Union Boss Robert Ajaye Says Don't Rat, Then Flip-flops - Fashion News

To snitch or not to snitch on fellow employees? Don’t ask Robert Ajaye, president of Local 2627, the union for computer technicians in city agencies. Ajaye sent two directly contradictory video e-mails on the topic this week to his 4,600 members. “Don’t be a rat. Don’t drop dimes on people,” or you could wind up getting physically attacked, he warned in the first startling video, delivered on Monday. Ajaye did issue a video-taped email correction on Tuesday, referring to the prior video as “a mistake” that “wasn’t even supposed to go out.” “You have an obligation as an employee of the city of New York to report anything that you think illegal going on.” he said this time.
