Real plumbers, are slamming the fake "JoeThe Plumber" big time.
With good reason.



The Plumbers Union is steaming over the news that Joe the Plumber has been
enlisted by groups opposed to the Employee Free Choice Act to campaign at a
number of Pennsylvania rallies against the measure.

A Plumbers Union official tells me that Joe is "selling out real plumbers."

I checked in with Rick Terven, the political and legislative director for
The United Association of Journeymen and Apprentices of the Plumbing and
Pipe Fitting Industry of the United States and Canada. (Sorry, I couldn't
resist sharing the full name.) He tore into his high-profile plumber
colleague as follows:

Joe the plumber is selling out real plumbers. Right now, labor law is
stacked against real plumbers. Real plumbers want and need the Employee
Free Choice Act as a way to empower themselves to join a union, without
fear of intimidation or losing their jobs. Joe the Plumber doesn't speak
for real plumbers.
