THE HEADLINES READS
In December Review Officer (“RO”) Dennis Walsh, issued his First Interim Report,
which was filed in federal court in Manhattan, accompanied by hundreds
of pages of exhibits, and included evidence and troubling allegations
that the council remains influenced by the mob and is still a source of
cash and illicit benefits for a select few.
“My office has deep historical knowledge and is developing current information about actual and attempted influence of organized crime over the affairs of the district council and the funds,” the RO, wrote in the report. “We have developed sufficient information to reasonably suspect that there are certain district council employees who have been and are currently under the influence of La Cosa Nostra figures.”
The report said individuals involved in running some of the local unions were under scrutiny for similar ties, something that Walsh said was “a matter of grave import” that remained under investigation.
In an email, the RO said he has begun a new phase of investigation pertaining to organized crime influence over the affairs of the District Council, its affiliated local unions and members. As part of the investigation, employees of the District Council are asked to disclose any information that they have about such conduct other than what they may know from the information available from the docketed materials in U.S. v. District Council (90 Civ. 5722) or from media accounts.
Those who say that they have no such information are asked to confirm their response by signing a declaration under penalty of perjury pursuant to Paragraph 5.d of the Stipulation and Order entered on June 3, 2010 (which grants the RO the authority, among other things, to compel sworn statements of any officer, agent, representative, employee, trustee or member of the District Council or the Benefit Funds concerning any matter within the RO’s authority).
All such persons are given a reasonable opportunity to consider their options and to consult with an attorney and may invoke their privilege against self-incrimination. All such persons are required to cooperate with the RO in this undertaking pursuant to Paragraph 7 of the Stipulation and Order. Failure to comply with the undertaking or invocation of the right against self-incrimination may subject persons to action pursuant to Paragraph 7, which makes failure to cooperate an express violation of the Stipulation and Order, as well as Paragraphs 5.b and 5.f.
The investigation is broad in scope and many employees (as well as persons affiliated with the Benefit Funds) can expect to be interviewed in the near future.

THIS MAN
AND OTHERS REFUSED TO DECLARE THEY WERE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE MOB IN NYC
And Another Carpenter Union Leader Bites The Dust
Council organizer/Local 926 Financial Secretary, Ray Brugeras, has also suddenly resigned last week.
Sources say Brugueras is the third person to resign because he refused to sign an affidavit from the Review Officer, Dennis Walsh, stating he's not connected to or has any knowledge of organized crime influence over the district council. Richard Tuccillo and Paul Pietropaolo also resigned and did not sign the affidavit.
Brugeras was Director Eddie McWilliams, deputy in Organizing and hired last year at the request of Joe Olivieri, an informed source said.

CARPENTERS UNION MULLS WAYS TO ROOT OUT MOB
Members with suspected ties to organized crime are targeted
New York City District Council of Carpenters’s Monitor Glen McGorty and
New York City District Council of Carpenters executive
secretary-treasurer Joseph Geiger
"Nearly three decades ago, following a string of scandals that ensnared
its top leadership, the District Council agreed to supervision by a
court-appointed monitor to help root out organized crime. Now, as the
union works toward independence, it’s mulling whether or not to change
how it removes members affiliated with the mafia"
SIDE NOTE:THANK YOU REAL DEAL
The parent — the United Brotherhood of Carpenters — is also facing its own issues. In September, George Laufenberg, a former retirement fund administrator, was indicted on embezzlement and other charges. A New Jersey grand jury sent subpoenas to the union and other affiliates in November.

When will the membership and the feds realize that McCarron is the one that is connected
Further proof that Doug McCarron is the problem
I would have to argue doug is a scared ass grown man he has bodyguards to protect him from his members if that does not tell you hes up to no good I don't know what will and frankspencer is the link to the mob and trust me frank is running the show not doug at least for a littlewhile anyway se you boys you are going down the time has come for new leadership
Ray say it ain’t so.......??? Is there anyone else not fit to serve from NYC throng employed by the fake regional Council covering PHILADELPHIA?
All of the general officers of this UBC are rotten to the core, lying bastard thieves who should be sent to prision
I had always heard that Frank looked out for contractors who only paid eight hours a day in the check, the rest was paid in cash.
I assure you. Spencer is the mob thug running this shitshow.
Now. Since spencer is the conduit between
Nyc.
Sen Maj ldr nj steve sweeney
George Norcross III

Kevin Dougherty ( pa supreme court justice and johnny docs brother)
It seems odd.
Every one of them is under federal scrutiny.
But. It isnt related.
Dont look over here.
Ray Burgueras is a dedicated & honest man & labor leader. The UBC & Keystone Council’s members are lucky to have him.
‘
"Great labor leader and lucky to have him". Peachy. But his refusal to cooperate and sign the declaration raises enough of a question for him to sign one now and to pass a background check conducted by a legitimate agency other than of course the UBC criminal syndicate. Oh yes. And Billy Sproule is a great labor leader and the Keystone council is lucky yo have him as well.Correct??
I guess a fair question is if he is such a great labor leader why is he still not at the NYC District Council??
Dedicated and honest man? Did Ray's wife write that or maybe one of his kids?
My definition of a great labor leader is one who improves the working conditions of those he represents, increases wages and benefits, increases working opportunities for members and signatory contractors. Measured against that, who in the UBC is a great labor leader? Ed Coryell Sr. Where is Ed today?? Retired!! Why?? So the likes of Frank Spencer, Bill Sproule, John Robinson, Ray Brugueras, etc could continue their employment, now at the expense of the former members of the MRC. None of us want you representing us because you don’t represent us, but only your interests. What’s Ray’s duties?? He doesn’t do anything an administrative assistant could do for half the cost!!! Ray has the job he has not because of what he can do but because he’s friends with Spencer and Capelli!! Was there a search for applicants for that position?? Who was interviewed?? Who was invited to interview for that position?? Was their one round or two rounds of interviews?? What was the selection criteria?? Was a letter sent out to the membership alerting them of an opportunity to apply for the Chief of Staff position??
“ A great labor leader.....” Only another Council employee who is also stealing a pay check, would think Ray is a great labor leader!!!
We as former members of the MRC are not lucky to be subject to the failed management of the UBC which includes paying Ray Brugueras. Council Reps are having sex with other Council employees while on the clock, crashing Council cars off the clock, using money extorted from members who have not performed their MUP assignments to pay for outings, etc., etc., You Reps, who only perpetuate the exploitation of working members are going to need another job because this system is not going to last.......
One way or other the status quote is coming to an end with our without McCarron and Co. The UBC is not on a sustainable tract. If change doesn’t come from within it will come from the outside; if need be in the Courts!!! It can and will be successfully argued that we as members don’t have to pay dues to support activities that violate the will of the individual member!!! Change is coming!!!!!
We as members are not Represented by the UBC we are Repressed!!!
Hmmm. Curious. My question would be .... Being such a great labor leader.... It seems only doug mccarron recognizes this " amazing" leader and his skills
Nothing more needs to be said.
He is a corrupt piece of shit.
Show me 1 example. Just 1 person mccarron promotes that isnt about to be indicted.
Ill wait.
You cant.
Thus your statement is pure horse shit.
Leadership is a skill generally recognized and voted on by a member body with the true ability to hold them accountable and make necessary changes when warranted.
Mccarron appointing ANYONE automatically signals the person has zero integrity and is a puppet. Why ?
Because the whole system we have is protected by mccarron by appointing a " paid" protectorate up and down the chain.
If you think he is such a great leader. Lets put it to a true vote. 1 carpenter. 1 vote.
The " greatness" will quickly evaporate ..
We are everywhere.
We are recording everything.
We have all the documents.
We will not go away.
When this is all done. Ill send you the definition of what a great labor leader is.
Ps. We currently have none in any position.
Sproule is a hand picked toady that will rubber stamp whatever he is told to protect his job.
The epitome of " greatness" ?
I think not.
Its time for a vote of confidence. By rank and file.
No rep can be present before or during the vote.
1 member under the cba , 1 vote.
That excludes reps from being present as they arent under our cba and have no right to be present.
Lets vote.
We wont.
Because we would oust them all.
You i guess also feel that philadelphia carpenters should perhaps " thank you" for hostile takeover and stealing 2.6 billion dollars of our assetts and using us as an ATM.
Yeah. Go f yourself ballwashing sack of flesh.
A tradeshow carpenter.
Explains a lot.
The tradeshow industry especially in new york is one of THE most corrupt pig troughs in the country.
Think it isnt a big deal?
Ask us in phila how we got screwed by other political entities that interfered with the convention center tradeshows we used to work at.
Not to beat a dead horse.
Maybe some of the names that helped ruin us are recognizeable.
Ummm lets see.
George NorcrossIII.
A bitter , vindictive, cuck of a man who had an ax to grind with the phila carpenters when he was told back in 2002 to pound sand when he wanted control of our healthcare funds.
So much so, that he bought the phila inquirer out from under the carpenters and started an all out smear.
Bought his way into getting a seat on the convention center bod.
Hooked up with john dougherty ( local 98 ibew pres , and at the time , political power broker in phila .... Next to cong bob brady.
Norcross than bought childhood friend frank spencer ( vice pres of the carpenters eastern division)
Who then started money laundering pac monies through ( sweeney/ norcross appointee to nrcc ... Tricia mueller ... To funnel money and resources into destroying and taking over phila.
Frank Spencer gets mccarron to sign off on it... Nrcc hostlily and ILLEGALTLY takes phila ... Despite fed law citing that it must be a " equal to or greater than merger"
Which it wasnt.
Norcross then tried to refunnel phila healthcare contributions to new jersey horizon bc/bs.., laufenberg was part of this.
They got caught... And ballantyne knew the score.
Spencer than dissolves the nrcc to help hide the crimimal conduct of mccarron, spencer and cappeli.. Firing ballantyne.... Who was paid off a stilll unknown amount to walk away.
Any names seem familiar?
Meanwhile. Dougherty sets up bob brady and he " resigns" from congress leaving the political power open in phila.
( this part is supposition from connecting dots)
Norcross is wire tapped by the feds.
Dougherty is then arrested and charged with 114 counts.
( there can only be 1 and norcross wanted to be that 1)
Kml sputters and fails wasting millions of dollars as our leaders like vultures violate the ubc constitution and pick the bones leaving us in shambles.
Theres more.
Yet.
We are supposed to suspend reality and disbelief to think Ray " the rat man" B is an honorable and decent appointment.
Yeah. Ok.
If he can pass a background check by the feds ( which he cant) yet a lot of us in the field have to....
Again.
More men without integrity.
Why am I not Surprised, mccarron is the Problem
Doug McCarron puts these crooked assholes on the UBC payroll with hopes it will shelter them, silence them, so, he can keep an eye on them . . . because McCarron is tied to them. The UBC is a criminal enterprise and McCarron is its CEO. McCarron thinks he is clever and no one will figure out his scheme. But, it’s too late, everyone knows the United Brotherhood of Carpenters does not represent organized labor . . . it represents organized crime!
MCCARRON IS STUPID! MCCARRON APPOINTS, OR HIRES PEOPLE PLACED INTO POSITIONS WHO LACK INTELLIGENCE . . . IT MAKES MCARRON LOOK LIKE HE IS SMART, BUT MCCARRON IS NOT . . . HE IS AN IDIOT! MCCARRON SURROUNDS HIMESELF WITH INCOMPETENCE, WHO HAVE NO BALLS . . . AND JUST GO ALONG WITH MCCARRON’S CRIMINAL PROGRAM. IN TIME, THESE RATS WILL START JUMPING SHIP AND SQUEALING LIKE PIGS AS THE FEDS CLOSE IN ON THE MCCARRON ENTERPRISE
Doug is intellectually bereft.
The kool aide drinking morons that surround him ... Drooling... It says a couple things about you clowns.
1. You have IQs lower than mccarron .. Which is demonstrably low
2. You know he is a fool.. But continue to support him for your own interests ( where many of you are on this )
3. You are just a Dan Kiner.
Running on sheer stupidity and blindness despite facts being proven correct alll around you.. You stillll try to spin the shit.
The last group are not leaders.
The last group are sheep being led to slaughter.
A leader would without hesitation... Relay EVERY document to his member body.
Good or bad.
Have open discussion... Debate.. And where warranted , put it to an honest vote with ALLL the facts and all the names.
Leaders lead.
Liars pack union meetings with knuckledragging buffoons... Feed them a narrative designed to rile emotion. Then sham vote with a quarter of the facts... They then pat themselves on the backs and conspire with each other of how " good a job" they did deceiving the members and " puttting down any ideas or questions that threaten their positions"
See the difference.
We have zeroooooo leaders.
None.
We do have cowards though.
We have a wholllleeeee bunch of them.
The ubc should stand for
The United Brotherhood of Cowards.
You are all a disgrace.
Its all about the money. Look at the salaries that all of these douchebags are making. None of them have the backbone to speak truth to power, and none of them will as long as they are making the high dollar paycheck and benefits. Waterkup and Sproule will do anything that Doogie directs them to. Do not trust either of them, they both play like your buddy and then stick it in your back. Resist, and push back, and don't hesitate to question their authority and watch how red little Billy Waterkups face gets. He is on quite a power trip.
This trickles down to the reps also, want to keep your job and make the big bucks?? Then keep your f*cking mouth shut and do what your told, and without question the all fall into lockstep and do exactly that!!!
“Louis what are they building??? Marie they are building a guillotine..... The peasants have come to the conclusion that we are not worth supporting anymore, they also got really pissed about your comment, let them have cake.....”
Haaaa!!! That’s it Doug is Louie the King of the UBC, and Spencer is his wife, Marie Antoinette. Haaaaaa!!!!!
You know who is pissed?
A federal agency known as the IRS.
They were lied to for almost 4 years.
Im sure they are pretty embarrassed.
( if thats possible)
Im sure Doug got a pass bc of how much money went to democrat pacs.
As the IRS has been exposed under the last regime... The faces are changing and the new group is not amused at the moneylaundering scheme that the other party relied on.
Doug is losing " support" from above AND below.
Its time he walks before hes made to run.
Nyc Carpenters.. Boy reall y going after Ray who was chased out of town by Steve “Buckethead “McInnis or sexual predator as he resigned from being president of our Council.. Ray is Puerto Rican and not in mob like Paul”Paulie Boy” Carpurso who they put in charge after Ray .Nephew of Atillio Bitondo an former business representative at local 257. Now local 157 who was a made man in Genovese crime family who defrauding our benefit funds. And has two cousins who are al so relatives of Bitondo [ DiMarco and Madina] In Staten Island we have Mike Piccirello who’s Uncle Eddy was convicted of being a made man in Genovese crime family and defrauding the benefits funds. There is talk now that they are merging Ray s old local into local 20. Piccirello s local and Genovese... Then we have Albanian gangster s in our organizing office and IG’s office in Ramadan “Rambo” Ibric... Then we have Denis Gimbet who wrote this bull shit story on Ray in NYC and buddy of McInnis who got wife into our benefit s funds as a counselor after being thrown out of same job in Nycpd .... Denis by the way is up on charges of tell a fellow sister member of him going to slit her throat at a local 157 union meeting... So before you write this stuff know your facts !!! Rays a clean guy tarnished by a sexual predator in NYC called McInnis....
I have to say if that was meant to help Ray that didn’t really do the job, and it still leaves the question as to why he won’t sign the anti Mob Declaration unanswered. For clarification was it McInness who forced him out of NYC or an officer of the Court??
Alll he had to do was sign a document assuring the federal oversight.
Sorry. I admire your loyality.
It was simple. " are you connected to any mob or mafia groups or activities" yes. Or no.
Will you swear and attest to it?
No. Ohh ok.
Dear NYC...So for the record you are saying the story of Ray Brugueras refusing to sign the declaration is false???So there must be a signed one on file at the NYC Council.Correct. Also can you explain how it would be possible for Steve McInnis to "run him out of town" and to "tarnish him". So he would have no problem passing a background check any time for anywhere.. For instance. Many UBC Carpenters who work with their tools must pass both background and drug tests to work on certain jobs.Its a part of our trade.So I am sure Ray and the rest with have no problem submitting to one.Correct. I see you are STILL calling McInnis buckethead...Also if Denis Gimbet(not sure who that is)a UBC member wrote a false story wrote about Ray Brugeuras why was he not brought up on charges by the UBC??
All valid. All good points.
We do have a lot of background checks esp in government buildings and schools.
We all do drug testing for manyyyyy jobs.
All he had to do was affirm to a federal entity that was put in place because of past egregious conduct.
No matter what the story is.... The one presented ... Is shady and doesnt " read" well.
Given the propensity of allll the other handpicked lackeys doug appoints.... Even if they arent engaged in personal misconduct.... The reason they are picked is because they wont question Dougs obvious and documented " misconduct"..
See. In a court of law that makes them an accomplice , especially when their oath and duty are to be diligent about " misconduct, malfeasance" and other questionable activities.
Would someone please elaborate on the first picture in this particular blog.
Yes the one with Waterboy and Crapelli and about six other dipshits. It appears that they are in Puerto Rico? Any details?
Yes it is Puerto Rico with the Rebuild Puerto Rico project.Waterboy was the head of it.
I wonder what the expenditures in Puerto Rico look like!!!! I’m willing to bet the Reps play a lot harder down there then they do here, which is saying something..... By the way what is the UBC doing there, what has been accomplished, and what, most importantly, am I getting back on the spending of my dues money in an island in the Caribbean????
Reading this. Im totally convinced McCarron is a moron.
See. If im a fed.
Im saying to myself .... Ok. RB refused to sign documents in nyc as they were under federal oversight.... Ok.
Well perhaps its time to step in and provide the same federal custodianship in the new eastern atlantic states council, which was very recently the kml council, which was briefly the nrcc council, which was the mrcc. ( in 5 years)
Cant be anyyyyy corruption going on there as they " reorganize" 4 times in 5 years hiding money, accountability, and paper trails confused as rules and rights are deleted and disregarded.
Because there would be nothing to see over there right?
Comn. The federal agencies cant be as stupid as doug.... Or is the cash falling from their pockets as they tout integrity?
Sproule spent all his time in the shit house writing on the wall like the p.o.s. he is..
Question: Did Sproule and the other Council Executive Committee members vote them selves a raise last year???
Does cleaning up nyc look like what is going on in phila?
Rank and file have no vote. ( per ubc constitution)
Delegates not elected in going on 5 years when constitution clearly states every 3.
Its actually 8 years now but , counting back to 1st merger its 5.
Doug is " cleaning up" . translated.
Hes covering his criminal activities.
2020 is the year I evaluate my future in the UBC. If the management doesn’t change in a meaningful way, I’ll be looking for the exit.
Congratulations to delegate ( illegitimate) mike tomaszewski affectionately known as tomahawk in the phila region.
Mike was one of the 2 people from the mummers club " froggy carr" who decided in his best judgement to wear blackface in the mummers parade.
Yes of course it was a controversy.
Although i agree that any mummer should be allowed to express themselves in any fashion during the parade.... I question the judgement.
Tomahawk has been rubberstamping the mccarron agenda now for quite a while since we no longer elect delegates.... As we should.
So. To the case of judgement .... And the irony is astonishing.
Not only was tomahawk on board with the destruction of the long history and tradition of the phila carpenters union founded on 12 aug 1881.... That wasnt enough for him to trash. Now he potentially has destroyed the history and tradition of the mummers who have a history nearly as long as the carpenters... Roughly the 1890s.
Judgement.
This man votes how hes told by the ubc.
I wonder if he was a delegate in froggy car also.
Good job mike.
Your judgement cost froggy carr ( est in the 70s) and your other judgements have allowed mccarron to fck over every carpenter in your region.
When are we entitled to elect new delegates. The ubc constitution states every 3 years.
We are past that.
Its time.
Another black eye for the ubc.
Thanks dickhead.
Certainly the ubc and the local will remedy and rectify this situation right?
I mean we do not support this behavior as we are shown and told by the " policies" and " appointments" that the ubc sooo desperately fakes.
Heres a fcking concept.
Vote. 1 carpenter. 1 vote.
No reps or agents present since none of you have our interest at heart and you arent under our cba.
Heres another concept. This one is reallllly twilight zone ...,
Instead of appointees because if skin color, religion, gender ( yes layla im talking about you)
How about we VOTE.
Perhaps to go one step further... The best credentialed candidates, with a proven work history, and isnt the son in law or cousin of the former or current biz agent ( yes Guy, im talking about you) ya know.... A real rank and file carpenter. A true journeyman who has relied solely on his tools and knowledge and knowledge of the craft and all disciplines.
Why shouldnt that person be the face of the carpenters.?
Seema to me , the best face, is an ACTUAL dedicated carpenter.
Not lackeys who relied on familial appointments or quotas and affirmative action.
This organization is doomed if those that support it and work their asses off to be the best they can be .... Yet the door is slammed shut in their face.
Its an obvious exercise in mediocrity and we all suffer.
Times they are a changin!!!
