The DOL is so corrupt you will have use the media to get the truth out. I've watched the DOL come into two locals in Northeast Pennsylvania with large sums of money missing and numerous violations. There was nothing done even though they said it was wrong and there was money missing. I Know they paid the one auditor from the DOL and it was a big joke in the Eboard meeting. Another thing we can do that will change everything is to opt out of the your money being deducted from you check for political action. This is perfectly legal and they have to let you do it. They usually put the money in the apprentice fund which is better than giving it to a corrupt politician. <br /> We can win this battle if we act like a union carpenter should. Stand tall at your union meeting and ask questions. Make sure the minutes to the meeting are right or they will leave out the parts they don't like. Always have someone with you taking minutes to compare to Thiers. If you do that in a bound book and date the meeting those minutes are legal documents in court. We better start calling politicians like you said. Enough is enough so let's start fighting.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33871138.post-52961111229383615402017-07-26T19:07:48.758-04:002017-07-26T19:07:48.758-04:00I'm going with trying to fight them.

Send him and senators etc.letters that we as members aren't voting for or helping you any more for election time. We do the foot work, just say no!!! Until they start helping us as members.

Bill Waterkotte has hired many of his family members, his secretarys daughter and other council employees family members. When you ask about this your shot down in your local meeting your shot down by the Representatives and threatened about working.<br /> At the last delegates meeting in Pittsburgh the night before delegates and thier guests were wine and dinned and then taken for a boat ride on the river all at the members expense. Many of the delegates could drive in the day of meeting but come in a day ahead so they get paid for Fridays wages, a motel room and thier meals. All for nothing because they are all scared to ask a question at Council meeting.<br /> Now let's talk about how the Representatives are treated. If they get out of line they get called in for a good ass chewing or time off without pay or fired. Thier hand book says union vehicles for union use only and some Representatives don't own a vehicle of thier own. If your arrested for DUI you lose the union vehicle and have to buy your own insurance. Well Ricky the rat Thomlinson was arrested for DUI and he still has his vehicle. His punishment or reward was the drunken rat was appointed to the Executive Board.<br /> Remember Bill Waterkotte was working with I international to knock Philadelphia out so his buddy John Ballantyne and him could crawl up the ladder.<br /> This isn't about one area it's about all hard working members that deserve better. The DOL and the FBI won't do a thing and I know. After finding millions of dollars missing from local and council I talked to both agencies. That was seven years ago and nothing has happened. One of the union attorneys that was involved is now a federal judge nominated by Senators Casey and Toomey and appointed by President Obama. The corruption between the government and the unions has been going on for years and getting worse everyday.<br /> When the members lose thier pensions and everything they have worked for the fat cats at the top will still have this.<br /> You've got a choice try to fight them or get out. I know a lot of members that left the union and are making out better. They are happy and no one is stealing from them. It's your choice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33871138.post-37374287592670426892017-07-25T09:19:49.286-04:002017-07-25T09:19:49.286-04:00Let's have it.Let's have it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33871138.post-85656193103449576442017-07-25T08:58:56.294-04:002017-07-25T08:58:56.294-04:00I think a name by name factual portrayal of who th...I think a name by name factual portrayal of who they are<br />How they are related<br />Who were they appointed by<br />Their current job status because of nepotism<br />Without insult or bias just the facts, is definitely in order.

Enjoying there ipads and lobster dinners and paid 2 days off every 3 months for a deligates meeting plus a cash perdiam and a room to sleep. Times that by 3000 deligates. That's a huge amount of money being taking from us. Meanwhile I'm hanging sheetrock by myself busting my ass while deligates get hand picked by agents for the cushy jobs.plus the agents have to ride around everyday with another agent in the passangers seat for safety reasons!!!!! Bull shit, they don't have to walk a picket line etc. While getting paid for 48 hours a week must be nice huh. Now you now why are agents turned their backs to us, God forbid they have to put their tool belt on like us. No they dress in suits to attend our union meetings. These guys are above us. What comes also goes arround. You guys should be ashamed of yourselves. Wake up Philly for the love of God and our locals!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33871138.post-21936206208931800352017-07-23T22:41:03.393-04:002017-07-23T22:41:03.393-04:00Being that i am familiar with the last comment.

Let the whole world know what scumbags they are. Maybe post their address so members can send them a christmas card.

This city is where it all (Democracy) started and think about it, we don't have a say about anything. We are ran like a communist country! Our contractors run the show here in Philadelphia. God forbid you ask for water let alone iced on a hot day and you're right away labeled a trouble maker. And forget about calling the hall for help!!! They send out Lenny and Skweggy to make an appearance. But the funny thing is, it's our own member's fault. Nobody stands together anymore. They the contractors which like I said are running things here got everybody job scared!!! I feel bad for our apprentices. Theyll never know what it's like to work or belong to a brotherhood. Especially the way the international has it set up. I as a union carpenter blame our executive board for allowing this to be done from our merger on! They know what's been going on and still allowing it. They're all in possition to reak the benifites! Half of them were Correyels' cronnies which by the way all talk shit about him but no-one will say anything to his face. Like a true carpenter. Hopefully one day Philadelphia Carpenters will get the picture and stand up for what is only right. We pay our dues and follow rules. So why shouldn't our higher ups also? Now we have to miss two days pay a year for MUPS. Not a problem with that. Problem is why aren't ous team leaders taking time off for MUPS? We need to change things fast and hold all crooks accountable. And we shouldn't have to foot the bill for lawyers also Naughton!

The Carpenters combined funds office in Pittsburgh has accepted payments from unsigned contractors for years. You can call the Department of Labor all you want and nothing will be done. Remember it all comes down to the PAC fund and our friends in political office. Until enough members complain or start a law suit nothing will change. The problem is we have more suck asses than true union Carpenters. Grow a set members and take a stand.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
