Moreno's MOTIVATION (One more term) - Is it to Unify or to Control?

Brothers:
It is no secret, I am proud of my record in San Francisco, but "San Francisco" has nothing to do with this campaign. On so many of the most important challenges, at Local 261, I have shown that solutions are possible when you stop playing politics and start focusing on the issues that matter most to the members we are proud to represent and to serve! With you, I have taken the first steps to continue a proven and bold approach to jointly solving problems not just in one area, but in all of Northern California. To achieve our mutual goals, I will continue to reach out to the Business Managers and delegates to build consensus. If we go forward together, we will build the necessary foundation for REAL solutions for the Laborers and OUR UNION!
Please join me, and together we will have a motivated Business Manager with a true work ethic who helps unify our efforts to work towards finding solutions so that we can all move forward (not backwards,) and really, finally, FEEL THE POWER! (Pictured: CA Assembly Member and Majority Whip, Fiona Ma stands by as Oscar De La Torre pitches CA High Speed Rail at the SF Hilton earlier this week.)

MOTIVATION? To Unite or Control???
Referred to by his colleagues as "ineffective," as a "non-factor" and as a "painfully shy man of leisure," our Current Business Manager is not sufficiently motivated to achieve our goals, promote our objectives, or simply meet the challenges that confront us! Before we commit to four more years of the incompetence of standing still and lacking motivation from the top, we must ask:

Why would someone with No long term goals, and No short term goals, want just "one more term???
Answer: Our Business Manager has said on numerous occasions "I LOVE POLITICS!" He is solely concerned with control & internal political conquests, above all else!

Why would someone who is diligently tending to the Business of our Council and promoting our Union at the highest level, insist that such efforts remain a secret???
Answer: It is no secret! Our Business Manager loves his free time! He starts his monthly report by saying "I’ll keep it short..." every month! He rarely mentions anything that he is doing for the Union. Simply put, for years he has done almost nothing day-to-day and his monthly reports confirm this fact!

Why would our current Business Manager change his ways and work aggressively to advocate for our membership while unifying the Council???
Answer: He won’t! He has fostered and developed an unusually strong bond with the money managers who cater to his individual and personal needs which further his true motivation...to continue as, not our LEADER but as our "Man of Leisure!" While our members lose healthcare options & pension benefits at an alarming rate, our Business Manager has Trustee meetings at Resorts and Country Clubs because we all know that "work" and "the Laborers" are the last thing on his mind!

JOIN THE UNITY CAMPAIGN TO UNITE THE COUNCIL, BRING BACK HONOR, AND PUT THE MEMBERS FIRST!
Help me unlock the doors and turn the lights back on so we can get back to the Business of the Council for the members we serve! Elect Oscar for a dedicated professional approach to unifying the Council and moving us all forward together to meet all challenges! For all other questions you can call me direct or send an e-mail to unitethencdcl@gmail.com!

No April Fool's Joke! Our Council Really Does Lack Commitment and Follow Through from the Top Spot!

CRITICAL ISSUE #2

COMMITMENT

BROTHERS:
TO MAKE A COMMITMENT IS EASY BUT WITHOUT FOLLOWING THROUGH, IT’S JUST ANOTHER BROKEN PROMISE, A MISREPRESENTATION WE DON'T NEED OR DESERVE. WE HAVE SEEN AMONG MANY OTHER THINGS, THE FOLLOWING;

BUSINESS MANAGERS' MEETINGS (FAILED GOAL SETTING)

WHEN ELECTED BACK IN 2001, OUR BUSINESS MANAGER COMMITTED TO SUCH MEETINGS HIS ACTIONS HOWEVER, SPEAK LOUDER BECAUSE HE WILL MEET TO DISCUSS IMPORTANT ISSUES AFFECTING THE MEMBERSHIP ONLY WHEN FORCED. SOME HAVE SUGGESTED THAT THIS EVIDENCES IN PART A DESIRE TO SIMPLY "GET 51%." IF ELECTED, I WILL SCHEDULE QUARTERLY MEETINGS OF THE BUSINESS MANAGERS FOR PURPOSES OF SETTING OUR GOALS, MAXIMIZING PARTICIPATION, AND UNIFYING THIS COUNCIL!

"THE DISPATCH" (FAILED NEWSLETTER/COMMUNICATION)
OUR BUSINESS MANAGER COMMITTED TO INFORMING THE MEMBERSHIP WITH HIS NEWSLETTER "THE DISPATCH" REGARDING, PENSION ISSUES, HEALTH-CARE, VACATION-DUES SUPPLEMENT, OR ANY OTHER ISSUE. INSTEAD, HE ONLY COMMUNICATED THE WAGE INCREASES WHILE DELEGATING ALL OF THE BAD NEWS TO US. ALTHOUGH ONLY TWO (2) ISSUES EVER WENT OUT, SUCH SELECTIVE REPORTING IS SELF-SERVING, DISRESPECTS THE AFFILIATES, AND INSULTS OUR ENTIRE MEMBERSHIP. IF ELECTED, I'LL RECOMMEND A QUARTERLY PUBLICATION THAT SETS UP A FORMAT THAT HAS SPACE FOR THE AFFILIATES (AT THEIR OPTION) TO INSERT THEIR BUSINESS MANAGER'S REPORT, UNION INFO., ETC. THIS WAY, THE COUNCIL WILL TRULY "ASSISTS" THE AFFILIATES AT DELIVERING ALL OF THE NEWS INSTEAD OF JUST THE GOOD PARTS!

ALLOCATIONS (ANOTHER DECLARATION GONE BAD!)
DUNING 2006 NEGOTIATIONS OUR BUSINESS MANAGER SAID "THEY (THE EMPLOYERS) WILL NEVER TELL US WHERE THE ALLOCATIONS GO!" IN FACT, HE AGREED IN WRITING LATER TO DO THE EXACT OPPOSITE (see ACE agreement/side letters -agc,aece,euca) SO NOW WE MEET EACH YEAR TO ALLOCATE OUR FUNDS (we are the only Union that has agreed to such an arrangement.) IF ELECTED, I WILL COMMIT TO PROFESSIONALISM AND WILL MAKE SURE WE IMPLEMENT A WELL THOUGHT OUT PROCESS WE CAN ALL RELY ON INSTEAD OF MAKING IT UP AS WE GO.
