DESPITE PUFFING OUT HIS CHEST AND DECLARING WE HAD 1440 PLUS MEMBERS AT LAST MONTHS MEETING IT APPEARS MARK SOWALSKI IS CLUELESS. HE WAS ONLY OFF BY 200.HOW CAN YOU BE A FINANCIAL SECRETARY AND NOT KNOW HOW MANY MEMBERS WE HAVE.

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??
DONT HOLD YOUR BREATH.WHAT SOME RANK AND FILE SEE AS A GLIMMER OF HOPE IS JUST THE AFL-CIO BLOWING SMOKE TO FORCE THE UBC RAT "CASH MCCARRON"BACK INTO THE FOLD.THEY COULD CAR LESS ABOUT THE WORKERS.THEY WANT THE UBC PER CAPITA DOLLAR
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???

WE WANT YOUNG GUYS WHO ARE GOING TO STAY AROUND FOR AWHILE" OPENS UP LOCAL FOR AGE DISCRIMINATION LAWSUIT.SOWALSKIS HIRING POLICIES SET LOCAL 370 BACK 20 YEARS.LOCAL WONT HIRE NEW JOURNEYMEN BECAUSE OVERPAID ORGANIZERS AND BUSINESS AGENTS CANNOT SECURE WORK FOR THE MEN THEY HAVE BUT HIRE 26 NEW APPRENTICES TO SECURE STATE GRANT MONEY.
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.

"McCarron has purged the union of dissidents, expelled political opponents and placed disloyal unions in trusteeship. He has removed rank and file carpenters from leadership positions within the union and replaced them with business agents who have never worked as carpenters."
MORIN AND OLIVIERI LIPLOCKED??
HOW CLOSE ARE OLIVIERI AND MORIN. DID THE EMPIRE COUNCIL CIRCLE THE WAGONS TO PROTECT OLIVIERI AN ACCUSED "CONNECTED" AND INDICTED CRIMINAL INSTEAD OF REMOVING HIM.
LETS SEE.HAVE THEY BEEN PUT ON HIGH ALERT.IF YOU CALL THE EMPIRE COUNCIL TO INQUIRE ABOUT OLIVIERI ARE THEY GOING TO TELL YOU 'WE HAVE NO COMMENT AND TO CALL THE CRIMINALS" HAVE THE EMPLOYEES BEEN DIRECTED BY MEMO SENT ON THE DAY THE INDICTMENT WAS RELEASED TO REFUSE YOU INFORMATION AND TO HAVE YOU CALL THE INDICTED??REMEMBER THE EST HAS GIVEN HIMSELF THE POWER TO "REMOVE AND APPOINT ALL FUND TRUSTEES"HOW MANY DINNERS AND ENTERTAINMENT DID OLIVIERI BUY FUCHS,CONROY,HICKS AND SIMMONS.READ THEIR LM30s

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
UNIONS DECIET BETRAYS POLITICAL SUPPORT.SEE HOW THE UNIONS EXTORTED THIS JOB FOR THEIR OWN PERSONAL GAIN.READ HOW THE UNIONS ARE EXTORTING WORKERS TO PAY KICK BACKS TO THE UNIONS.THEY ARE FORCING NON UNION WORKERS TO PAY AN "AGENCY SHOP FEE" AND CONTRIBUTIONS TO FAILING AND MISMANAGED WELFARE FUNDS THEY ARE NOT EVEN A PART OF JUST TO WORK AT GLOBALFOUNDRIES.IS THIS HOW WE BENEFIT NY WORKERS OR IS THIS THE "SOPRANOS"

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.
