Roger Gets His Party On

2006_04_toussaintshades.jpgEven if you're going to jail for ten days (or less), you need to cut loose. Which is what Transport Workers Union leader Roger Toussaint did last night - he held a party, complete with DJ and tons of food at the Local 1199 headquarters. The Post's reporter sneaked in to observe the fun, hear Toussaint say, "Now I'm going on vacation," and see him dance, before being kicked out. The party started at 6:30PM and ended around 10:30PM and t's unclear who is paying for the party. Well, when the TWU has to pay $2.5 million in fines, plus not receive over $1.5 million in membership dues for at least three months, what's a couple thousand?
