Mayor de Blasio is the hidden hand behind the contentious campaign to boot his most outspoken critic as head of the PBA, the union's treasurer charged in a fiery Facebook post.
Joseph Alejandro said that Hizzoner sicced public-relations big shot George Shea on PBA president Patrick Lynch, and that Shea was carrying the mayor's water because of his ties to de Blasio's supporters in the real-estate industry.
"George Shea is the p.r. guy for [PBA rival Brian] Fusco and is also the shill for Mayor de Blasio's real-estate friends. He also directly represents the mayor, through his representation of the Hudson Yards Development Corp.," Alejandro wrote in a post Thursday.
"So the mayor, who was embarrassed by the PBA, has asked his real-estate buddies to attack the PBA. Those buddies came up with Shea to represent the Fusco team and help them raise the money," he wrote.
But Shea, reached while on vacation in Florida, scoffed at the charge, saying he hasn't represented Hudson Yards since 2009.
He said that they are only mentioned on his firm's site — which Alejandro linked to on his Facebook post — because the list includes past and current clients.
"I haven't repped them for six years, and it was under [Mayor] Bloomberg. It's laughably silly and shows [Lynch's] obvious frustration and desperation to target a p.r. man," he told The Post.
Alejandro replied: "There is no shelf life to business contacts, particularly when there is a chance of more business in the future. I firmly believe that the connection between the de Blasio administration and Shea Communications is no coincidence and that it is a clear indication of the de Blasio administration's attempt to interfere in PBA union politics."
Lynch angered de Blasio with his incendiary comments following the assassination of two NYPD cops in Brooklyn, saying Hizzoner had "blood on his hands."
The PBA boss also accused the mayor of throwing New York's Finest "under the bus" for his criticism of policing practices during and after his mayoral campaign.
Alejandro charged on Facebook that de Blasio persuaded his supporters to hire Shea to ensure that Lynch loses to the challenger in the acrimonious campaign.
The PBA is also the only union among the five in the NYPD that has not reached a contract deal with the de Blasio administration, meaning the members have been without raises for five years.
