NCDCL ELECTION UPDATE:TOTAL MELTDOWN!
BROTHERS: OUR CURRENT BUSINESS MANAGER IS SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL & STRUGGLING TO FIND HIS WAY. HE IS PLEADING WITH DELEGATES AND MAKING PROMISES HE CAN’T KEEP IN AN EFFORT TO GET YET, ANOTHER CHANCE TO DO NOTHING BUT SIT BACK AND WATCH!
FACT – SPECIAL MEETING FOR POLITICS
BEFORE THE LAST DELEGATE MEETING JOSE MORENO CALLED A MEETING AT THE COUNCIL DURING BUSINESS HOURS (FOR “SUPPORTERS” ONLY) BECAUSE HE WANTED BADLY TO CHANGE OUR LONG-STANDING PRACTICE OF SECRET BALLOT ELECTION TO AN “OPEN VOTE” IN ORDER TO EXPOSE INDIVIDUALS FOR FUTURE RETALIATION! IN AN ABSOLUTE BACKFIRE AND COMPLETE FLIP-FLOP, HE HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO MAKE A MOTION TO HAVE A SECRET BALLOT BECAUSE HE LEARNED SOMEHOW THAT NO MATTER WHAT, HE WOULD NOT BE SUCCESSFUL. WE ALL KNOW THAT HE SHOULD BE CALLING EMERGENCY MEETINGS TO DISCUSS THE MASTER AGREEMENT NEGOTIATIONS WHICH WE ALL AGREED SHOULD BE INITIATED AT LEAST 18 MOS IN ADVANCE OF EXPIRATION (WE’RE BEHIND MORENO’S 8-BALL ONCE AGAIN AS THE AGREEMENT EXPIRES IN ABOUT 11 MONTHS,) WHILE HE’S DONE NOTHING BUT POLITICS FOR HIMSELF.
FACT – NCDCL NEGOTIATIONS INITIATED AT LOCAL 304
WHILE MORENO POLITICS FOR HIS LIFE, ALL OF A SUDDEN LOCAL 304 INITIATES A *MEMBERSHIP ACTION RELATED TO OUR MASTER AGREEMENT DESPITE THE FACT THAT OUR CONSTITUTION SETS FORTH THE PROCEDURES FOR DOING SO! IN A VAGUE COMMUNICATION, SENT TO ALL OF US, THE LOCAL APPEARS TO BE KICKING-OFF CONTRACT TALKS FOR THE COUNCIL WITH SCARE TACTICS IN ITS’ “SOME EMPLOYERS” FLYER WHICH THREATENS TO CHANGE THE PENSION TO A 401K & ELIMINATE DEPENDANT HEALTHCARE. THIS “WILDCAT” EFFORT IS A CLEAR INDICATION OF MORENO’S COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL, LACK OF RESPECT FOR THE BUSINESS MANAGERS, AFFILIATES, AND COUNCIL, AND LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROVISIONS OF THE CONSTITUTION RELATED TO BARGAINING. SHAME ON HIM FOR STANDING BY, SCARING THE MEMBERS, IGNORING THE CONSTITUTION, AND JEOPARDIZING OUR PROBABLE UNITED FRONT ON PREPARATION AND NEGOTIATIONS! ALL IN ALL, A COMPLETE BREAKDOWN!
ONCE YOU ELECT ME, WE WILL BE FINALLY RID OF ALL OF THE RHETORIC AND THE GAME PLAYING! I WILL WORK HARD AND MAKE SURE WE LAYOUT A WELL-PREPARED PLAN TO KEEP US TOGETHER AND PROTECT US FROM LOOKING FOOLISH FOR ALL THE WRONG REASONS. I KNOW THAT WE’RE FED UP WITH THESE TACTICS AND AS TRUE LABORERS, ARE READY TO SHOW THE JOKERS TO THE DOOR! LET’S BE STRONG AND UNITE FOR THE GOOD OF THE MEMBERS WE SERVE!
