Daily News | Helen Gym’s campaign resolves dispute with union over Bernie Sanders rally
Michael Barnes, president of the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees Local 8 — which endorsed Gym’s opponent Jeff Brown for mayor — said in a statement that he spoke with Gym and that she offered to assist the union in resolving its dispute with the venue, the Franklin Music Hall in the city’s Callowhill section.
Barnes said neither his union nor the Building Trades and Construction Council, its umbrella union, would stage any sort of protest activity at the rally. A picket would have been problematic for Gym, Sanders, and, all progressives who have built their political identities around workers’ rights. “We reiterate that our public request to move her rally to a unionized performance venue was genuine and absolutely not a political stunt,” Barnes said. “We appreciated Ms. Gym’s outreach and candor.”But news of the detente did not come before other unions backing Gym’s rivals piled on.
