40 DAY CONTINUED

 On April 21 Inner City Press up in the courtroom published: "day ended as witness described planning with Tagliaferro, in Brooklyn, to charge $600 fees "into our pockets... Our motive? To make some money." 2 big guys laugh."

  Now, Tagliaferro is not laughing. On April 28: "TAGLIAFERRO, the president of Local 926 chapter of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America (the “Union”), was found guilty today in Manhattan federal court of honest services wire fraud, conversion of union assets, and conspiracy, in connection with his involvement in a scheme to solicit cash bribes from hundreds of prospective members in exchange for union membership.  The jury convicted TAGLIAFERRO today following a one-week trial before U.S. District Judge Paul A. Crotty.  TAGLIAFERRO is scheduled to appear for sentencing before Judge Crotty on July 27, 2021."

On July 7, Tagliaferro's lawyer asked for a delay of two months, for the "development of mitigating factors." The US Attorney's Office immediately opposed the request, mocking this very phrase.

On July 8 Judge Crotty granted a one month delay, but said it would be the last one: "The Court will allow one thirty day adjournment to September 8, 2021 at 12 noon. There will be no further adjournments. SO ORDERED. (Sentencing set for 9/8/2021 at 12:00 PM before Judge Paul A. Crotty) (Signed by Judge Paul A. Crotty on 7/8/2021)." Watch this site.

Back on April 26, after the government's closing, Tagliaferro's lawyer Susan Kellman noted that the jury consists of "11 women and a black man," and that women's weren't allowed on juries until 1957. Then she tore into cooperating witness John DeFalco, quoting him about his home as big as a school - with a dock, no less.

   She portrayed Tagliaferro as increasingly powerless, 200 of his members taken, and DeFalco as the one selling union books. He was in Puerto Rico, she said, "not dropping paper towels from helicopters" but volunteering. Tagliaferro nodded to five family members / supporters in the front row.

  There was talk of a leak in SDNY - we'll have more on this.

Back on March 30, Judge Crotty ruled on various motions in limine: "OPINION & ORDER as to Salvatore Tagliaferro. The Court DENIES the Government's motion in limine to introduce the Defendant's 1997 conviction as impeachment evidence against the Defendant or any character witnesses, should they elect to testify at trial. The 1997 conviction is inadmissible for all purposes. The Court GRANTS the Government's motion in limine to introduce the two kickback schemes as subjects of cross-examination against character witnesses. The Court DENIES Tagliaferro's cross-motion to exclude evidence about the Contracting Kickback in the Government's case-in-chief. The Court DEFERS judgment on the Government's motion in limine to preclude or otherwise limit testimony regarding the Defendant's prior activities as a confidential informant."

Now on March 31, this: "SEALING ORDER as to Salvatore Tagliaferro. This order GRANTS the parties' request to file the following material under seal: the Government's supplemental motion in limine ("SML"), Tagliaferro's response (Def.'s Resp. dated Mar. 25, 2021), and the Government's reply (Gov't's Reply dated Mar. 28, 2021) (collectively, "the Briefing"), along with Tagliaferro's ex parte letter dated March 25, 2021 (the "Ex Parte Letter"). The Court has weighed the presumption of public access to these judicial documents against the risk that public disclosure would present a significant risk to (1) Tagliaferro's safety, (2) the safety of a potential defense witness, and (3) law enforcement efforts."

  Inner City Press will be pushing that this in-person trial also be open to the press and public by phone, given COVID. It is not either / or. Watch this site.
This case is USA v. Tagliaferro, et al., 19-cr-472 (Crotty)

Treasury Department Rejects Proposal to Cut Retiree Benefits

 NCCMP RATS LOSE.NEXT STOP FEDERAL COURT

Treasury Department Rejects Teamsters’ Central States Proposal to Cut Retiree Benefits

Proposed cuts would have slashed members’ income by 50% or more

By

Timothy W. Martin

May 6, 2016 2:07 p.m. ET

 

The Treasury Department on Friday rejected a proposal by the Teamsters’ Central States Pension Fund to cut pension checks for 200,000 retirees, according to people familiar with the matter.

It is extremely rare for retirees to ever see reductions in their pension benefit. The proposed cuts would have slashed some members’ income by 50% or more.

Central States represents about 400,000 truckers, construction and other types of service workers. Central States only has about half of the money it needs to meet future obligations, with $17.8 billion in assets versus liabilities of $35 billion.

The decision was made by Kenneth Feinberg, the star mediator, who judged whether Central States’ application to avoid insolvency followed the law and made reasonable assumptions about investment returns and membership contributions. Write to Timothy W. Martin at timothy.martin@wsj.com

THE RATS LOSE!!!! THE RATS LOSE!!!

Treasury Denies Central States Benefit Cuts!

Kenneth Feinberg, Special Master for the U.S. Treasury Department has recommended they deny the application of the Central States Pension Fund to implement its planned pension cuts. 

Retired and active Teamsters who have built a movement in our union to protect pensions deserve a big congratulations for winning this battle. The tireless work by many Teamsters is starting to pay off.

The grassroots campaign won this phase of the war, but more battles are on the horizon and we will need to plan our fight to maintain our earned secure retirements. The pension protection movement needs to continue to grow and play a role in finding real alternatives insuring our retirement security. 

HEY DOUGY STICK THE NCCMP IN YOUR ASS.GOT ANY MORE LETTERS

ATTACK ON NYC JOBS AND BENEFIT HOURS APPEALED TO 2ND CIRCUIT

  THE NORTHEAST COUNCIL AND CAPELLIS ATTACK ON NYC JOBS AND BENEFIT HOURS APPEALED TO THE 2ND CIRCUIT COURT OF APPEALS

Using the NLRB Board Rules and regulations found here https://www.nlrb.gov/reports-guidance/rules-regulations Under Section Sec. 101.14 Judicial review of Board decision and order If the respondent does not comply with the Board’s order, or the Board deems it desirable to implement the order with a court judgment, the Board may petition the appropriate Federal court for enforcement. Or, the respondent or any person aggrieved by a final order of the Board may petition the circuit court of appeals to review and set aside the Board’s order. If a petition for review is filed, the respondent or aggrieved person must ensure that the Board  receives, by service upon its Deputy Associate General Counsel of the Appellate Court  Branch, a court -stamped copy of the petition with the date of filing. Upon such review or  enforcement proceedings, the court reviews the record and the Board’s findings and order  and sustains them if they are in accordance with the requirements of law. The court may  enforce, modify, or set aside in whole or in part the Board’s findings and order, or it may  remand the case to the Board for further proceedings as directed by the court. Following  the court’s judgment, either the Government or the private party may petition the  Supreme Court for review upon writ of certiorari. Such applications for review to the  Supreme Court are handled by the Board through the Solicitor General of the United  States Seems odd without Bermans pre approval or notice to Berman they have already passed a new Cement League Contract with the same illegal wording on Feb 17th. Capelli wants NYC jobs and McCarron wants  NYC benefit hours into the Northeast Funds he and Spencer control but is this also an attack on Berman and the consent decree.

SEC OF LABOR TOMAS PEREZ ASKED TO APPEAR IN MIKE MCCARRON CASE

JUDGE SELNA ASKED SECRETARY OF LABOR PEREZ TO APPEAR  AMICUS CURAE IN THE MIKE MCCARRON .PEREZ HAS BEEN ASKED TO ANSWER TWO SIMPLE QUESTIONS

(1) “Does ERISA preempt a claim based on a transaction between two ERISA-regulated parties–the Union and the Training Fund–with respect to rent payments?”

IN REGARDS TO QUESTION 1. SORRY YOUR HONOR  BUT THIS QUESTION CANNOT BE ANSWERED AS ASKED BECAUSE THESE ARE NOT TWO ERISA REGULATED PARTIES. THE TRAINING FUND IS REGULATED BY ERISA (NO MATTER HOW ABSURD THAT FACT IS) BUT THE UNION IS NOT AN ERISA REGULATED PARTY. IT IS AN LMRDA REGULATED PARTY. THE UNION OVERSIGHT IS NOT THE OFFICE OF THE EBSA BUT THE DOL AND ANY VIOLATION OF THE LMRDA WHICH REGULATES IT ARE PURSUED BY AN AGENCY THAT IS NOT THE EBSA. THE JOB OF THE EBSA IS TO ENFORCE ERISA LAW. THE EBSA IS ONLY LEGALLY ALLOWED TO INVOLVE ITSELF IN ENFORCEMENT OF ERISA LAW.. A POINT IT APPEARS SEC BORZI HAS FORGOTTEN

IN REGARDS TO THE SECOND QUESTION 

(2) “Does federal law permit a party who has sustained a judgment for
violation of the LMRDA to seek contribution or indemnity?” THE ANSWER IS YES FOR MULTIPLE REASONS ONE BEING AS LONG AS THE LMRDA WILL NOT BE USED TO DECIDE THE OUTCOME OF THE CASE. SINCE THE TRAINING FUND IS AN ERISA REGULATED PARTY (REGARDLESS OF HOW ABSURD THAT IS) THE ACTIONS OF THE TRAINING FUND BOARD,DIRECTOR AND TRUSTEES ARE REGULATED BY ERISA AND NOT THE LMRDA.

OPPOSING COUNSEL CRAIG SINGER THE UBC ATTORNEY"THAT IN MY OPINION GOT LAUGHED OUT OF THE 9TH CIRCUIT APPEALS COURT" IN THE UBC FAILED RICO CASE  AND "TRIED TO DECLARE UBC MEMBERS SLAVES OF THE UBC" AT WHICH TIME THE APPEALS JUDGE REMINDED MR SINGER OF THE 13TH AMENDMENT

SINGER TOLD SEC PEREZ 

LIE (1)

"The extensive investigation, which lasted almost three years, addressed the question whether these leases were prohibited transactions under ERISA."

FIRST THERE WAS NO EXTENSIVE INVESTIGATION BUT PER TESTIMONY AT THE 14D TRIAL OF MIKE MCCARRON BY PETER AWYLWARD AND OTHERS  THE TRAINING FUND RECEIVED NOTICE OF AN UPCOMING ROUTINE AUDIT.

KLINE ADMITS DEFRAUDING THE AMERICAN WORKERS.CLAIMS SEC PEREZ DIRTY AS WELL

THE SHILLS AND FRONT MEN FOR THE NCCMP RAPE OF ERISA LAW AND THE THEFT FROM PENSIONERS, KLINE AND MILLER ADMIT THEY KNEW THEY COULD NOT GET IT PASSED!! 

WHY ARE THEY CLAIMING  SEC OF LABOR PEREZ WAS IN ON IT!!!

"And
frankly U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Secretary Tom Perez "


EARL POMEROY EX CONGRESSMAN AND NOW SENIOR PARTNER AT ALLSTON AND BIRD THE LAW FIRM FOR THE NCCMP WHEN HOFFA SAT ON THE BOARD AND IN 2007 THE LAW FIRM FOR UPS. A FACT UNDER REVIEW. INTERVIEWED CONGRESSMAN KLINE.THE SAME EARL POMEROY WHO CALLED THE RAPE OF RETIREESS PENSION CHECKS  "ONE OF THE SLICKEST PIECES OF LEGISLATING HE HAS SEEN"

 

 EARL POMEROY:Let me just say, Mr.
Chairman, someone with whom I put many miles on the airplane together, flying back and forth to the Midwest, congratulations for your passage of the“Solutions Not Bailouts” response to the multiemployer
pension crisis. It was one of the slickest pieces of legislating I’ve
seen in the 18 years I was on Capitol Hill and in the years since. So I want to
congratulate you for that astounding achievement and capture your reflections.

 How do you feel about that victory and what motivated you to give that tremendous effort. 

KLINE:We had something to work with. The National Coordinating Committee for
Multiemployer Plans (NCCMP)/INTERNATIONAL UNION LEADERS  had put a lot of work into
this, so we had something to work from. [Miller] was concerned that members on
his side of the aisle might be put in a tough position if they had to even think about voting for something that would result in a reduction of benefits to a pension plan.
Kline:I do not think it would have been possible(TO PASS) if we’d waited until after
the new Congress was sworn in, So that focused the effort to working on it in the
lame duck session. 

KLINE:It took all hands to move it. George Miller working with House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and Democrats  

And
frankly U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) Secretary Tom Perez 

(explains EBSA
Phylis Borzis trips to AEIP Summits and the person hired to enforce ERISA
law conspiring to attack it.)

–spent a lot of time working the Senate Democrats to get it done.

 

Is not Klines admission that they knew they could not get it passed legitimately so "we back doored it" on behalf of a Private Group the NCCMP – a coalition of member unions, employer trade groups, and individual employers trustees representing both unions and employers - and admission of fraud and at the very least before any cuts are even considered this and the involvement of Borzi and now Sec of Labor Perez...  Kline:I do not think it would have been possible(to get it passed) if we’d waited until after the new Congress was sworn in, So that focused the effort to working on it in the lame duck session.(We knew we could not get it passed legitimately so we intentionally  back doored it)

THE TRUTH IS TOLD... UNIONS BEHIND ATTACK ON RETIREES!!!

       NO MORE WALL STREET DID IT LIES

NO MORE IT WAS MILLER AND KLINE LIES

NO MORE THE BOGEY MAN DID IT LIES

THE TRUTH HAS BEEN  TOLD .OUR UNION INTERNATIONAL LEADERS ARE BEHIND THIS ATTACK ON AMERICAN RETIREES

(1)Starting in 2013, an organization called the National Coordinating Committee for Multiemployer Plans (better known as NCCMP) lobbied Congress intensively to ostensibly “solve” the problems of seriously underfunded multiemployer plans,NCCMP – a coalition of member unions, employer trade groups, and individual employers trustees representing both unions and employers – advocated that a key way of saving these underfunded multiemployer plans was to allow trustees to be able to unilaterally decide to cut retirees benefits.
NCCMP has a lot of money and many powerful lobbyists working for it.

 (2)What the law really allows is pension plan trustees to balance the books on the backs of retirees – the most vulnerable.
(3)This new law guts the most fundamental provisions of ERISA, the federal private pension law.This legislation passed only because the House leaders attached it to the omnibus spending bill, and if that didn’t pass, the government would have shut down

Let me reiterate: this bill was written in a back room and kept secret until the last minute. The retirees targeted by the cutbacks were never given a chance to have their voices heard.
  

Speech by Karen Friedman to the Texas-Houston Committee to Protect Pensions

Sunday, February 21, 2016

Hello, my friends from Texas! I’ve flown here today from Washington, D.C. I’m happy to be talking to you about the movement to STOP the cuts to your pension. And I want to say right up front, we are making good progress on this goal.

But I first want to ask you a few questions:

    Have all of you gotten your letters telling you your pensions are going to be cut?
    How many are getting cuts of 50 percent? More than 50 percent?
    How many of you are spouses or widows or widowers? How many of you understand how the cuts were made?
    How many of you, because of the expected cuts, fear losing your home?
    How many of you will no longer be able to take care of a family member?
    How many of you are worried you’ll have to go on public assistance?
    Now tell me how many of you are MAD!

Council Vs Council Capelli Attacks NYCDCC

 UBC PULLS BACKDOOR ATTACK ON CONSENT DECREE NLRB  RULES FEDERAL JUDGES APPROVAL OF CBAS ILLEGAL AND HAS ORDERED THE FEDERAL JUDGE TO FIX THEM AND THEY ARE NOT BINDING AS THEY ARE.WILL THEY DARE FILE AN APPEAL IN FEDERAL COURT

NORTHEAST COUNCIL GETS NLRB TO ENFORCE 100% MOBILITY IN NYC. NEW YOUR CITY CARPENTERS THE SAME VICTIMS AS THE REST OF THE UBC

As you know Ballantyne is the New est for New Jersey or Northeast Council. The EST of any council does not do a thing unless the District vp it. Capelli is now in Spencer district VP spot. When this case started Spencer was directing Capelli who was still Council EST.

Mike Capelli and Northeast Council vs NYC Council.
The NYC Carpenters are under attack and the consent decree is being chopped away by the back door. GET THE Back door by the UBC. NYC was one of the only places left in the UBC not a victim of 100% mobility. In NYC they had full mobility with a 67/33 matching. The Cement League has permitted employers to select up to one
half of their work force for any given project, but required them, after the hiring of a foreman and a shop steward, to obtain the other half from the NYC Council out-of-work list; this being a nonexclusive referral system which was not limited to members of the affiliated local unions of the NYC Council. The General Counsel and the Charging Party argue that articles VI and VII encourage employees to become members of the NYC Council and to drop their membership in the Northeast Council because those provisions state that when an employer wants to hire employees of its own choosing, the employees that it hires for a New York City project, who are not members of the District Council, must be matched, essentially on a 50-50 basis, from the NYC Council’s job referral list.Other parts included

Article VII, Section 2:
For jobs only requiring one (1) or two (2) employees, the Employer will be
  permitted to work without a certified shop steward without a time limitation. Any
employee who is not a member of the District Council will be matched 1:1 from
the District Council’s Job Referral List.

BECAUSE HIS LAST NAME IS MCCARRON

Ed Ripley the SWRCC Training fund director has been accused by of the EBSA of Waxing the Denali he was forced to buy.... twice!!!!legal counsel to the training fund Decarlo and Shanley actually had records of when Ed Ripley Washed and Waxed his Denali. Decarlo claimed Ed Ripley Regularly used the training funds assets to wash his Denali and had it waxed once or twice a year.
 NO! NO! NO! Says the EBSA.Despite the Training Fund Legal Counsel Decarlo and Shanley claiming the Denali was Waxed on a Bi Annual Basis records indicate Ripley incurred charges at an Irvine area car wash on two occasions. Once of April 6,2012 for $45.99 and once again on May 4,2015 for $44.99 . Damn you Ed we told you we had coupons.Never have I heard of such blatant acts of skulduggery. I wonder if ED RIPLEY HAD TO WAX THE DENALI WHEN HE DID BECAUSE MAGIC MIKE MADE HIM DO IT.

 
     LET ME IF I,JOHN Q PUBLIC, HAVE THIS CORRECT . PHYLIS BORZI IS TRAVELING THE WORLD ATTENDING SUMMITS WITH SIMILAR INTERNATIONAL UNION LEADERS LIKE THESE (DOUG MCcARRON,MIKE DRAPER)WHO "REVIEWED AND RATIFIED ALL EXPENSES OF THE TRAINING FUND INCLUDING THE LEASE PAYMENTS". SHE HAS BEEN ATTENDING AEIP SUMMITS AND CONSPIRING TO ATTACK THE VERY ERISA LAW SHE WAS HIRED TO PROTECT AND ENFORCE SO THEY CAN ROB AMERICAN RETIREES.


BACK HOME WHILE SHE IS AWAY THE REGIONAL OFFICE IS INVESTIGATING HOW MANY TIMES ED RIPLEY WAXED HIS DENALI AND.... 

The EBSA Regional Office using our tax dollars wants us to be aware of the following.. The Denali moniker is used by GMC to indicate its luxury line of vehicles....The GMC Yukon Denail is 33% more expensive than the Non GMC Yukon...Te GMC Yukon is highly inefficient when compared to other vehicles 14 mpg in the city and 19 mpg on the highway. The EBSA also wants you to know that the Yukon Denali was even worse with only 12mpg city PROBABLY due to it having the 6.2L versus the 4.8L Engine.You cant make this s...t up. While the Asst Sec of the EBSA Phylis Borzi is flying the world screwing American retirees her employees are ding mileage comparisons on Yukons. I wonder if they actually researched it or just reprinted a report Decarlo and Shanley wrote as part of their hatchet job on Ed Ripley... The EBSA for you pleasure included " The Table below compares the ownership costs of a Denali to a grouping of other vehicles...

      We the EBSA declare... The Board,the individual Trustees,and director Ripley failed to discharge their fiduciary duties with regard to the Training fund, failed to discharge reasonable expenses of the training fund,acted imprudently and allowed assets of the Training fund and violated Sections 404(a) (1)(A) and (B) and 406(a)(1)(D) and Section 406 (B)(1)..THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS SERVED AS UNION AND EMPLOYER TRUSTEES and Board Members : CURTIS CONYERS,DOUGLAS MCCARRON AND RICHARD HARRIS,MARC FURMAN, JIM BERNSEN,GORDON HUBEL,FLOYD CLAY,TRAVIS WINDSOR,RICHARD POZZO J.D HERRON,RANDY THORNHILL,TOM CAITLAN,JEFFREY WHITTLE,RAYMOND HUGHES,AND MIKE MCCARRON.. THE INVESTIGATION DETERMINED THAT THE BOARD AND THE TRUSTEES INDIVIDUALLY CONTINUED TO HAVE THE DUTY TO MONITOR THE ACTIONS OF THE DIRECTOR AND PAYMENT OF THE TRAINING FUND EXPENSES.FURTHERMORE THE INVESTIGATION REVEALED THAT THE BOARD REVIEWED AND RATIFIED ALL EXPENSES OF THE TRAINING FUND INCLUDING THE LEASE PAYMENTS

BREAKING NEWS "MAGIC MIKE MADE ME DO IT"

ED RIPLEY DECLARES MIKE MCCARRON FORCED HIM TO BUY HIMSELF A $58,167.46 GMC DENALI

RIPLEY CLAIMS MIKE MCCARRON NOT AS EST BUT AS ONE OF 16 TRAINING FUND TRUSTEES WHICH INCLUDED DIRTY DOUG, TWEEDLE DEE DRAPER,CURTIS CONYERS AND OTHERS WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO MADE HIM BUY THE DENALI  

MORE TO COME ON THE DENALI INCLUDING THE EBSA TAX PAYER FUNDED GAS AND MILEAGE COMPARISONS AND HOW IT COMPARES TO STANDS UP TO OTHER VEHICLES IN ITS CLASS...


So lets get this correct:

AN EBSA AUDIT STATES DURING THE PERIOD COVERED BY THE INVESTIGATION JANUARY 1, 2010 THRU FEB 28,2015THE FOLLOWING INDIVIDUALS SERVED AS UNION AND EMPLOYER TRUSTEES CURTIS CONYERS,DOUGLAS MCCARRON AND RICHARD HARRIS,MARC FURMAN, JIM BERNSEN,GORDON HUBEL,FLOYD CLAY,TRAVIS WINDSOR,RICHARD POZZO J.D HERRON,RANDY THORNHILL,TOM CAITLAN,JEFFREY WHITTLE,RAYMOND HUGHES,MIKE DRAPER AND MIKE MCCARRON .AS STATED IN THE TRUST AGREEMENT EACH INDIVIDUAL TRUSTEE ACCEPTS DESIGNATION AS A FIDUCIARY OF THE TRAINING FUND

AS I NOTED THIS OFFICE HAS CONCLUDED ITS INVESTIGATION OF THE TRAINING FUND AND OF THE ACTIVITIES OF ITS FIDUCIARIES.BASED ON THE FACTS GATHERED DURING THAT INVESTIGATION IT APPEARED THAT THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES,THE TRUSTEES INDIVIDUALLY AND EDWARD RIPLEY AS FIDUCIARIES BREACHED THEIR FIDUCIARY OBLIGATIONS TO THE TRAINING FUND AND VIOLATED SEVERAL PROVISIONS OF ERISA.THE SPECIFIC ACTIONS WE BELIEVED THAT VIOLATED ERISA WERE DETAILED IN MY PREVIOUS LETTER.

BACK IN JUNE IT WAS DECLARED TO THE FEDERAL COURT AND JUDGE SELNA THAT ED RIPLEY WAS GUILTY OF GRAFT AND TAKING PAYOFFS AND KICKBACKS FROM MIKE MCCARRON

THEY TRIED TO TELL THE COURT THAT 

THE TRAINING FUND HAD BEEN DECLARED BY THE DECARLO AND PECKER HEAD LAW FIRM AS AN "INNOCENT PARTY"
 (4) by giving the Training Director illegal bonuses in violation of Section 406(b)(3)3 (see ECF No. 261-3),

AND THEY HAD  VIOLATED THE LAW
(5) by not disclosing to the other trustees these bonuses, and

Report: Organization consolidating into regional council in N.J.
Labor Carpenters Union Spring Garden Philadelphia
By Michael Tanenbaum and Daniel Craig

The longtime head of the Philadelphia carpenters union is out as part of a reconstruction plan ordered by the president of the national United Brotherhood of Carpenters.
The Philadelphia-based regional council will be consolidated under the Northeast Regional Council of Carpenters, based in Edison, New Jersey.

It was not immediately clear if Coryell would have a role in the newly restructured labor organization.

At the union hall at 18th and Spring Garden streets on Wednesday evening, the locked doors were plastered with individual notices to each union based there, informing members about the restructuring plan.

Edward Coryell Sr., the business manager of Local 8 and president of the Metropolitan Regional Council, an umbrella group of carpenters unions and headquartered on Spring Garden Street, was ousted from the labor organization he had led since 1976.

At the direction of the UBC General President Doug McCarron, the Metropolitan Regional Council of Carpenters has been closed as part of a local union reconstruction plan," the notices read.

Two union officials behind the halls locked, glass doors refused to comment on the changes.

All assets of the regional office will be transferred to the Northeast Regional Council of Carpenters, which includes New Jersey and New York.

Shortly after 5 p.m., the Metropolitan Regional Council of Carpenters website began automatically redirecting visitors to the United Brotherhood of Carpenters Eastern District website.

There, an unsigned note on the site's homepage stated as of Wednesday, the Metropolitan Regional Council of Carpenters "and all locals under its jurisdiction have been disbanded and merged" into one of three regional councils – the Northeast Regional Council of Carpenters, the Keystone + Mountain + Lakes Regional Council and the Eastern Millwright Regional Council.

The website notice further stated that, "As a new member of the Northeast Council, your Executive Secretary-Treasurer is John Ballantyne, whose office is ready to address any questions or inquires you may have regarding this matter."

The Northeast Regional Council now will be comprised of nearly 40,000 members covering the states of Delaware and New Jersey, plus parts of Maryland, New York and Pennsylvania.

In addition to Local 8, the following locals will report to the Northeast Council: 37, 1050,1856, 1073, 122, 465, 600, 1462, 1595, 626, 845, 2012, 101, 132, 1694, 359, 1823, 454, or 2311

A press release from the union said Coryell is cooperating with the transition and the move is meant to expand the strength of the organization, the Inquirer reported.

THE LAW AND COURTS DECLARE:

(COURTESY OF AN ASTUTE UBC MEMBER.ALL CREDIT GIVEN) 

 As explained by Senator Ball, one of the two sponsors of the provision, the "sole purpose" of 302 (c) (5) is to ensure that employee benefit trust funds "are legitimate trust funds, used actually for the specified benefits to the employees of the employers who contribute to them . . . ." 93 Cong. Rec. 4678 (1947).

Senator Ball stated that "all we seek to do by [ 302 (c) (5)] is to make sure that the employees whose labor builds this fund and are really entitled to benefits under it shall receive the benefits; that it is a trust fund, and that, if necessary, they can go into court and obtain the benefits to which they are entitled." Id., at 4753; see H. R. Conf. Rep. No. 510, 80th Cong., 1st Sess., 66-67 (1947), 1 NLRB, Legislative History of the Labor-Management Relations Act, 1947, p. 570 (1948) (Leg. Hist. LMRA). The debates on 302 (c) (5) further reveal Congress' intent to cast employee benefit plans in traditional trust form precisely because fiduciary standards long established in equity would best protect employee beneficiaries.

  

Pension Funds are to be used for the direct benefit of every Unions retirees/pensioners - as opposed to inure to the profit & loss column of multi-billionaire Developers such as is clearly evinced here.

 YES DOUGY WE ARE BYPASSING YOUR PAL BORZI AT THE EBSA AND CALLING FOR AN INVESTIGATION INTO HER RELATIONSHIP WITH THE NCCMP AND AN INVESTIGATION INTO THE MISSING PARTS OF THE 5500S THE EBSA CLAIMS NEEDS TO BE "REDACTED"BULLSHIT

  

"Related launched its fund management business during the global financial crisis, as the company began to encounter a number of distressed investment opportunities. Shortly after hiring Metz, previously the global head of real estate alternatives at Goldman Sachs, to head up the new business in 2009, the company made its first foray into real estate funds through a rather ingenious move.

The initial venture was Related UBC Opportunity Fund, a construction loan fund that was backed by a $100 Million commitment from the United Brotherhood of Carpenters [and Joiners of America], many of whose members then were out of work because of project cancellations or delays during the global financial crisis. The vehicle originated approximately $250 Million in loans for projects across the U.S. (for which there is no formal tracking and/or accountability and/or reporting to ERISA/EBSA & DOL officials, and/or profit/loss statements etc.) with one restriction:all developments that received financing from the fund had to use Carpenters labor. (again, no formal tracking, reporting or accountability etc AND A LIE.) THE REQUIREMENTS ARE NEUTRALITY AGREEMENTS AND

"At that time in the market, it was very difficult to get construction financing,: said Metz. "Banks were scarred, ending up with projects that they never intended to own. They weren't making loans so we saw an opportunity and went into the construction lending business.""

{Newsflash Genius: The UBCJA is not a Bank (re: First Trade forced divestiture (post-facto) of 96% of its assets per the Congress & SEC), but apparently Doug McCarron thinks he, via autocratic fiat and unilateral stupidity is above the Congress & the law(s) of the United States and decided that the UBCJA was in fact now going to act as a Bank in violation of known regulations.

Pension Funds are to be used for the direct benefit of every Unions retirees/pensioners - as opposed to inure to the profit & loss column of multi-billionaire Developers such as is clearly evinced here.

Moreoever, the tit for tat mob style multi-state racketeering scam qualifies for Hobbs Act extortion and criminal racketeering under RICO statutes. Hard working UBCJA carpenters are not the pawns or patsies for unsecured illegal loans designed primarily to enrich & line the pockets of the wealthy 1% and deny the primary investors (working carpenters) dividends earned upon the theft of their retirement funds. What is very clear here is this tit for tat  arrangement wherein we finance the projects, take an immediate 20% reduction in wages via PLA's negotiated with UBC yes men e.g. (paid Council morons) as a concession to use our money to fund the Developers directly and get absolutely nothing on the back end in the form of declared dividends/interest on said loans (theft of funds) and/or no direct Ownership rights in any project thus developed with said funds - both the extortion & racketeering element are clearly satisfied}

WATCH CLOSELY THE ACTIONS TAKEN WITH THE SEIZED COUNCILS FUNDS

THE GOETHALS BRIDGE PROJECT

ONE SUNNY DAY IN 2005 IN BARCELONA SPIAN. THE NCCMP, MEBCO, AEIP AND THE EBSA DECIDE TO BUILD A SHIT BRIDGE "THE GOETHALS BRIDGE"T0 A SHIT HOLE CALLED STATEN ISLAND.WHO WOULD HAVE THOUGHT.

  

IT WAS HERE IN SPAIN THAT THESE GROUP OF ASSHOLES DECIDED TO RAPE PILLAGE AND BURN PENSION CHECKS. THEY HAD BEEN LOOKING INTO IT BUT NOW DECIDED THEY WERE GOING   PUBLIC WITH A BLATANT ATTACK ON ERISA

NOW HERE WE GO!!

THEY ALL DO NOT HAVE A CLUE WHAT THEIR DOING SO THEY CALL IN THE EXPERT AUSSIE TEAM AT MAQUARIE WHO ALSO HAD SOME EXPERIENCE BUT WERE HARDLY EXPERTS.

NOW THE UBC FORMS MULTIPLE PARTNERSHIPS WITH MORE TO COME.THE UBC PARTNER WITH MACQUARIE INFRASTRUCTURE PARTNERS I,MACQUARIE INFRASTRUCTURE PARTNERS II AND MACQUARIE INFRASTRUCTURE PARTNERS III.ON JUST ONE FUND ALONE, THE SWRCC PENSION FUND WHICH DOUG MCCARRON AND JOHN DECARLO CONSPIRED TO STEAL FROM EST MIKE MCCARRON AND STEAL THE FUNDS FROM RON SCHEON, MACQUARIE INFRASTRUCTURE IS BEING HANDED 175 MILLION. LOOK HOW MANY SWRCC EMPLOYEES HAVE BEEN FIRED OR RETIRED. LOOK AT A FEW LOW LIFE SCUM THEY HAVE BROUGHT OUT OF RETIREMENT

NOW HERE WE HAVE THE FAKE COAL MINE SCAM THAT THE SEC CAUGHT MACQUARIE CAPITAL SCREWING INVESTORS. IT IS DECLARED THE REASON MACQUARIE CAPITAL WAS CAUGHT IS BECAUSE THE SEC WAS INVESTIGATING US BACKDOOR COMPANYS THAT ALLOWED CHINESE BUSINESS TO GET IN THE STATES BY PARTNERSHIPS KIND OF LIKE THE ULLICO INFRASTRUCTURE PARTNERS THE ULLICO BOYS TRAVELED TO CHINA TO OBTAIN IN 2012.AMERICAN INVESTORS ADVISED BY MAJOR LAW FIRMS RAISED THE CAPITAL FROM INVESTORS WHEN THE FRAUD WAS SPELLED OUT IN DOCUMENTS THAT WERE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE IN CHINA MONTHS BEFORE THEY RAISED ANY MONEY. THE NY TIMES SAID THE MOST AMAZING PART WAS HOW EASY IT WAS TO DISCOVER THE FRAUD

SO THE SEC GOES AFTER THE PUDA COAL SCAM AND MACQUARIE CAPITAL.:  
NOW  IDENTIFIED AS MCUSA(MACQUARIE CAPITAL USA???)
  The Complaint On March 27, 2015, the Commission filed a complaint against MCUSA and two individuals, Aaron Black and William F. Fang, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (the "Complaint"), alleging violations of Sections 17(a)(2) and 17(a)(3) of the Securities Act. As discussed below, MCUSA consented to the entry of the Final Judgment without admitting or denying the allegations made in the Complaint. According to the Complaint, MCUSA was the lead underwriter of a follow-on registered offering of common stock in December 2010 by Puda Coal, Inc. ("Puda Coal"), a Delaware corporation that purported to own a coal company in the People's Republic of China ("PRC"), named the Shanxi Puda Coal Group Co., Ltd ("Shanxi Coal"). According to the Complaint, in the offering documents, Puda Coal falsely disclosed that it held a 90% ownership stake in Shanxi Coal. Those statements were repeated in the marketing materials for the offering despite the fact that MCUSA had received a report from Kroll Associates Inc. ("Kroll") showing that Puda Coal did not own any part of Shanxi Coal. The Complaint alleges that, according to corporate registry filings in the PRC that Kroll accessed in its due diligence review, Puda Coal's chairman had transferred ownership of Shanxi Coal to himself and then sold nearly half of his interest to the largest state-owned investment firm in the PRC. Hence, at the time of the offering, Puda Coal no longer had any ownership stake in, or source of revenue from, Shanxi Coal

SO WHAT DOES THE SEC DO.
MCUSA IS FINED $15 MILLION AMERICAN DOLLARS BY THE SEC. MCUSA IS TOLD BY THE SEC THAT IT MUST MAKE ALL INVESTORS WHOLE. THEY MUST COME UP WITH A PLAN TO REPAY EVERY PARTY WHO LOST AMOUNT YET TO BE ANNOUNCED AND MCUSA IS DISQUALIFIED FOR 5 YEARS BY THE SEC UNDER RULE 506 (D)(1)..NOW AS A LAYMAN TRYING TO SORT OUT THE 506 RULES I READ THIS "OVERVIEW OF THE BAD ACTOR RULE.RULE 506 (D)(1) PROVIDES THE EXEMPTIONS IN 506(B)AND 506(C) ARE NOT AVAILABLE IF THE COVERED PERSON HAS HAD A DISQUALIFYING EVENT WITH A 5 YEAR LOOK BACK PERIOD

SO NOW IT APPEARS MCUSA CAN APPLY FOR A WAIVER OF THE 5 YEAR SHUT DOWN AND THEY DO. DO THEY APOLOGIZE FOR SCREWING INVESTORS. DO THEY BEG FORGIVENESS FOR ANY PENSION FUND MONEY THEY NOW HAVE TO USE TO PAY THE $15 MILLION AND THE MILLIONS IN MAKE PEOPLE  WHOLE PROGRAM. DO THEY OFFER TO TAKE THE MONEY FROM THEIR OWN POCKET??.NO!!!!THEY WHINED AND CRIED!WE PAID 15 MILLION ALREADY. WE HAVE TO PAY BACK INVESTORS AND BOOO F.... HOO HOO

BOO HOO SPEECH

We submit that the impact of Rule 506( d)(l )' s disqualification on MCUSA, its affiliates and its clients today, and over the next five years in the event the waiver is not granted, is grossly disproportionate to the conduct at issue in the Final Judgment- and for which MCUSA has paid $15 million and will fund the costs of a Fair Fund to compensate investors. In light of the limited nature of the violation, the enforcement remedies already obtained by entry of the Final Judgment, and the remedial measures taken since 2011,
 BOO HOO SPEECH AND BUY OFF OUR WAIVER FORM THE SEC SPEECH
Sebastian Gomez Abero is the largest infrastructure asset manager in the world and relies on Rule 506 to raise capital in all of its private funds that are marketed to U.S. investors through MCUSA.For example, Macquarie Infrastructure and Real Assets ("MIRA"), the infrastructure fund management business within Macquarie Asset Management.

WHAT THE BLANK DOES MCUSA HAVE TO DO WITH MAQUARIE INFRASTRUCTURE I.MAQUARIE INFRASTRUCTURE II OR MAQUARIE INFRASTRUCTURE III. 
  AND!!!! WAIT FOR IT..AND!!! HERE IT COMES!!! 
WHAT WE FORGOT TO TELL YOU!!!!

IS THAT MACQUARIE INFRASTRUCTURE PARTNERS III, OUR PARTNERSHIP WITH UNION PENSION FUNDS THAT WE HAVE BEEN SUCKING MONEY OUT OF FOR YEARS NOW.... CAUSE WE IS AN
EXPERT AUSSIE TEAM CONTACTED BY THE UBC FOR US TO SHOW THEM THE PENSION FUND INFRASTRUCTURE SCAM BUSINESS,
MACQUARIE INFRASTRUCTURE PARTNERS III IS SITTING ON $3 BILLION DOLLARS. WE JSUT COMPLETED RAISING $3 BILLION IN 2014 AND I DONT NOW IF ANYBODY TOLD YOU OR NOT BUT WE PLANNED ON USING THAT $3 BILLION TO REBUILD THE GOETHALS BRIDGE WHICH CONNECTS STATEN ISLAND AND NEW JERSEY. IF WE DONT DO IT THE TAX PAYERS WOULD HAVE TO PICK UP THAT BURDEN

 THEY BOO HOOED
"If MIRA were to continue to be disqualified from raising capital for its funds over the next five years in reliance on Rule 506, then, once its existing capital is spent, it would be materially impaired in its ability to finance new infrastructure projects," 

SO WITH A WAIVER ON OUR 5 YEAR BAN WE WOULD USE THAT $3 BILLION TO
 REBUILD THE GOETHALS BRIDGE AND DID WE TELL YOU WE WOULD PUT UP..NOW WAIT FOR IT!! HERE IT IS!!!!
 90% OF THE EQUITY THAT UNDERPINS THE PROJECT.AND THEIRS MORE .iF YOU WAIVE OUR BAN FOR 40 YEARS WE WILL DESIGN,BUILD,FINANCE AND MAINTAIN THE BRIDGE

YES IM NOT KIDDING 40 YEAR CONTRACT WHERE WE WILL DESIGN,BUILD,FINANCE AND MAINTAIN THE BRIDGE 
AND 90% OF THE PROJECTS FUNDING FROM MAQUARIES
INFRASTRUCTURE PARTNERS III(WELL OH YEA THE MONEY WILL BE COMING FROM THE SWRCC PENSION FUND AND OUR OTHER PENSION FUND PARTNERS)

FAKE COAL MINES AND BUYING OF THE SEC.TRADING 5 YEAR BANS FOR ONE WAVIER AND I BRIDGE
