From the Daily News:Mayor Bloomberg ruffled feathers by bowing out of the forum sponsored by Teamsters Local 237, citing a scheduling conflict.
Union stalwarts said they suspected he was avoiding an awkward appearance before Housing Authority workers who've been without a contract since December.
Union president Gregory Floyd said he was surprised to learn Bloomberg had time Saturday for a campaign event in the Bronx.
"Maybe he thought that was more important than coming here," Floyd said. "Our membership ... wanted to hear from him and it's a missed opportunity on his part to not speak to our members."
Funniest part of the article:
[Gioia] told the mostly blue-collar workers for the Housing Authority and other agencies that Green's comments reminded him of "politicians who have given us so much BS it's hard to believe."
Sorry, Doorman, but it sounds like the pot's calling the kettle black here.

Did this Gregory Floyd actually want us to believe that the Commissar though that an appearance at the Teamsters' Forum was a business meeting? We all know that the forum was a political event. Is Floyd so naive that he doesn't know that the Commissar is ALWAYS campaigning. Always! So, the Commissar chose one political event over another. The Teamsters are not sacred!
Is Gioia still on food stamps? Filling his face on our dime? If so, that might explain his envy of Green's wealth.
No union should back this ass for mayor. He has special interest thru out the tri state and uses non union labor. Calling all union workers of all unions, speak out and tell everyone not to back this ass for mayor. Bloomturd backed out because he's afraid.
That chicken-liver Mayor Turd-shit can't stand criticism let alone the fire of a political battlefield!
Pompous lying coward!
VOTE THAT DIMINUTIVE BASTARD OUT!
(Ha, ha, ha...I'll bet those Teamsters would have beat him up for his lunch money).
Maybe they should start a movement:
"TEAMSTERS TO TOSS BLOOMBERG"!
Mayor Bum-turd isn't worried.
Albert Shanker's former squeeze Randy Weingarten will suck hizzoner's dick!
