From the New York Post:
Labor big a real heavy sleeper
Union fat cat Mark Rosenthal spends more time sleeping at his desk than organizing labor, a series of damning photos reveals.
The 400-pound president of Local 983 of District Council 37 - the city's largest blue-collar municipal-workers union - often downs a huge meal, then drops into dreamland in the early afternoon, members of the union's executive board told The Post.
"He eats lunch when he arrives at work at 2 p.m. Then, like clockwork, he goes to sleep with a cup of soda on the table and the straw in it," said Marvin Robbins, a union vice president.
"Then he wakes up, looks at his watch and says, "I have to get out before the traffic gets bad." He's usually out by 4 p.m. after being at the office two hours."
Rosenthal is a former Parks Department employee who rose to power campaigning to rid the union of corruption in the late 1990s.
Base salary of $156,000 and perks up the yin-yang. The photos are disgusting -- the guy is not ill, he just seriously overeats and doesn't do anything physical except walk to his chauffeured car.
