(New York Post) The fat cat union president exposed by The Post last week for sleeping on the job and scarfing down thousands of dollars in food on the rank-and-file’s dime was pushed from his cushy perch last night in a landslide vote.
Mark Rosenthal — a 400-pound labor heavyweight who had run municipal-workers union Local 983 for 15 years — was trounced by his challenger, Joseph Puleo, in a 371-165 vote.
Rosenthal seemed confident before the ballots were tallied, but was left stunned by the result.
“No, I’m sorry,” he said by phone, after sneaking quietly away from the polling place when it became clear the election was going against him. “I don’t have anything to say.”
