CARPENTERS SETTLE WITH UNION LEADER WHO ALLEGED FIRING WAS FOR WHISTLE BLOWING
Ryan Hutchins 1/30/2019
A former high-ranking official in the powerful Northeast Regional
Council of Carpenters has settled a lawsuit in which he alleged he was
fired after uncovering malfeasance that had the blessing of some of the
international union's top leaders.
The complaint, filed in New Jersey Superior Court in October by John Ballantyne and two other former union employees, was dismissed with prejudice earlier this month after the union and the plaintiffs came to an agreement, court records show.
Nancy Erika Smith, a prominent civil rights and employment lawyer who filed the suit, said Wednesday the case had been "amicably resolved." She declined to disclose the size of the settlement or discuss other details.

No response .Over 4 months
And now it is kicked up to the appropriate agencies that have jurisdiction over the charges .
This is moving way to slow .
If you read just this blog.... There are a couple of people on here who have literally taken the feds by the hand and walked them through with an ACTUAL roadmap of who where when how most of the players, who they are backed by, why they did what they did, where they did it ..who they did it with to include major politicians , other labor unions, financiers, and beneficiaries .
Alllll with documentation where needed.... Some with the documentation that these investigators can readily get ya know, by doing their jobs..
You have almost the complete scandals and timelines laid out here ..anddd ohhhhh there is soooo much more .
It would seem that there really is no justice or oversight. Perhaps that is why it continues with impugnity .
Come on feds .Its not that hard ..we did the yeomans work for you .
Having Doug McCarran investigate crimes Committed by himself ,Frank Spencer and Michael Capelli is a lot like having the fox guarding the hen house. But I do understand you have to start somewhere and get a paper trail started.
The point was to exhaust relief from the union using by laws , rules, and constitution to create a papertrail .
All formality .No response was ever expected ..it does however trigger fed intervention .
fbi when will you step in and check john robinson phone the night of the dui/coverup whoever he called after the accident my guess it was the mayor who called the police to let this guy walk an investigation needs to be done
As a member you could submit a letter to the EST, Robinson’s employer, and ask for all Council provided cell phone records and the vehicle black box info because as a dues paying member all of that information is derived from your dues, and therefore subject to your inspection. Just make sure to send the letter via certified mail return receipt requested. You could also CC the local and then they’d have to read the letter at the meeting. If your not comfortable doing it then find a retiree to send the letter. He’s entitled to the info provided he pays dues. That will twist em up real tight!!!!
Frank Spencers 1st racketeering gig used to be as a steward .
Anyone else remember getting shaken down for ( at the time) 50 dollars a week cash for " pickett duty" when we were " out of council"?
I used to tell him f you ..wheres the pickett and what time ..ill stand it .
He said " you cant, you are from philly" i said oh ..but i can pay cash ..yeah sounds legit .
( spencer hated me because i gave him a check for 50 with the name blank ..i still have alllll the returned checks with realllly vague signatures .
Wannna bet they were Geri signing them?
