Kerry Refuses to Cross Picket Line
Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry on Sunday canceled an appearance at the U.S. Conference of Mayors rather than cross a promised police union picket line at the event. "I donât cross picket lines. I never have," Kerry said as he left Mass Sunday night at Our Lady of Good Voyage chapel in South Boston. His decision came hours after Boston Mayor Thomas Menino called on Kerry to attend, calling the conference "an important event for urban America," and saying the pickets set up by the Boston Police Patrolmenâs Association and other union members did not constitute a legitimate picket line.This could get interesting if the same picket lines are still in place for the Democratic convention in July. Maybe Kerry will just phone it in like heâs doing in the Senate. Posted by: RWV 2004-06-28 |
