Below is the ad produced by the Chicago Federation of Labor that has been running on local television stations in recent weeks:
When the CFL announced plans for the ad campaign, leader Dennis Gannon drew a direct connection between the PR effort and reports that Mayor Daley is considering laying off some unionized city workers to help trim the Chicago's budget deficit:
"The public needs to know our people are out there, doing this work for the citizens," Gannon said. "People need to know the services will suffer if there are layoffs."
Interestingly enough, Gannon previewed the above ad, as well as a similar radio spot, at one of the Illinois DNC delegation's breakfast meetings last week. As with all the speakers, Mayor Daley introduced Gannon and was sitting barely a foot away from him during his remarks.
