If you've ever been in trouble for sleeping on the job, take heart: you can still achieve upward mobility in a local union.
Take, for instance, Mark Rosenthal, the president of Local 983 of District Council 37 in New York. Rosenthal makes $156,000 a year and apparently spends only two hours a day at work--much of that napping, according to his colleagues who spoke out to the New York Post.
Marvin Robbins, a union vice president, paints an unflattering portrait of his boss's routine: "He eats lunch when he arrives at work at 2 p.m. Then, like clockwork, he goes to sleep with a cup of soda on the table and the straw in it. Then he wakes up, looks at his watch and says, 'I have to get out before the traffic gets bad.' He's usually out by 4 p.m. after being at the office two hours."
The Post describes Local 983 as "the city's largest blue-collar municipal workers union." Rosenthal promised to fight corruption when he ran for its presidency in the late '90s. However, union officials allege he has abused his position to get many a free lunch. They estimate he expenses $1,400 a month on food, much of it from catered events and meals he claims are for "union business."
Rosenthal asserted to the Post that he works "12-to-14-hour days," and he claims these complaints are coming from supporters of his challenger as he faces reelection in early June.
He offered two more explanations: first, that executives often take "power naps," and second, that his naps are caused by pain pills he was prescribed after falling through a chair last year while eating at McDonald's.
"The chair broke because I'm big," Rosenthal argued. "I'm 60 years old, so if I eat during my lunch hour and take a little medication, can't I close my eyes? Is it so outrageous?"

If you pay union dues, this is what your money goes to:

For that kind of money he could at least have had some liposuction.
-
I"m glad I clicked on that link. After seeing that picture of him at work, I do believe he works 14 hours a day.

I don't know how
-
Likely, he sleeps during the day because he is sufficiently obese to almost automatically be worked up for obstructive sleep apnea. I bet a sleep study would reveal fragmented, extremely poor quality sleep
-
The plus side is that this union boss is too much of a sloth to cause much harm as opposed to more energetic thugs, like the Hoffas.

I'd like to see a Sumo match between the 2.

No comment except that I like Spiraling Leopard's sumo idea.

Although rosenthal has a weight advantage, christy is likely to be more 'fit' from his continuous efforts to lick obama's backside.
-
This is a very cheeky guy. He only eats and sleeps an gets 150000. You see in leftist organizations you don't have to work, you have to be red only. Ha ha ha

My Gosh, its another Chris Christie...Although now Christie is loosing weight, so he can run for President and complete Hussein Obama's agenda, since Hussein is becoming a lame Duck.

Rosenthal asserted to the Post that he works "12-to-14-hour days,"
I think this is a typo..... or mistake...... 12-14 hours a month seems more like it.
About like oBumma's work schedule.
