10 years Ago today

Jim McGough, Director of Laborers for JUSTICE, will publish information on events in LIUNA's past history, promises made to reform, newspaper articles of the time and compare what actually happened to what was supposed to happen. We will point out what was done , what should have done and wasn't, and judge people by their actions and not their words. Members are invited to report what happened to them years ago, promises made by DOJ, DOL, GEB Attorney Luskin, Inspector General Gow etc  to protect them and the actual results. McGough will tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth to educate members about their duties "to judge, direct and correct" the actions of those in power and to detect "spin" or what Laborers call "bullshit".
