    WHY:   Local 420, DC 37, AFSCME fight against the city's move to
           privatize the employees cafeteria at Coney Island Hospital
           by bringing in a franchise called Burger King.  The concern
           of James Butler President of Local 420 and AFSCME
           International Vice-President is the contracting out of
           services through the back door and nutritional issues by
           serving employees high calorie, fatty fast foods that have
           no place in a hospital.  James Butler vowed to keep
           boycotting until we send Mr. Burger King and his killer
           Whopper packing.

    WHO:   James Butler, President of Local 420 and AFSCME
