Ooops! International Union Vice President Jose Moreno is Exposed! INCOMPETENT & Missing In Action!

Brothers: It is my sincere hope that through this campaign, we have been all talking about the issues that will define us over the next four years. While the current Business Manager has said that he’s taking the "high road" in this important process, the truth is he will likely wait to the very end to engage at all because he simply can’t defend his weak record/reputation through dialogue or debate.
What a Shame!Clearly, he has been both incompetent and ineffective not because he is unintelligent, but because he lacks commitment and motivation sufficient to put forth any real effort at all. For years, I (like many of you,) had held out hope that this would change, while it’s only gotten worse as our District Council and our membership suffer as a result!
As I saw that he was failing all of us on so many fronts, I tried to straighten our course on many of them (Organizing, Training, Healthcare, Pension, etc.) because it was my responsibility to speak out as opposed to silently consent. At this point, for doing my job I became one of his targets! We can’t continue, and must change course, Elect me and together we’ll Unite our Council and put our members first!


Ooops! International Union Vice President Jose Moreno is Exposed!
We can't Afford Four More Years of His
INCOMPETENCE!
And: HIS "HIGH ROAD" IS REALLY THE "NO ROAD!"

We all know that the incumbent Business Manager is claiming that he is taking the "high road." In fact, he is, and has always taken the "No Road." No plan, no excuse, no justification, no commitment, no effort, AND no respect for the affiliates or our membership. Even in his fight for his job, he REALLY thinks we expect little if anything from such a highly compensated "laborer." He’s "all in" and he bets that we will continue doing business for him as usual agreeing to everything he says and expecting little if any results FOR OUR MEMBERSHIP!
ISN’T IT DISRESPECTFUL TO ALL OF US FOR HIM TO THINK THAT HE DOESN’T EVEN NEED TO CAMPAIGN ON THE ISSUES? HE KNOWS SO LONG AS WE’RE DIVIDED, AND HE CAN GET 51%, WE’RE ASSURED OF FOUR MORE YEARS of HEADING DOWNHILL AND FAST!
In addition to the many, many other issues such as his failed newsletters, broken promises to cross train or manage staff, failure to explain the building fund, complete lack of understanding of the bargaining procedures and options, and disgraceful public behavior,
HE ROUTINELY VIOLATES OUR CONSTITUTION & BLOWS OFF NEGOTIATIONS BECAUSE HE THINKS WE’RE NOT PAYING ATTENTION OR WORSE, THAT WE DON’T CARE TOO!

IUC Article II Section 1 (e) He Violated! He is required to "Advance Skills and Working knowledge" of workers through apprenticeship.
IUC Article II Section 1 (h) He Violated! "Promote harmony with other Organizations" A complete pass he takes on PG&E discussions with IBEW 1245.
IUC Article II Section 1 (i) He Violated! "Strive for programs to increase employment" Failed to put a regional plan together and works against the Locals.
IUC Article II Section 1 (l) He Violated! "Political Education" (Latino Caucus) he can’t even set an agenda let alone educate or register voters.
UDCC Article II Section F (1) He Violated! "Protect and conserve the jurisdiction" Jose can’t Organize!
UDCC Article II Section 1 (b, c, d,) Violated! Violated! Violated! "To promote Unity...(among us!)" "To coordinate activity with affiliate Locals..." "Fostering Harmony and united action between affiliates." He is a divider and Violator!

If you Elect me, I Promise that:
OUR CONSTITUTION WILL BE OUR LAW, OUR MEMBERSHIP WILL BE OUR MOTIVATION, AND OUR OATH WILL BE OUR PROMISE!
Please join the Unity Campaign, Bring back HONOR, and put our members first!
