The Oregon Pension fund scandal: The question that should be asked is:
1. How did the Oregon debacle occur when the union was under oversight via the LIUNA/DOJ approved "Operating Agreement" ???
Also:
2. The fact that Wall, Cooksey, Manos, & Nobili were abandoned by Luskin/
DOJ etc. is a good example of abandonment.

GEB Attorney Luskin and Inspector General Gow on top of Oregon Fraud
Published Links to U.S. Attorney Press releases in anticipation of press release on indictment  of some former and present LIUNA officials, some for racketeering, some for LMRDA violations-all enemies of Crimedawg and honest laborers. If the Federal grand juries will not indict, eager beaver Republican States Attorneys in counties surrounding Cook will obtain them.  Sad to say, but the U.S. Attorney's office for Northern Illinois does not have a web site. Sad but not surprising.

Explanation of why reform in LIUNA is "a farce, a fraud, and a sham" via confidential memo to U.S. Attorney and Chicago District Council Court Monitor which also explains for the LIUNA Election officer why Robert "Bobby count the money" Bloch, Randy Dalton, Frank Riley and James Connolly are guilty of conspiring to unconstitutionally and unethically deprive me of my rights under LIUNA's constitution and the LMRDA.

The protest will be held in abeyance until October 20, 2000. If the International approves McGough's transfer, the protest will be dismissed as moot. If McGough's transfer is denied, or if the International takes no action by October 20, 2000, the protest will be returned to the active docket, investigated, and ruled on.

Law Review Article Offers Reforms to Combat Union Corruption

McGough election protest against retaliation by Robert Bloch, Randy Dalton, James Connolly, Frank Riley for exercise of LMRDA rights and constitutional right to transfer into any damn local I want to transfer into to promote union democracy and eliminate corrupt LIUNA leaders and practices, something the cowards on the district council and LIUNA's General Executive Board did not have the "balls" to do.

CrimeDawg letter to LIUNA general president O'Sullivan re transfer and "retaliation"

Ganbox's observation on meaning of indictment for union members. Required reading by those in charge of prosecuting corruption.

CrimeDawg's "Bookie" reports Vegas line is now 1050 to 1 that GEB Attorney will seek to extend trusteeship of Local 2 and that odds are 1:5 to 2 that a crony of either Riley or Connolly will be installed in a position to give him the benefit of incumbency in the eventual election. Kelly, former officer of local 4 and Connolly friend, will do Connolly's bidding as will O'Sullivan and others that do not want to be weaned from the cash cow..

Retraction #3 Dave Turdic, District Council organizer appointed by Riley , was reported  to be Riley's nephew. My mistake, Dave Turdic is Riley's brother in law . How silly of me is assume nepotism only ran in blood lines. When is LIUNA going to operate based on the principle of meritocracy and not mediocrity. Suggest Readers reread Draft RICO complaint on nepotism and on constitutional measures organized crime employs to keep friends, cronies ,and mob puppets in office.

"Independent??? counsel" to local 152  submits whitewash report that absolves Mike Lazzaretto and LU 152's executive board and deprives them of opportunity to defend local in its capacity as counsel to LU 152, Fox guarding the chicken coop? Defense counsel posing  as prosecution attorney on same matter he was paid to defend against?  Reminds me of the defense attorney  who wrote the agreement creating his job as prosecutor, giving him complete control over extent and breath of investigation. Somewhere I recall an ethics book that said lawyers should not write contracts or wills for their clients wherein they are named as beneficiaries. Local 152 members vote with James Howard dissenting against seeking recovery of $45,000 in lost interest on embezzled money. LIUNA reform is as real as this

Innocent secretary at local 2 fired in political warfare despite promise from LIUNA GEB Attorney she would not be fired without just cause. More later on this despicable behavior by new local 2 trustee, Randy Dalton, who replaced "Labor Man of the year" Joe Romano and who, as predicted by Crimedawg, brought in someone from local 4 to protect Connolly's interests.

Meeting with counsel today on proposed RICO suit against Chicago District Council Delegates who were not named as defendants in prior RICO suit against Chicago district Council.

Published Bloch and Schippers letters that denied Crimedawg's transfer into local 2 in May 1999. Policy then was receiving local had to accept. That policy was adhered to in August 2000 when Trustee Romano accepted McGough's transfer. 

Salerno, who was asked in 1997 to go from local 152 (aka "Lazzaretto State Bank") to trusteed local 225 as assistant trustee was just denied a transfer back into local 152, having lost his election in 225. Moral of today's stories-

1. Don't trust anyone to keep their word if they are paid to eliminate corruption in LIUNA. (LIUNA IG and DOL_OIG agents excepted)
2. Don't volunteer to help clean up corruption in LIUNA unless you are willing to play hardball with the thugs in charge. "Get a mitt and get in the game"
3. Don't expect any help from the U.S. Department of Justice
4. Don't expect anyone to come to your rescue if you are not willing to go to theirs. If it can happen to them, it can happen to you.
5. There are two viable ways to restore union democracy and eliminate corruption in LIUNA
   1. Electorally-Vote the bums out of office
   2. Via LMRDA and RICO lawsuits after pleading futility with the existing apparatus and procedures

Information is provided on this web site to educate delegates to the district council who were either too stupid to realize organized crime controlled the laborers union or too cowardly to do anything about it. It is a matter of public record that the webmaster, who has been a member of LIUNA since 1984, has been complaining to DOL since 1987. It took 11 years to place the district council in trusteeship. It will take another 2 to amalgamate 21 locals down to 10 and get rid of all the business managers who do not enforce the collective bargaining agreements, who do not fight for the rank and file members, who do not get off their ass to organize the unorganized, and who do not educate their members about their rights and responsibilities as union members.

Sladowski relieved this morning by new local 2 Trustee Dalton of any further duties at local 2. Ed was going to assist Romano in conducting a free, fair and democratic  election in local 2 as soon as possible. What the hell does Dalton know about free, fair, and democratic elections-never having experienced one? Randy Dalton, in the opinion of CrimeDawg, is an "uneducated dolt" and does not in any way, shape, or form stack up against either Romano or Sladowski. If Dalton is the best the district council has to offer, the Laborers union is in worse shape than we feared. Retrograde is too charitable a word to describe Dalton's appointment. Are new screensavers in store for local 2 computers?

Chicago Tribune pays tribute to Joe Romano, Labor Leader, not Labor Lawyer , and covers controversy surrounding his dismissal which CrimeDawg will explain in detail today and tomorrow in his expose of why "the reform of the Laborers Union" is a "Farce, a Fraud, and a Sham"

In the process, he might even inform the members (especially the new ones) of the Ethics code and the Ethics and disciplinary procedure.
