A few weeks into Boston Mayor Marty Walsh’s first term, he was asked to identify the main difference between his new job and his 13 years in the House.

“Oh my gawd, the decisions,” he said. “In the Legislature, maybe you take a half dozen big ones a session. Here, you do that before lunch.”

Now Walsh may face the biggest decision of all - to seek a third term as mayor, or accept a potential offer from President-elect Joe Biden to become secretary of labor.

The buzz about Biden bringing his old friend into the cabinet has been building for awhile, even as Walsh continued to pile up campaign funds and $18,000 monthly payments to heavyweight New York consulting firm SKDK surfaced in his campaign finance statements. And last week, Politico reported Walsh was Biden’s preferred choice, a call complicated by pressure to choose a candidate of color. (https://www.politico.com/news/2020/12/23/biden-labor-secretary-diversity-pressure-450237)

Publicly, Walsh says he’s flattered but is focused on dealing with the pandemic. Privately, sources close to him tell MASSterList, he’s told the Biden camp they shouldn’t feel obligated to offer him the job.

But the pros and cons of Walsh’s decision-making process aren’t hard to dope out. For every pro the cabinet post offers, there are cons that speak to the public record of who Marty Walsh is.

As secretary of labor, this devout union man would be at the front lines of a Herculean task - cleaning out the Augean stables left behind by Trump-era Secretary Eugene Scalia, who has assiduously trashed a slew of worker protections and gelded the federal Occupational Health and Safety Administration. Walsh would oversee a $9 billion budget and more than 15,000 full-time employees. And he would enjoy the perks of a cabinet post, including extensive travel, D.C. cachet and regular national-TV face time.

Not bad for a working-class kid from Savin Hill who repeated the fifth grade, didn’t get his college degree until age 42, and, by his own account, was perceived as an obscure backbencher during 16 years in the Legislature.

But Walsh already gets all the CNN face time he wants. He is not much into junkets. The heavy lifting of undoing Scalia’s wreckage will be done by lawyers, not by the face-to-face cajoling Walsh prefers. And it’s hard to believe he would relish the D.C. grind away from family and lifelong friends.

Most importantly, as you will learn if you sit through Frederick Wiseman’s four-hour ode to Walsh’s tenacity and empathy, the new documentary “City Hall,” a move to Washington will leave him doing less - not more - of what he loves best: the hands-on application of power to improve people’s lives.

If that’s what turns you on, there’s no better job in politics than big-city mayor. As much as Walsh cares about worker’s rights and the labor movement, other candidates under consideration by Biden can, and will, pursue the same goals with equal vigor. But with all due respect to the impressive skills of City Council President Kim Janey, who would become acting mayor of he leaves, and 2021 mayoral candidates Michelle Wu and Andrea Campbell, taking a cabinet post would mean walking away from his dream job at a moment of pandemic-created crisis for the city.

That doesn’t sound like the Walsh style. Chances are you’re going to have Marty to kick around for awhile longer.

El gremio restaurantero se encuentra en una situación muy crítica y piden al Gobierno de la Ciudad de México medidas para sobrevivir, ya no para resarcir pérdidas.

En el espacio de Joaquín López-Dóriga de Radio Fórmula, Francisco Fernández, presidente de la Cámara Nacional de la Industria de Restaurantes y Alimentos Condimentados (Canirac), señaló que buscan que las medidas los ayuden a atravesar este momento de crisis.

“Esperamos que hoy haya una respuesta afirmativa y que se trate, por lo menos, de sobrevivir, porque ya no se trata de ganar, únicamente de sobrevivir, no tratamos ya de resarcir pérdidas”, señaló.

 

Reveló que la Canirac representa a 600 mil agremiados, que generan 2 millones de empleos de manera directa y 3.5 indirectos.

Sin embargo, debido a la pandemia, se perdió el 20 por ciento del empleo y el 15 por ciento de los restaurantes cerró.

“Hablamos de hogares, no de números. Estamos hablando de hogares que se quedan sin ingresos y sin empleos. Eso es una tragedia”, dijo.

 

Señaló que han propuesto a las autoridades algunas medidas para continuar operando, tales como la reducción de horarios, de aforos y de añadir un día más cierre a la semana porque lo que buscan es una posición intermedia.

“Les propusimos disminuir a 25 por ciento el aforo, dejar de trabajar los lunes, disminuir los horarios porque sentimos que es una posición intermedia que nos permitirá abrir”, apuntó.
