WBC hasn't added a story.
The TWU International has taken trusteeship of local 542. That means the TWU can spend our treasury any way they see fit. Currently the TWU is using our money to pay for legal fees and administrative costs in the lawsuit they are pursuing against the former board of local 542, John Plowman, Frank Pascale, Rick Lacoume, Mike O’Connor, Patti Borsos, Chris Ruhberg ,Greg Baker and Jason Vycital.
In effect your dues that comes out of your paycheck every other week is going to your local ,542, for legal fees to sue your fellow coworkers. The TWU claims they have a legal obligation to get back your money that was given to you in the form of a $500 gift card.
The current board asked the TWU International to take local 542 out of trusteeship but the International is not interested in doing so until the task at hand has been completed.
Unlike out union, I propose we stand together with our coworkers and help them pay their legal fees. I have set up an account at FundRazr.com to help manage the donations. The current total legal expense so far is $25000. As the lawsuit drags on there could be more legal expenses in the future and I suggest we attack those at that time. For now, if we can eliminate the current bill it would give some relief to the eight former board members.
I personally plan on donating $250 to start. Everyone's situation is different and the amount you donate or not donate is not anyone else's business but your own.
Fundrazr.com provides anonymous donations.These donations are NON-TAX deductible.
To make a donation go to fundrazr.com and search,"Fight Union Labor Tyranny."
Please hold onto the receipt you will receive from fundrazr for the donation you make for your own records.
If you have questions of the former boards actions, I suggest you speak to them directly. It may help you in your decision to contribute.
I have found the former boards intentions honorable and for the good of the group. These are the people that got us the two best benefits I have ever received in my thirty-year career at AA. Namely the 219-work schedule and the PRP, all achieved outside of contract negotiations.
I hope will join me and step up to help our fellow coworkers and friends.
