Speculation in the New York Post that former Mayor Bill de Blasio and former Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney were both angling to succeed outgoing U.S. Secretary Marty Walsh was received with a mix of laughter and outright disdain during an informal survey of several New York City union leaders.
According to the website Daily Faceoff, Walsh was offered the executive directorship of the National Hockey League Hockey Players Association. Calls to the U.S. Department of Labor were not returned and there was no statement on the DOL's website confirming the story although Politico and Bloomberg reported his departure.
