CUPE President Hides in Letter to Star

Political candidates are accountable to their electorate and are forced to be transparent or face wrath.
Union leaders are only accountable to union members, there is no expectation that they will be transparent, and they are are often not so.
This is the case in a letter this morning to The Star, in which a self-called "Toronto Hydro Worker" one "Bruno E. Silano" drops a load of inaccuracies on Mayor candidate, Jane Pitfield while lauding David Miller, the unionists buddy. To wit,
"The article concerning mayoral candidate Jane Pitfield's musings regarding the privatization of Toronto Hydro raises some very serious questions."
"What should also be of great concern to Toronto residents is Pitfield's backtracking response..."
"Mayor David Miller, on the other hand, understands the strategic importance of owning an electric utility."
"Miller knows this and that's why he's got my vote."

Any citizen is entitled to their opinion, and who they vote for. Mr. Silano, however is not just any citizen. He's President of Local One of the Canadian Union of Public Employees, and represents 1200 Hydro Workers. Not to mention that he is also a writer on the website for the Communist Party of Canada.

I can see why he feels the way he does.
