The Center for Union Facts landed a letter in the Boston Globe this morning, challenging one celebrity’s journey into labor politics:
It is truly inspirational that Ben Affleck took a break from his intense schedule of Sox games and celebrity poker tournaments to help Service Employees International Union officials unionize Boston’s teaching hospitals (“Affleck stumps for hospital workers,” Oct. 17). Considering Affleck’s “fantastic” track record, which includes being the lead celebrity stumper for Senator Kerry’s failed presidential bid and starring in “Gigli,” the biggest blockbuster bust this millennium, the SEIU should reconsider its casting.
