STEWARD FOR THE" MOBBED UP"CARPENTERS UNION PLEADS GUILTY

Michael Brennan, steward for mobbed-up carpenters union, pleads guilty

BY Robert Gearty DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER

A shop steward for the mobbed-up carpenters union pleaded guilty Tuesday to letting a contractor-turned-informant defraud the union in exchange for $100,000 in bribes.

Michael Brennan was indicted last August on federal racketeering charges, as were District Council of Carpenters head Michael Forde and eight others.

Brennan is the fourth shop steward to plead guilty in the case. Drywall contractor Finbar O'Neill, a reputed Luchese crime family associate, has also pleaded guilty.

Forde goes to trial Sept. 7, along with two top union leaders, a shop steward and a benefits trustee. Brennan, 54, who entered the plea in Manhattan Federal Court, faces a prison sentence of 70 to 87 months. The sentencing date is Oct. 27.

As part of the plea, Brennan also agreed to forfeit the $100,000 he got in bribes.

Prosecutors said the bribes to Brennan benefitted drywall contractor On Par Contracting. Last August, the Daily News reported that On Par owner James Murray had emerged from hiding after three years on the lam and was helping the feds.

Yesterday, prosecutor Mark Lanpher confirmed that Murray was a key government witness.

dear mr.contractor. Are you aware of the corruption??

you do not have to worry about us leaking anything to the press. you have to worry about our organized campaign to inform signatory contractors and potential signatory contractors. perhaps if they refuse to do business with those who defrauded the members and the funds you will clean house

     its time for mw zander and other contractors to have a close look at the funds all carpentry workers on the global site are being extorted to pay into. its time for all signatory contractors to start asking questions on behalf of their employees

 two carpenters critics vindicated

association for union democracy review march/April 2010

"for at least 5 years, two carpenters of local 370 in new York have been writing to their international president, Douglas McCarron, warning him of all kinds of problems at the carpenters' empire state regional council, and nothing happened" read it here

time to get off the pot mr.spencer

“I want every Carpenters member throughout the state to know that we understand the devastating financial impact that this situation has had on them and their families,”Spencer said.“We are exploring every avenue possible in getting this resolved.”

while we understand the corruption in the empire council is deep and complex it is time to make a statement detailing what further actions have been taken in the supervision. This is June frank. this is June and the upstate carpenters have been given NO RELIEF. this is june and weir and blacklock are up to the same old bs. (soon we will discuss the long bumpy road from safway services to global foundries.) it is June and david haines, who refused to testify for the benefit of the membership, is still in office. this is june and none of the morin cronies have been held accountable

question:  were two reps  who testified against haines pal patty morin at the hearings recently fired???

  patrick morin would have not been able to destroy the future of so many members without the support and collusion of his minions. these jackass, who in April were counting their days and hiring personal lawyers in anticipation of legal actions, are now back in their pompous arrogant wind bag mode. Every day the UBC does not act makes these low life more embolden and we rank and file are again forced to be victims of many whom the UBC itself has accused of financial irregularities, conspiring to defraud the membership, conspiring to defraud other trustees and conspiring to defraud the funds.

how much longer do you insist we endure the smirks and abuse of some arrogant little punks while you do nothing. here is a hint. not much longer

 nyc district council falls. another mccarron ubc council crumbles under a cloud of corruption

spencer and mcCarron hand over nyc district council to the us attorneys special review officer. consent decree judge haight removes himself

the council is to be run outside the ubc constitution. the review officer will qualify all candidates for office. the review officer will rewrite and impose new election rules and guidelines. the review officer is given control of the district council funds. the review officer and the us attorney has declared all local nyc members are now members of the district council and not affiliates as McCarron has repeatedly declared. how will these actions negate our obligations to the ubc constitution read the details at local157blogspot.com

YES.WE ARE CORRUPT THEIVES WHO ROB AND STEAL FROM OUR OWN MEMBERSHIP BUT... DONT YOU TELL ANYBODY!!!YOU WILL HURT OUR ORGANIZING EFFORTS.

WE WONT BE ABLE TO DEFRAUD POTENTIAL SIGNATORYS OR CON potential apprentices bearing state grant money IF YOU TELL THEM THE TRUTH.

WE ARE NOT GOING TO STOP BEING corrupt elements WHO LIE,CHEAT AND STEAL from the membership..WE ARE JUST GOING TO INSIST ask that YOU DONT TELL ANYBODY.WE ARE NOT HURTING OUR MEMBERSHIP BY BEING CORRUPT THEIVES AND SCREWING OUR MEMBERS. YOUR HURTING THE MEMBERSHIP IF YOU DO NOT LIE AND SUPPORT OUR CORRUPTION BY NOT EXPOSING US.

 EVEN IN THE MIDDLE OF A supervision WE ARE STILL AT IT. as about the sheet rock convention attended in las vegas with my buddy greco. this just days after being removed as a fund trustee under allegations of financial irregularities and defrauding the membership.

Shake-up in leaders of union for carpenters

By Matt Glynn

NEWS BUSINESS REPORTER

Financial fallout from the Bernard L. Madoff investment scandal has resulted in a leadership shake-up at a statewide unionized-carpenters organization that lost money in the Ponzi scheme.

The United Brotherhood of Carpenters, based in Washington, D. C., has placed the statewide organization, the Empire State Regional Council of Carpenters, under supervision.

The UBC said its investigation continues into how losses stemming from the Madoff scandal were allocated to members of the Empire Council and what can be done for individual carpenters who have felt the financial impact.

Among several changes, it removed Patrick B. Morin as the Empire Council’s executive secretary and treasurer, and appointed the UBC’s Eastern District vice president, Frank Spencer, to supervise the council.

The UBC in late March held closed-door hearings in Albany on allegations that the Empire Council unfairly burdened its upstate members with millions of dollars in investment losses stemming from Madoff’s Ponzi scheme. An investment adviser working with the Empire Council had placed money with Madoff.

The total losses to the Empire Council’s pension, annuity and health funds were estimated at more than $160 million.

Controversy erupted over how those losses were distributed. Upstate members complained they were disproportionately saddled with the losses, even though Upstate New York Carpenters’ annuity, pension and health funds had been merged with the Empire Council’s funds before the fraud was uncovered.

The Empire Council says it has 15,000 members in a statewide territory that excludes New York City. Its affiliates include Cheektowaga-based Local 289, which has 1,400 members.

“I want every Carpenters member throughout the state to know that we understand the devastating financial impact that this situation has had on them and their families,” Spencer said. “We are exploring every avenue possible in getting this resolved.”

Along with Morin’s removal, all labor trustees of the Empire funds were removed, and the Empire Council’s executive board was dissolved, said Scott Widmeyer, a UBC spokesman. The law firm representing the Empire Council was removed and replaced by a firm that works with the UBC.

Widmeyer said the changes at the Empire Council were enacted “because of the inappropriate nature of what developed with respect to the Empire Council and its trust funds.”

As for what might be done about unionized workers’ diminished pension, annuity and health funds, Widmeyer said work continues on that issue.

Additional teams of actuaries and accountants have been brought in to take a “deeper look” at the situation and explore potential solutions, he said. “The analysis and the investigating is ongoing,” he added. read it here

Unions Drown Out the Rat

Benjamin Norman for The Wall Street Journal

Remember "The Rat," that giant, inglorious inflatable rodent who appeared at construction sites throughout the city to taunt and humiliate companies that were using nonunion labor? Well, the rat is deflated, deceased. Gone. Finished. Kaput. At least as far as Local 2870 of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America is concerned.

"Our rats are tucked away in storage," reported William Peters, an organizer with the local. "We probably have four or five on hand." He said the rat was a turnoff from the point of view of the general public. "As soon as they saw the rat, they'd throw their hands up. They don't want to know what the problem is.".....MORE

NOW CAN WE GET RID OF THE DUMB ASS ORGANIZERS WITH SUBSTANDARD IQs WHO STILL INSIST THAT THE RAT IS "COOL"?

Carpenters: The Mob's Union

Two decades later, the feds are still trying to clean up carpenters' dirt

By Tom Robbins Tuesday, May 25 2010

read it here

AND HERE

why is this important to us? how deep were these "indicted" players in the pockets of the empire council. if the feds have been trying for 20 years how far can spencer really go

He grew close to Joseph "Rudy" Olivieri, director of the city's largest contractors' association, the Wall-Ceiling & Carpentry Industries of New York. Murray loaned Olivieri $730,000, according to prosecutors, and gave him lucrative work on his projects. Olivieri took his own orders from mob higher-ups. In 2000, an FBI agent sitting in a Bronx bar overheard Olivieri and Louis Moscatiello, a Genovese crime family official charged with overseeing his group's construction rackets: "Forde wants somebody," Moscatiello said, in apparent reference to the union chief. "Get it done as fast as possible. Last August the feds indicted Olivieri"

 

Joseph "Rudy" Olivieri at the time he was indicted was also the chairman of the Empire Council Welfare Fund

Wall-Ceiling & Carpentry Industries is listed on the LM 30s(to declare income or other economic benefits from employers)  for many Empire Council officers for "Meals and Entertainment, including Golf, in the ordinary course of Business relating to Fund mergers, PLAs and etc. These include Kevin Hicks, Jack Simmons,Patrick Morin, John Fuchs and Mike Conroy to name a few.

set up an empire council hotline for affiliated locals similar to the one in place at the nycdcc

As you are conducting interviews please set up an information hotline for the members of affiliated locals. let your affiliated members help you clean up the mess at the empire council. give them the ability to report knowledge of corruption and pertinent information you should be asking questions about during your interviews.

frank spencer responding to members!!!

despite the burden of the supervision spencer took the time to call my house and resolve my issue. he has made personal contact with other rank and file members as well. sound like a union???

check your annuity accounts.

anybody else have their admin expense taken 3 months  early??

hearing testimony not restricted. all members entitled to a copy

in a stinging rebuke weir was forced to give me the hearing testimony by spencer and glen.

so much for sowalskis opinion. despite crying and whining for 5 days Weir had to make me a copy. LOcal 370 forced me to take a paper copy and  charged me $49.22 which will be refunded. Other Locals are  giving them to members in a pdf file on disk at no cost. Anyone wishing a copy can contact me and get a copy of mine for copy cost or wait for the PDF file. The entire Testimony will be posted on site shortly

In a stunning reversal William Weir Declares "FRank spencer  does not run this local"

after conspiring with kevin hicks and little Patty Morin to give away local 370 Mr. Weir now claims the empire council(and specifically frank spencer)does not run local 370.Weir declares "you and your buddy can go"... what ever it means when you grab your crotch area and pretend you have testicles" We all know Bill Weir gave those to hicks and Morin years ago

despite mr.Spencer declaring that the March 30 and 31 testimony is not protected information and all members are entitled to a copy William Weir has now joined  sowalskis crusade. Weir now  refuses to give members documents the international has declared we have A right to. mr.weir has refused to contact mr.spencer to verify his declaration of our right to a copy of the hearing testimony. He now claims it is Benjamin Glen who says we cannot have a copy

Lets see William. Directly because of you

1.the empire council owns the deed to 1284 central ave

2.the empire council can fire everyone.  everywhere. except joann and Danielle.

3.the empire council can change the locks on the front door and take away your key

4.the empire council est is the only one who can seat or remove labor trustees on the local 370 pension fund and so we still have seated trustees accused of fraud and financial irregularities and weir is trying tom seat mike bruno

5.the empire council can take away all your salaries and pension contributions

6.the empire council can remove you and lock you out of your own office

7.read the sign out front of the union hall that now says empire state council 370

8.look at your credit cards, cell phones and expense accounts. the empire council can take those away from you in seconds.

9.and best but not last very soon the empire council will be taking your job

so tell us again how mr.spencer does not run local 370 and you william

eastern district international vp,new owner operator of the empire regional council and william weirs boss,mr. frank spencer, has declared "all ubc members have a right to copies of the march 30 and 31 hearing testimony"

"There were
questions on fund documents, minutes and financial records being withheld in
the past - he seemed shocked and stated that these members should have
access to these documents."

 

a blatant campaign to prevent members rights to a copy of the hearing testimony was thwarted by mr. spencer.

the new head of the empire council and International vp declared that he did not instruct anybody at anytime that copies of the hearing testimony are restricted and that the rank and file could not have a copy. this was the scam being run by a small minority of the local 370 officers. while not "demanding" anything mr.spencer "asked" only that all members should use the testimony wisely and not let it hamper attempts to rebuild the confidence in the empire regional council of carpenters

 it seems there is truth to mr.spencers promise that we will have the records and information we are entitled to from now on. this action by mr.spencer seems to indicate that he will respond to the rank and file when they are being victimized by pompous wind bags.

local 370 officers tried to use their elected positions to  force members to bow to their "opinions". as they once again engaged in their usual arrogance and pompous "dance of the peacocks" they got their feathers plucked. welcome to the winds of change boys.

let their actions speak volumes

let us watch as the actions of the international, during the empire council trusteeship, speak for the truth or lies in their promises

I am not easily fooled. That is not to say on occasion I am not a fool. I have my moments. Today I heard sincerity in the voice of the man who is to lead us out of the empire Council Corruption. Could there really be hope or am I just having a moment of weakness. What I can tell you is that when I reached out, in the midst of all the pressing duties of a trusteeship, I got an immediate response. I can tell you that if the positive change continues I could be persuaded that this is for real. however... years of abuse have left us jaded and suspicious. from local twit to council carpetbagger the only answer we ever got was "How Dare You Ask" NOT TODAY!!!

 

National Union Seizes State Offices

Carpenters leaders alleged wrongdoing by downstate officials

By ERIC ANDERSON BUSINESS EDITOR

 Thursday, May 13, 2010

ALBANY -- A statewide union representing hundreds of Capital Region carpenters has been taken over by the national union in the wake of heavy investment losses in the Bernard Madoff Ponzi scheme.

The takeover came less than a month after closed-door hearings in Albany into alleged improprieties at the Empire State Regional Council of Carpenters.

FIDUCIARY DUTY AND OWNING THE HOMES, BANK ACCOUNTS AND BONDS OF CLOWNS PRETENDING TO BE TRUSTEES

"With these fiduciary responsibilities, there is also potential liability. Fiduciaries who do not follow the basic standards of conduct may be personally liable to restore any losses to the plan, or to restore any profits made through improper use of the plan’s assets resulting from their actions." ERISA

        MR WEIR AND CAROPRESSO.. what a joke it is for you two council shills to be worried about your "fiduciary duty" NOW. here IS THE dol guide SO YOU TWO CAN  HAVE A CLUE WHAT fiduciary duty ACTUALLY IS, your LEGAL LIBILITY AND OUR RIGHT TO SUE YOUR ASS. still LAUGHING??

 Meeting Your Fiduciary Responsibilities

 

Diversification – another key fiduciary duty – helps to minimize the risk of large investment losses to the plan.

 Bonding -As an additional protection for plans, those who handle plan funds or other plan property generally must be covered by a fidelity bond. A fidelity bond is a type of insurance that protects the plan against loss resulting from fraudulent or dishonest acts of those covered by the bond.

UPDATE:PRESIDENT WEIR CLAIMS CAROPRESSO IS THE CHAIRMAN OF OUR PENSION FUND!!!!

ARE YOU JOKING ME.THIS COUNCIL SHILL IS CHAIRMAN??APPOINTED BY WHO???I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW HE EVEN QUALIFIES AS A TRUSTEE.NOW WE KNOW WHY THE ACCUSED HAVE NOT BEEN REMOVED AS TRUSTEES

THE OFFICE OF THRIFT SUPERVISION,A FEDERAL REGULATOR,FOUND  INSUFFICIENT CAPITAL AND AN ELEVATED LEVEL OF HIGHER RISK LOANS ON THE FIRST TRADE UNIONS BOOKS.

Federal bank regulators recently clamped down on the torrid lending pace at First Trade Union Bank, which raised $10 million in fresh capital announced last month from its union pension-fund owners amid an upswing in problem loans. During the second half of the year, First Trade shrank its balance sheet and moved forward on plans to raise capital from an ownership group consisting of the New England Carpenters Pension Fund (36.5 percent ownership stake), New England Carpenters Guaranteed Annuity Fund (18.2 percent) and the Empire State Carpenters Pension Fund (45 percent).

The spirit was freedom and justice

And it's keepers seem generous and kind

It's leaders were supposed to serve the members

But now they won't pay them no mind

'Cause the members grew fat and got lazy

And now their vote is a meaningless joke

They babble about law and order

But it's all just an echo of what they've been told

Yeah, there's a monster on the loose

It's got our heads into a noose

And it just sits there watching'

DEAR LITTLE PATTY MORIN LETTER HIGHLIGHTS

SEE ENTIRE LETTER HERE PDF/HTML

 

On December 22, 2009 you informed me you were "shutting down the Organizing Office, eliminating the position of Organizing Director", and slashing my salary. You have repeatedly questioned me on the long standing rumor (fueled by staff and delegate discontent) that I would run against you in the upcoming election for the position of EST. I had steadfastly told you I would not run and offered several times to takes steps to disqualify me not only for running for EST, but also from the ability to attend the UBC General Convention as a delegate.

      I have endured politically motivated harassment, humiliation, disregard, and total disrespect from you for some time now.

You have done all this never with the good of our Union in mind.

You have demonstrated a lack of any commitment to advancing the Council's standing in the political arena further weakening our political standing and ability to secure work for our members .These reasons and others were also cited by our former political director upon her resignation nearly a year ago.

 

 HEY CHRIS...SO MUCH FOR THE GENIUS OF WANTED POSTERS AND TAINTED CHEESECAKE LETTERS 2/16/2010

 THE NAPOLEON SYNDROME

The NAPOLEON SYNDROME” (aka “little man SYNDROME”) is sometimes used to describe a person who is exceedingly self-conscious about his physical size. That size would be rather small something just over five feet tall. It is, at its base, an inferiority complex often combated by the individual through behavioral power-plays, the need for exaggeration and other measures to “appear big.”

WHAT DO YOU MEAN "FIX IT ".WHY.. I'LL FIRE YOU ALL.NOW SOMEBODY CHANGE MY DIAPER. I GOT A RASH

 MEMBERS MAY BE ELIGIBLE FOR TAX WRITE OFF ON MADOFF LOSS WITH BOTH THE FEDERAL AND NYS TAX MAN??

CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR PONZI SCHEME LOSS. THE DEDUCTIONS ARE CALLED "THEFT LOSS" AND "CAPITAL GAINS LOSS"NEW YORK STATE HAS ITS OWN VERSION. THE COUNCIL IS TRYING TO TAKE THE DEDUCTION FOR THEMSELVES.YOU CAN AMMEND YOUR 2008 FILINGS.YOU MAY RECOVER UP TO 50% OF YOUR LOSS.WHEN THE COUNCIL TELLS YOU NO!! TELL THEM TO DROP DEAD.YOU MUST AT THE VERY LEAST CONSULT YOUR ACCOUNTANT. 2/15/2010

 

GET OUT AND VOTE ON MARCH 8,2010.ITS TIME FOR CHANGE

IT IS TIME TO SEND DELEGATES TO THE CONVENTION WHO ARE NOT INTERESTED IN KISSING DOUGYS ASS.

YOU WILL NOT SUPPRESS MCCARRONS OPPOSTION.YOU WILL NOT ELIMINATE REAL CANDIDATES SO YOUR SUCK ASS, WHO SPEAK ONLY AS THE COUNCIL TELLS THEM TO, CAN GO TO THE CONVENTION.

    I KNOW YOU ARE SO DESPERATE TO WEAR THE MATCHING SHIRTS AND HATS( LIKE GOOD MCCARRON GIRL SCOUTS)  AND TO TRADE PINS BUT WE NEED DELEGATES WHO ARE WILLING TO WORK FOR THE MEMBERSHIP.WE DO NOT NEED COUNCIL AND MCCARON YES MEN WHOSE ONLY CONCERNS ARE THE CONVENTION GIFT BAGS.MAYBE YOU CAN STICK THE GIFT BAGS IN YOUR ASS AND WE CAN USE THE MEMBERS PER CAPITA TAX YOU SPEND ON THEM AND THE STEAK DINNERS TO BUY HEALTH BENEFITS HERE AT HOME. 2/15/2010

SPANKY WEIR REFUSES TO SUPPLY INFORMATION ON UPCOMING MARCH 2,2010 COUNCIL ELECTION

 WEIR AND THE COUNCIL HAD THEIR HAND FORCED WHEN THEY ANNOUNCED THE "SECRET DELEGATE ONLY"COUNCIL ELECTIONS MANDATED BY THE UBC INTERNATIONAL

REMEMBER.ALL RANK AND FILE QUALIFIED UNDER SECTION 31D HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE NOMINATED AND RUN FOR THESE COUNCIL OFFICES !!!!!

QUESTIONS WEIR WOULD NOT OR COULD NOT ANSWER.1.WHY WAS THE ELECTION ANNOUNCED ONLY 24 DAYS BEFORE THE ELECTION WHEN WEIR AND THE OTHER COUNCIL CRONIES KNEW OF THE ELECTION BY LETTERS AS EARLY AS JANUARY 20TH ? 2. WOULD THE EMPIRE COUNCIL ENFORCE ITS ILLEGAL BYLAW, WRITTEN IN DIRECT VIOLATION OF THE UBC CONSTITUION, THAT SAYS NOMINATIONS CAN ONLY BE MADE BY DELEGATES TO THE COUNCIL ? 3.WILL MEMBERS BE SEATED AT THE MEETING TO RECEIVE AND GIVE NOMINATIONS OR WILL THEY DRIVE TO LONG ISLAND FOR NOTHING ? 4. WHY WAS NOTICE OF THE ELECTION NOT SENT TO THE ELIGIBLE GENERAL MEMBERSHIP ?. 2/15/2010

 

WEIR ANNOUNCES HE DID NOT SUPPORT THE CALL FOR A DEMOCRATIC ELECTION BECAUSE "IT WAS STUPID"

OF COURSE IT HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT IT WAS HIS "APPOINTED"TRUSTEE JOB ON THE LINE.

TO THOSE DELEGATES WHO STOOD UP IN SUPPORT OF A DEMOCRATIC ELECTION I SALUTE YOU.NOW TAKE STEP TWO AND VOTE OUT WEIR ,HAINES AND THE REST OF MORINS HAND APPOINTED CRONIES.THEY HAVE CONSPIRED TO RUN OUR LOCALS AND MEMBERS RIGHTS AND FUTURES INTO THE GROUND.WHILE WE HEAR WIER AND HAINES ARE BLAMING MORIN FOR EVERYTHING IN THEIR VOTER SOLICITATIONS(AND LETS HOPE THEY ARE MAKING THESE PHONE CALLS ON THIER OWN TIME.CAN YOU SAY LMRDA)NOBODY IS FOOLED.BOTH HAINES AND WEIR HAVE BEEN UP MORINS ASS AND SUPPORTED HIS RAPE OF THE RANK AND FILE WHOLEHEARTEDLY.CHECK WEIRS NEW $20,000 RAISE AS THEY ANNOUNCE A 50% LOSS TO MEMBERS ANNUITY AND HRA ACCOUNTS BEFORE YOU VOTE.CHECK HAINES RAISE AND PENSION CONTRIBUTIONS.HAVE A LOOK AT HIS DISBURSEMENTS FOR UNION BUSINESS FOR LAST YEAR BEFORE YOU VOTE. 2/15/2010

AFRAID THAT GIVING MEMBERS A FAIR CHANCE TO VOTE WILL KEEP HIS HAND PICKED SUCK ASSES FROM WINNING DELEGATE SPOTS, WEIR IS REFUSING MORE POLLING BOOTHS TO COVER OUR EXPANDED GEOGRAPHICAL AREA.

THIS ARROGANT EMPIRE COUNCIL LACKY IS ALREADY INSTRUCTING HIS CRONIES HOW THEY WILL VOTE AT THE CONVENTION, EVEN BEFORE THE ELECTION HAS BEEN HELD."WE WILL VOTE AS THE COUNCIL TELLS US". WOW SPANKY!!! I THOUGHT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO VOTE AS THE MEMBERS TELL YOU. MAYBE YOU SHOULD WIN THE ELECTION BEFORE YOU COUNT YOUR CHICKENS...

A LARGE PERCENTAGE OF THE MEMBERS HAVE BEEN NOTIFIED THAT THEIR HOURS WORKED ARE NOT ENOUGH, AND THE EMPIRE COUNCIL RATS ARE DEMANDING THOUSANDS IN COBRA PAYMENTS. SOMEONE MUST BE GLAD YOU ELECTED THIS COUNCIL LACKY SO HE COULD RAISE THE HOURS TO 700 AND TAKE A $20,000 RAISE

THIS IS LISTED UNDER THE RAISES TAKEN BY THE VERY PEOPLE WHO LOST YOUR FUNDS

"DURING DECEMBER 2008, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT COUNCIL INVESTMENTS MANAGED BY J.P. JEANNERET ASSOCIATES, INC. INVESTED WITH BERNARD L. MADOFF INVESTMENTS SECURITIES AND AFFILIATES (MADOFF) SUFFERED A LOSS.

THE MADOFF INVESTMENTS HAVE BEEN VALUED AT ZERO AT JUNE 30, 2009. "

WHY ARE WE CONTINUING TO PAY JP JEANNERET WHO THE EMPIRE COUNCIL IS SUING.THE LM2 SHOWS A $12,193 TO JEANNERET FOR INVESTMENT SERVICES

AFL-CIO TO CHARTER CARPENTER LOCALS??

ORGANIZE OR LIE

THE TRUE MOTTO FOR UBC ORGANIZING.LETS HAVE A LOOK AT THE ORGANIZING PRACTICES AND POLICIES OF THE UBC AND ITS LOCAL 370.

LETS ASK HOW MANY CONTRACTORS THESE ORGANIZERS WHO ARE PAID $70,000 PLUS A YEAR HAVE SIGNED IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS.LETS SEE HOW MUCH TIME THEY ARE SPENDING ORGANIZING  AND HOW MUCH TIME ACTING AS BUSINESS AGENTS.LETS ASK THE QUESTION:" IS THEIR MISSION TO HELP THE WORKERS OR IS IT TO EXTORT NON UNION COMPANIES?". WHEN ASKED IF THE COMMERCIAL INTERIORS WORKERS, WHOM THEY CLAIM TO CARE SO MUCH ABOUT WITH THEIR BANNERS AND JOB ACTIONS, WALKED AWAY FROM COMMERCICAL INTERIORS AND SOUGHT UNION MEMBERSHIP IF THEY WOULD SIGN THEM THE ANSWER WAS NO!!!WHERE IS ORGANIZER KEVIN SMITH WHO IS PAID $135,000 PLUS $72,000 IN HIS PENSION

ORGANIZING BONE OF THE WEEK.LETS BRAG HOW WE TURNED AWAY BUYERS FROM A PROJECT AND THEY WENT TO UNION FRIENDLY SONNY BONACIO.HOW MUCH OF BONACIOS WORK IS UNION???

MORE TO COME

 

LOCAL 370 TO PLACE OUT OF STATE AND OUT OF AREA WORKERS AT MALTA

DESPITE CRYING FOR A PLA AT GLOBAL FOUNDRIES TO PROTECT THE JOBS FOR LOCAL WORKERS CARPENTERS LOCAL 370 INTENDS TO PLACE OUT OF AREA AND OUT OF STATE WORKERS ON THE GLOBAL JOB AS LONG AS THEY ARE UNION.UNION WORKERS COMING IN FROM DOWN STATE AND OUT OF NY STATE LOCALS.SO MUCH FOR LOCAL JOBS FOR LOCAL WORKERS

EMPIRE COUNCIL WELFARE FUND LOSES $27 MILLION PLUS!!!

2008 FORM 990 SHOWS LOSS OF 21% OF THE WELFARE FUND. LISTED AS "UNREALIZED DEPRECIATION ON FAIR VALUE OF INVESTMENTS". IF THESE ARE NOT THE MADOFF LOSSES THAN ARE WE LOSING MORE???IT ALSO SHOWS LITTLE PATTY MORIN WITH A $303,000 SALARY AND $129,000 IN HIS PENSION FUND.WILLIAM WEIR GETS $76,180 AND $50,625 IN HIS PENSION.FORM 990s ALSO SHOW A $309,000 LOSS FROM THE APPRENTICESHIP COMMITEE,HERE AND $3,892,000 LOSS IN THE EMPIRE COUNCIL FUND HERE. THE EMPIRE COUNCIL FUND ALSO PAID $29,250 FOR GOLF OUTINGS AND DONATED $12,000 TO "INDICTED JOSEPH OLIVIERIS CEILING AND WALL ASSOCIATION"THESE LOSSES DO NOT INCLUDE THE LOCAL 747 DISASTER OR OTHER FUNDS THE EMPIRE COUNCIL IS NOT PRODUCING FINANCIAL DOCUMNETS FOR.

QUESTIONS:

WHY ARE RETIRED KEVIN HICKS AND JOHN SIMMONS BEING PAID A SALARY AND PENSION BENEFITS???

WHY DOES THE 990 SHOW A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN BEACON ASSOCIATES AND THE EMPIRTE COUNCIL

WHY IS THE EMPIRE COUNCIL DONATING $21,000 TO GOLF AFTER LOSING 21% PLUS OF THE FUNDS,HOLDING BACK 20% OF ANNUITY PAYMENTS AND DENYING HEALTH BENEFITS TO MEMBERS

 

DOL INVESTIGATING EMPIRE COUNCILS REFUSAL TO DISCLOSE LOSSES AND WITHOLDING 20% OF ANNUITY

Members of a state carpenters' union with a large local in Hauppauge may be making progress in a months-long effort to find out what has become of funds invested on their behalf with Ponzi swindler BernieMadoff.

Jonathan Kay, the U.S. Labor Department's regional director in New York, said the department "is aware of their frustration as to where they stand" and is "looking into" the letters it has received from the members.

WHY ARE THESE "ALLEGED"CRIMINALS CONNECTED TO THE EMPIRE COUNCIL?

"Among the others charged in the new indictment with Mr. Forde and the other union officials was Joseph Oliveri, a benefit funds trustee and executive director of the Association of Wall, Ceiling and Carpentry Industries of New York. F.B.I. reports and law enforcement officials say Mr. Oliveri has a long history of ties to the Genovese crime family, the powerful Mafia clan that for generations has held sway over the union."

 WHY IS OLIVERI A TRUSTEE AND CHAIRMAN ON MULTIPLE EMPIRE COUNCIL FUNDS IF HE HAS A CONNECTION TO ORGANIZED CRIME.WHY ARE FORDE,OLIVERI AND OTHER NYCDC CRONIES LISTED AS TRUSTEES ON 2 EMPIRE COUNCIL LABOR MANAGEMENT COMMITTEES.WHY WAS Wall, Ceiling and Carpentry Industries BUYING FUCHS,CONROY AND SIMMONS DINNER AND ENTERTAINMENT AS LISTED IN THEIR LM30S

370 PENSION FUND SERIOUSLY ENDANGERED AGAIN!!

FUNDING IMPROVEMENT  PLAN MUST BE SUBMITTED TO FEDS BY NOVEMBER 2009.AGAIN!!370 PENSION FORCED TO ASSUME OVER $38 MILLION OF THE $58 MILLION 229 PENSION FUND LIABILITES.MORE SMOKE AND MIRRORS IN LATEST MAILING

In December and January Weir and some of his Officers were telling members that  the Pension Fund was no longer Seriously endangered. When I asked Mr. Weir at the January meeting if they were still going to implement a Funding Improvement Plan and take the 50 cents he said yes . Before the first reorganizing plan was implemented with the June 1,2009 deduction we are informed the Fund is AGAIN seriously endangered at 62% funded and we must provide an additional reorganizing plan. Let's take a close look at the separate/merged 229 Pension Fund.

WHY JOHNNY CANNOT READ ORGANIZE

WHILE TRYING TO BLAME EVERYBODY ELSE FOR THEIR DISMAL FAILURE ORGANIZERS CHOOSE TO IGNORE THE OBVIOUS. ORGANIZERS RESENT MEMBERS TELLING THE PUBLIC THE REALITYS OF UBC MEMBERSHIP. ORGANIZERS DESIGNATE THE TRUTH AS "BS"

IS IT BECAUSE THEY JUST SUCK AT THEIR JOB?IS IT BECAUSE THEY SPEND TO MUCH TIME DOING THE SERVICE REPS JOB? IS IT BECAUSE ORGANIZERS MUST INFORM NEW MEMBERS THEY ARE BEING PUT INTO A $30 A CREDITED YEAR PENSION FUND?IS IT BECAUSE THE ORGANIZATION THEY ARE TRYING TO PROMOTE JUST PLAIN SUCKS AND THE UBC RAPES AND PILLAGES ITS MEMBERSHIP AROUND THE COUNTRY.IS IT BECAUSE THE EMPIRE COUNCIL ORGANIZING DEPARTMENT WHO PAY THEM ARE MORONS AND DO NOT HAVE A CLUE. IS THE ANSWER TO SALT THE 370 ORGANIZERS WITH DOWNSTATE COUNCIL SUCKASS AND BRING BACK A KEVIN HICKS GLOMMER WHO COULD NOT DO HIS JOB IN THE FIRST PLACE.

Join us in the fight to take back our Local and return it to a Democratic body. The officers we have elected to act on our behalf have sold us out. These "Council Employees" have become shills for the Empire Council and do not represent the membership. They do as they are told or get terminated. Remember Brother Phil Allen and Local 229. Share your thoughts and post in our online Blog. Join our live Chat.

As long as we sit back and do nothing we will have no power to make any decisions concerning the operation of our Local. It is time to organize and fight to regain control of Local 370. Our right to have any say in our raise allocations, contracts, funds and operation of our Local has been stolen by Kevin Hicks and the Empire Council. It is time to take them back.
