to me.
But is there really any expectation that anyone would use union labor in a home renovation, even a multi-million dollar renovation? Does anyone do this?

I felt that the off shore stuff was incredibly damning. You would have thought other billionaires and millionaires would have thought of this tax shelter. Next you will be telling me congressmen and senators will be doing this or have been using these tax shelters
The big question is when he had the two toilets removed to make the 10 million home he purchased next door to make it inhabitable and save $331,000 in property taxes, did he us union plumbers
Uh, how else do you do a $50 million renovation for $25 million.

Easy-peasy! J.B. had da guys work twice as fast! He shrunk $50M to $25M tricky-quick!
