11 UNION OFFICIALS INDICTED ON RACKETEERING AND FRAUD

Eleven top union officials in the construction industry on Long Island have been indicted by federal authorities on allegations of accepting bribes totaling over $100,000 following a two-year wiretap investigation that began in Suffolk County, officials announced Thursday.
Authorities allege the defendants — current and former members of Local 638, a union with jurisdiction over pipe fitting on Long Island and in New York City — agreed to accept dozens of bribes, beginning in October 2018, "to corruptly influence the construction industry at the expense of labor unions and their own members who they’re supposed to be representing," according to Manhattan federal prosecutors and the Suffolk County District Attorney's Office.
Prosecutors alleged the bribes were in exchange for "acquiescing in the bidding and performing of construction work with non-union labor for plumbing and pipe fitting projects that would otherwise have potentially been awarded to companies whose employees were represented by Local 638 or Local 200."
Plumbers Local Union #200 of the United Association, based in Ronkonkoma, has jurisdiction for all plumbing work in Nassau and Suffolk counties, according to its website.
Several of the defendants, according to the indictment, met unidentified business owners at restaurants across the metropolitan area, including Long Beach, Melville, Rockville Centre and Commack, to collect the bribes.
Among those indicted were James Cahill, 71, of upstate Pearl River, president of the New York State Building and Construction Trade Council, which represents over 200,000 unionized construction workers across the state. Prosecutors allege Cahill was the leader of the so-called "enterprise," which they said "conspired to accept cash bribes, as well as bribes in the form of 'loans' that were never repaid, free meals and drinks, free labor on personal property, and purchases of home appliances."
Cahill, also a member of the executive council for the New York State American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations or the NYS AFL-CIO, is charged with racketeering conspiracy, honest services fraud conspiracy and conspiracy to violate the Taft-Hartley Act.
Sam Talkin, an attorney for Cahill, said: "We're pleading not guilty and we deny the allegations."
Attorneys for the other defendants could not immediately be reached Thursday afternoon. No one answered the phone at Local 200. A woman who answered the phone at the Long Island City-based Steamfitters Local 638 said: "We have no comment at this time."
Suffolk County District Attorney Timothy D. Sini, whose office brought the case to the U.S. attorney's office, said in a statement: "These union officials — who purported to be the ones looking out for workers and their rights — were in fact engaged in an enterprise of corruption at the expense of the hardworking men and women they claimed to represent. This was a complete betrayal of these unions and their membership. Our two-year wiretap investigation uncovered a shocking level of greed and corruption, and the investigation is very much ongoing."
According to the indictment, Cahill "influenced Local 638’s elections and installed loyal associates into official positions" within the union and "initiated several Local 638 officials into the 'Enterprise' so they could accept bribes and expand their influence."
During one meeting, according to the indictment, Cahill told an unnamed employer not to sign with a union, but instead to "tell everyone to go [expletive] themselves" because "if you become union, you’ll have 12 [expletive] guys on your back."
In addition to Cahill, other union officials indicted were Christopher Kraft, 43, of Commack, a Local 638 official representing Manhattan; Patrick Hill, 45, of Rockville Centre, who represented Nassau County; Matthew Norton, 56, of Syosset, who represented Queens; William Brian Wangerman, 60, of Atlantic Beach, who represented Staten Island; Kevin McCarron, 52, of Lindenhurst, who represented western Suffolk County; Jeremy Sheeran, 50, of Astoria, who represented parts of Manhattan; Andrew McKeon, 62, of Astoria, who represented Queens; Robert Egan, 60, of Kings Park, the financial secretary-treasurer; Scott Roche, 52, of Woodbridge, New Jersey, an at-large representative; and Arthur Gipson, 59, of Kings Park, a Local 200 official who represented all of Long Island, according to federal authorities.

What does this have to do with the UBC?
What happened there has happened here. The only difference is the scale of the crimes committed by the UBC managers, which far exceeds what these guys did.
What does this have to do with the UBC you ask. Lets see..Corrupt Union scumbags.Betrayal of Union members. Union officers rewarded for cheating members.PB Capital.Jobsite Steal. ?Lets not forget John Cahill and the NY Construction Trades scum bags..Need we go on?
Sprolles is that you asking what this got to do. Lol. F——k. Y. Sprolles !!!!!
THE ONLY BOOK SPROULES EVER READ WAS A COOK BOOK
30 years of UBC corruption at the direction of Dirt Bag Doug!! We’ve only seen the tip of the ice berg with the UBC criminal fallout. What happened with this NYC building trade garbage is representative of what has been done to us.
But the end is near Dougy!!!

UBC WIRE TAPS WHAT DO YOU THINK DECARLO
How much money did Charlie Brock get paid to leave. It will be on the lm2. And where did the money come from. Does Doug know.

Show us the money SPROLES. How much did Charlie Brock get ?????????
YOU ARE SUCH A SCUMBAG YOU SHOULD RIP YOUR UNION CARD UP SPROLLES. WHAT A CANCER EATING AT THE SYSTEM. ITS TIME TO GO SPROLLES YOUR NOT WELCOMED HERE !!!!!!!!!
Charlie Brock says. It was only 300000. Did you ask the members before you paid him sprolles. Don’t know how many members would be on board with more money out when we are broke. How many organizers could of been bought back. For that. Maybe you should of thought of the organizers you cut loose. We got a lot of info. More to come. !!!

Please don't bring any of the organizers back. They were stealing from the members like the Team Leader, Asst. EST and EST are now and they need to go immediately. They are the scum of the earth and they will rot in hell for what they have done.
The ubc is so deep in corruption.
Hoffa was taken out for less.
Ill give you 1. You go look it up. Do your own research.
Google Placid Investor llc.
Find the one where it lists company officers.
Doug McCarron is the pres of this company.
Then. Go to the most recent lm2 international.
Section 5.
Investments.
Placid investment llc.
69 million from UBC to Placid.
Who authorized this? Doug.
To his front company.
Ps. The 3 other officers of placid are alllll on the ubc payroll.
Start there. If you arent outraged... Then stop there.
There is no point arguing or discussing it further if you cant see this.
Your exactly right! EST, ASST EST,TEAM LEADER? What’s with this UCAN PROGRAM? What happened to your mandatory program? You guys put a lot of retirees cash businesses out of business that you guys were promoting. JHOCKER put some useful information on the website would you. Explain the MAP PROGRAM too. Be transparent and tell the truth! That’s right you said you are overwhelmed and get anxiety on the air of your virtual meeting while you’re tongue was twisted stuttering. I’m guessing the secretary recorded it all and it will be in the minutes
Hey Tommy doc. How many years were you ilegaly. Threading your own brothers and sisters To keep you dumbass position and stay in great standing with moron leaders. Let this be a lesson. You could of told them the harresment was ilegal and wrong you would not do it. But now you are drug into with your ilegal behavior. Don’t forget fellows. This involves fraud over state lines. Tommy your right in the middle it all leads to Rico. Violations. Across state lines. Good luck sprolles. !!! Good thing you got. DeCarlo and Shanley. Coming in to bail you out. !!! I smell Rico charges. !!!!!
RAY HEIENEY MAN. I HAVE A WUICK QUESTION. YOU SAID THE UNION CAN NOT PAY MEMBERS TO MAN THE PICKETLINES THAT IS WHY WE NEED THE MUPP PROGRAM. ! SO WITH THAT BEING SAID WE CHANGED THE NAME TO (Ucan). AS IN YOU CAN GO F—k YOURSELF. RAY/RAY BUT SOMEHOW THE UNION FOUND THE MONEY TO BUY PICKUP TRUCKS /. VACATIONS/. AND TV. SO WICH IS IT RAY THEY DO HAVE MONEY OR DONT HAVE MONEY. THE FEDS HAVE TO SE THE RICO ACT HERE. RAY/RAY. DEMANDING FINES ACROSS STATELINES. WHAT DID YOUR UNION GET YOU INTO RAY/RAY. I THIUGHT YOU WOULD BE SMARTER THEN THAT. AND DID THE MEMBERS GIVE PERMISSION TO SOEND THAT MONEY. THE COURTS ALREADY DETERMINED THE UNION DOES NOT OWN THE MEMBERS. THE MEMBERS OWN THE UNION SO I GUESS MEMBERS OWN ALL ITHER UNIONS JUST NOT THE CARPENTERS UNION. CEO. MACAROON SET IT UP THAT WAY. LOOK FOR A CHALLENGE RAY /RAY WE WILL NEVER LEAVE UNTIL THE UNION TREATS THE MEMBER WITH RESPECT IT MIGHT BE A GOOD IDEA TO GET YOUR MEMBERS ON BOARD BEFORE.

FBI. Time to check the ilegal. Mup fines millions collected and spent on themselves. Check the accounting For their funny math coverup. Of the funds.
Has anyone ever got a check back for reduction in health insurance costs. From retiress paying into the account. I told them never had been done. Uh oh. Sprolles did you miss a step. Come on irs??
The only noon talking about tax fraud is as big as a joke as Biden. America first. Yeah ok. You guys belong together. Criminals !!!!
Anyone who ever had doubt about what this was about for some local people.
Carpenters Team up with MD Anderson/ Cooper medical.
George Norcross III.
its going to go further.
Once they can figure out how to break our funds.
Remember.
The 1st dissolution?
Every mailing you got was
NRCC ( as they were trying to rape all the funds)
After about 7 months you started getting " phila area funds mailing"
They got caught.
If we do not remove this leadership and george norcross we are doomed.
Also. How can Ray Brugerus confirmed mafia and mob stooge ... Who wasnt allowed to work in nyc...be a rep on our savings plan?
This is an automatic racketeering charge in the making!!
Question: Has anyone reviewed the guidelines on the US DOL putting a Union under Trusteeship? If there was a Union that needs outside over sight it’s the UBC and every Regional Council. You have a Union managers who knowingly break the law to enrich them selves at the expense of the member based on the idea that “until challenged we can and will continue”.
Hey feds help us out here already. Known mob associate Is a trustee on the phila. Savings fund. Nothing bad could come of his oversight. Of millions of dollars. What more do you guys need to clean house. Let’s get it together we gave you everything you need. To blow up this corruption. We’re growing old waiting for our justice
Hey ray Bulgaris Did you think we were not going to report on this. You crook !!!!!!
Joe Biden stands with the carpenters union corruption. Don’t for a minute think your members are backing your endorsement. Biden for ubc criminals. We know your hoping Doug is your only shot of not going away. You loser !!!
Hey ray. Quick you and sprolles can both hide in the women’s room with your feet up on the stall when the feds come a knocking. You are going down you crooks
What did mupps expose ?
Besides the obvious criminal conduct.
You do not have to do mupps.
( ubc struck down by nrlb)
You CANT be stricken from membership especially if you have a vested pension. ( thats a lawsuit waiting)
You CANT be removed from a job if you are in arrears.
( notification of your options and rights as a non member employee)
The EAS by the way. Gave a bogus/ lie... Number , on the amount of dues reduced.
Hey spring garden... Howd ya like that IRS visit?
Next one is going to be even bigger.
This will NOT STOP until Sproules , Hand , Hocker either resign or are indicted.
Cheers.
Did the Feds visit LU 98’s office today???
We are living a pretty good life in this union . We retire young and with dignity. You negative members are chipping away at then union and ultimately are fighting ur own team . The younger generation only hears ur negativity , great job keeping this thing going !
“We are living a pretty good life in this Union”?? The life I lead as a member of this Union is due to two things: 1) The gains made by previous Union members which Team McCarron is currently racing to give away in the form of endless concessions, provisional members, theft, corruption, and incompetence!! 2) The competence of the individual working member!!! All I get from my Union is increased dues imposed without my consent and less and less representation, which at this point is less than zero!!
“We retire young and with dignity”?? To retire young is a fleeting benefit that is disappearing like a puddle in the high sun. Do the members in Pittsburgh retire young?? I wouldn’t call 65 young. What about the members in Philly?? A member that works 1,200 hours for 30 consecutive years can retire with a full pension. No small feat for anyone. But going forward us younger members will be unlikely to retire under the old rules. As our current Union management loses market share the pension fund also loses contributions which puts the fund on a path to failure. Then come the changes to the fund that Doug lobbied so hard to be able to make via the MEPRA, that have been put in place everywhere else; increased contributions from working members, reduced benefits to retirees, increased age of retirement, etc, etc.
Meanwhile Union employees such as your self (if your not a union employee now you must be angling for such a job in the future) make much more than the average dues paying member who works with their tools in the heat, in the cold, and in the rain.
How about Billy Sproules?? You know one of the first things he did as EST?? He raised his pay by over one hundred thousand dollars a year!!!! What did I or every other working member get in exchange for increasing his compensation by such an extant??? Nothing!!!
The only people hindering this thing, aka the Union, going forward are the people who actually run it now. We members, old or young, have no say in what this Union does, negative or positive. Doug McCarron and Frank Spencer finally got what they wanted, the last strong Council in the UBC and now they are destroying It like they destroyed everything else.
The facts are what they are, it is unfortunate that they are so negative now. But that is due to the decisions made by those who run this Union now and no one else.
Bunch of scumbag sell outs. Those 638 guys were mad corrupt for years. No more lunches at DAZIES and mannettas WANGY. no more GALLAGHERS either blowing thousands at the titttie bars while we be sling pipe. You rat bastard. You’ll be singing like frank sinatra real soon. Sing us a song make it simple to last your whole life long. Hit it WANGY.
Not sure the names ur throwing out but we are good in our city.
Hey guys stop being negative. Questioning leadership could create change and ruin things for me. We need to keep the gravy train going for me and my buddies and continue brainwashing the younger generation. Please continue to convince them all that they would never be successful without this union and the enormous amount of money coming out of their checks is for great representation when they need it one day. Also that one percent interest rate in their annuity that the leaders give us is a great rate even though the Feds disagree. And the health care and pension that the leaders give us will last forever if we keep our mouths shut and keep these representatives in charge. Let the younger generation know that our representatives will always have their best interest in mind and they will never tell them a lie. Please guys I personally need you to stop being negative and don't question leadership because I don't want change even if it helps everyone else.
Phila was an ATM machine for new jersey, pittsburgh, and part of new york.
The jersey " leadership" in particular , ran jersey into the dirt, then rode it harder, and put it away wet.
Every single carpenter in phila was punished. They dissolved the oldest, most historic, most profitable ( per capita) council in the country.
Toppling statues isnt the only way to destroy history and institutions.
We are so far removed from being a union.
IRS. Its time to pull the plug.
No more tax exempt status.
No more " not for profit" status.
We are not behaving in a manner that allows a charter.
Federal law states clearly the qualifications to be a chartered union in the usa. We are no where near this.
Challenge everything youve been told. Its funny. Every time there is a challenge... It turns out that the ubc is in violation.
Why is that?
Wake up.
Well said. Everyone will see what kind of representation you get with all the money they take out of your check with no say about them taking it. Stay tuned
It makes you want to be Cahill cellmate and show him how a union man, works hard to bring home a pay check, to raise a family. All of our pay as members is combined is to make these shit birds, think they have our best interest at heart for our retirement.Which is crap now.My fund manager keeps sending me letters to retire because that south philly hawiian stole 500 million out of pension fund and never spend a day in jail. Love to go up and be your celly Cahill. The hard working fitters from the lower west side would like to say hello.
