Greetings: Is anyone paying attention to our business manager, because IF your not we are in for a world of trouble. On page four of the Buckeye Engineer November 2005 issue he has made it clear that he does not have a clue on how to perform his duties: Regarding other craft unions breaking away and splintering off, we are attempting to obtain some understanding regarding our jurisdiction.

 

How dare this Rat Bastard write in a our Union newsletter that he is ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN SOME UNDERSTANDING REGARDING OUR JURISDICTION.

 

First off you Rat Fk: You already stated the question- is our jurisdiction. Well, you answered the question, its our jurisdiction. End of question.

 

IF he opens talks as he reports with Carpenters and Electricians they will take it as a sign of weakness and that is all they need.

 

I have thrown electricians off our equipment and I have walked into the carpenters shanty and called them RAT BASTARDS and kept them from even thinking about such nonsense.

 

Just because a few International general president have taken their organization out of the AFL-CIO, that action has no bearing what so ever on our jurisdiction. Unless you invite them in to discuss the issue. Thank GOD for ball bats.

 

The many years of STRIKES, BLOODSHED and DEATHS must not/ever be negotiated away. I have never heard of a 10K hearing and we have enough money/men with balls and the work is ours. So end of talk.

 

Further ink wrote "we" can work to try and build coalitions locally. Fken "A", I did that Saturday before last at the Morse Road Wal Mart with the UFCW 1059 at 614-237-7671.

 

I was late by a few minutes and was told COPS had already been called, within minutes a CPD Officer read us the riot act and as he was talking the store manager tried time and again to stop Officer, finally the Officer walked off with the manager, only to return in a few minutes to tell us: The same WAL MART official that ordered us off the property and who had called the CPD, now says he called the main office and they told him to allow us to stay as long as we wanted. A first in the fight to expose WAL MART. I was only Local 18 member present and I was there as a Member of Daves Dirty Rat Bastards Hunting Club.

 

So there is a lot of talk about building coalitions but I never see it, at State House few weeks back was major Rally of Union's, once again the only Local 18 Member present. This past Sunday at the IBEW Hall political rally and only OE present.

 

But, when it comes to NOT protecting our JOBS, JURISDICTION, Health and Pension Fund income, SINK & Company gotta make deals. AND IN FEW WEEKS WE MUST ASK WHY. Same as with the Cleveland Laborers who gave them access to their phones during our last General Officers Elections. Now since Election FRAUD Complaints are filed, receipts are being shone where they paid for use of the Hall, I think we will have to wait and see what the Justice Department thinks about that.

 

First: IF your the business manager of a huge Local Union, you never show weakness, you keep your secrets and you never screw a Brother or Sister OE and ink just does not get it. His showing us this while we wait on the International executive board to issue their ruling on the Election Complaints shows this OE that he is thinking like Bush, also a man who thinks he is untouchable. Me thinks not.

 

Also, he reminds me of the time Gardner was crying out at the January executive board meeting he was afraid of Hoffa because he had been raiding Hoffa's trucks and putting our apprentices on them. I never thought it was the taking of the trucks but rather the low scale being paid our newest members was the crime. Now to entertain talks of giving away our jurisdiction, where is the outrage from our Rank & File. Dave
