Preamble
Oscar De La Torre
Oscar's Commitment
Moreno's Re-Election Campaign...NOTHING!!!
After blowing off the LiUNA! PSW Conference and sticking it to EVERYBODY, he's making his calls. Even though he ignored you for years, pretended that you were not there when he walked by, he'll try to explain why he is entitled to a huge pay increase even though he has not even begun discussing increases for members, why he is the REAL choice to unite us, and most importantly, why his poor record and the Critical Issues don't matter. Let's not be Fooled by such a routine, predictable, disrespectful, and effortless response. Let's instead, Unite the NCDCL together!
Par for the Course! Moreno Blows Off PSW Regional Conference!
Early check out after a long nite: Moreno skips critical seminar issues related to "Organizing to leverage Bargaining Power," "Protecting our Pensions," and "Bargaining During a Recession." It's clear he has better things to do!
We Need a NEW Philosophy, Ideology, and Vision!
