Daley doesn't want hearings on minority hiring in city jobs BY FRAN SPIELMAN, Chicago Sun Times
Kaderbek is in the mayor's doghouse for allowing a pair of Carpenters Union honchos to get their apparently unqualified kids -- ages 19 and 23 -- into building inspector jobs without verifying their resumes.
'It was a bad decision by my commissioner. That's all it was,' the mayor said.
The last thing Daley wants is for the scandal to trigger a broader discussion about city hiring that aldermen have long complained is heavily tilted toward clout-heavy union leaders and the Daley-controlled Hispanic Democratic Organization (HDO).
That's apparently why, when asked about the shortage of blacks and Hispanics in union apprentice programs, Daley turned the tables on the news media.
'We're fighting that. I mean, I don't see too many people [of color] in your business, either,' he said.------------------------------------------- posted 5:50 AM :: reference link ::
