No one cries for the poor plumber (who only makes $2,400 per week – plus benefits)
Attention must be paid!
New England Patriots QB/QT – and fledgling real estate flipper – Tom Brady is under fire by the Plumbers & Gasfitters Union who want their brothers on the job at Brady’s Beacon Street rehab installing all of the bowls – Super or otherwise!
We’re not going to any Pats games until he builds union,” said Francis Jensen of Local 12, who with about a half-dozen of his brethren threw up an informational picket line in front of No. 12’s Back Bay condo yesterday.
Added union captain Tom Koney: “Here’s a guy who gets paid millions for what he does but he doesn’t believe in paying plumbers a decent wage.”
The picket line was aimed at flushing out Tom’s plumbing contractor A&K Plumbing of Revere which, the plumbers say, doesn’t pay the “established community standard” wage of $61.75 an hour plus benefits and does not employ any women or minorities. A&K was put in the Brady pipeline by the general contractor, Boston’s Metric Corp.
That Tom Brady – doesn’t he care a bit about the regular guy???
