Mayor Lori Lightfoot was booed at a fundraiser Sunday for Plumbers Union Local 130, the first union to endorse her in the 2019 runoff election against Toni Preckwinkle.
One attendee, who asked to remain anonymous, described Lightfoot as having been “booed off the stage” at the annual event at Plumbers Hall, 1340 W. Washington St., to raise money for Local 130’s political action committee — though a union official disputed that account.
The person requesting anonymity said Lightfoot “spoke for less than a minute. And there was a resounding booing throughout the room. Almost deafening, ... I was sitting at the table with a bunch of plumbers. They’re like, `We’ve never heard that before here.’ … Clearly, their membership is not with her. ... They were calling her names. It was bad.”

When the plumbers think you stink...
Union President Jim Majerowicz said he was downstairs counting money for the football pool when Lightfoot took the stage.
Avoid those Nurse Ratched type personalities whenever possible. They can be like hissing Cobras!
“Hey what stinks in here ?”
“Lightfoot”
That story is from 2019 runoff campaign?
All of that booing must have been coming from Chicago Police F.O.P. Lodge 7, which is right next door to the Plumbers Hall.
The headline is a mess. It’s referring to the first Union that backed her back in 2019. It’s present-day news.
