The Republican National Convention doesn't begin for six weeks, but starting today, hundreds of cops, firefighters and teachers are expected to surround Madison Square Garden in a round-the-clock informational picket demanding higher wages.
Cops and firefighters have been working without a contract for two years; teachers have been without a contract for a year. "We are taking advantage of the opportunity . . . to underscore how poorly those heroes have been treated by New York," said Patrolmen's Benevolent Society President Pat Lynch.
