WASHINGTON—Steering clear of a messy labor dispute, the White House on Friday said Vice President Joe Biden and other members of President Barack Obama’s Cabinet have scrapped plans to attend a national mayors’ conference in Providence rather than cross a picket line of city firefighters.
In a statement to The Associated Press, presidential spokesman Robert Gibbs said the Obama administration will redouble its efforts to work with the nation’s mayors in other ways. That includes a fresh invitation for the mayors to come to the White House.
