0 Former Chicago Mayor Jane Bryne - FIRED UP FOR JANE - Jane Bryne and the Chicago Fire Department - Chicago Fire Fighters Union Local 2 "1980" strike chairman Bill Kugelman

A former Chicago firefighter, who once detested Mayor Jane Byrne for reneging on a promise that ignited the city’s only firemen’s strike (which began Valentine’s Day, 1980) — is now willing to climb a ladder for her.

◆ Translation: A letter from former Chicago Fire Fighters Union Local 2 strike chairman Bill Kugelman was prompted by Sneed’s recent series on Byrne, whose legacy lacks a fitting monument to Chicago’s only female mayor.

Kugelman’s message supporting a memorial to Byrne was dispatched to Sneed days before the ratification this week of a five-year union contract for Chicago firefighters and paramedics, who will get more than $20 million in back pay.
