You wanted information, here it is

 

Brothers and Sisters, when I talk to a lot of you before and after the meetings and when you call me at home you want information.  Here’s your pipeline. Use it to learn and to post comments. Unlike DeJullis and the rest of the officers we really do welcome questions and criticism. We aren’t perfect and are learning too.  Our main goal is to learn and educate and we need your input. You are important to this site because this is also your site. Your platform to express your opinions and experiences. A forum to stand up and be heard. Let them hear your voice, let us, your supporters, hear your voice.  Silence through intimidation, is their most potent weapon and they use it to their full advantage. Disarm them, SPEAK OUT.

You want information here it is and there is more to be had. As we learn so will you. A good example for you is to go to the LM-2s on this site and compare the salaries, raises and expenses that they enjoy that comes from your hard earned money. The information contained in these reports should make you realize the arrogant and shameless attitudes and practices. Look at the salary of the past president for the years of 2004 and 2005, A $25,000,00 raise. Plus he received his $27,000.00 vehicle. Check out the meteoric raise in salary the controller received since 2001. More particularly check out her raises over the last couple of years.  Notice the fees that are paid to the lawyers and others. The monies spent on the officers three pensions and H&W as compared to what they pay for targeted jobs. Check the organized companies, the stationary companies that he is so proud to organize. Doesn’t matter if stationary contributes to the fund. The King will say we are all the same union. OK then if we are all the same union give us a comparable pension and make them contribute or get rid of the slushy thing. The FAT GET FATTER. Like trolls the rank and file are left to gnaw on bones, the bones they throw us after their banquet. Things are going to change, believe me. Things are already happening. Listen up, you’ll see and soon if not already.
