CASE: 3:19-mc-42
A BANK ACCOUNT WHICH
ODDLY ENOUGH FOR A COMPANY DOUGY HAS FUNNELED MILLIONS TO HAD ONLY $10,209.00 DOLLARS IN IT
BUT WAIT.A YEAR AND A HALF BEFORE THEY TAKE ACTION THE STIPULATION CLEARLY SAYS:
IF DEFENDANT FAILS TO MAKE A PAYMENT WHEN DUE AND FAILS TO CURE SUCH DEFAULT WITHIN TEN DAYS THE ENTIRE AMOUNT BECOMES DUE !!!IMMEDIATELY!!!!
SPEAKING OF WTF!!
IN JANUARY OF 2018 ODOMS CONSTRUCTION SYSTEMS WAS SUED IN
THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF TENNESSEE NASHVILLE DIVISION
CASE 3:18-cv-00038
BY THE SOUTHEASTERN CARPENTERS & MILLWRIGHTS HEALTH TRUST FUND, SOUTHEASTERN CARPENTERS & MILLWRIGHTS PENSION TRUST FUND
THEY WERE ACCUSED OF :
13.
Defendant has defaulted on its duty in this regard by failing to
pay—either in a timely manner or otherwise—Contributions owed to the
Funds
14. The exact amount of Contributions due and owing from Defendant is unknown, as Defendant is in sole possession of the documents and information necessary to calculate the Contributions owed. Therefore, Plaintiffs must conduct discovery to determine the amount of Contributions owed.
ODDLY ENOUGH A LITTLE OVER 2 WEEKS LATER !!!THE UBC PULLED THE CASE!!!!
SO BEYOND THE OBVIOUS QUESTION WHICH IS
(1)HOW
WOULD THE ODOMS WHO HAVE RECEIVED MILLIONS FROM THE UBC,HAVE EMPLOYEES
ON THE UBC PAYROLL,WHOSE EMPLOYEES WERE ALLOWED INTO THE UBC PENSION
FUND ROB UBC MEMBERS??
LETS ALSO ASK...
(2) WHO PAID FOR THE ODOMS LAWYER
BRET COHEN.WHO HOOKED THEM UP WITH A LAWYER LOCATED AT THE UBC
HEADQUARTERS.IS THIS NOT A CONFLICT OF INTEREST AT THE VERY LEAST.DID
THE UBC INTERNATIONAL AND MCCARRON HOOK THE ODOMS UP WITH A LAWYER TO
FIGHT A CASE INVOLVING THEFT FROM HIS OWN UBC MEMBERS
(3)
WHAT ROLL DID MCCARRON HAVE IN THIS ATTEMPTED ROBBERY BY A COMPANY HE
WAS 50% OWNER OF AND WHO CLAIMS TO BE PARTNERED WITH THE UBC OWNED
JOBSITE STEEL(THE DONNER PARTY ATE MY PRE FABS) DID HE INTERVENE IN
THESE LAWSUITS??
(4)
WHO ALLOWED THEM TWO YEARS TO PAY THE MONEY THEY OWED AND DID NOT
PURSUE IMMEDIATE PAYMENT UPON DEFAULT AS THE STIPULATION DECLARED
(5) WHY WERE THE LAWSUITS PULLED??
(6)
THE PLACID FILING FOR 2018 SHOWS THE ODOMS DID NOT REPAY $11.7 MILLION
BY THE JULY 2018 DATE LISTED BELOW AND AS OF JAN 1, 2019 STILL OWED THE
AMOUNT. HOW DOES THE GARNISHMENT ON THEIR ASSETS AND PROPERTY AFFECT
THE UBC ABILITY TO RECOVER MEMBERS MONEY.WHAT STEPS HAS DIRTY DOUG
ORDERED TAKEN TO SECURE THIS MONEY FOR HIS PALS THE TENNESSEE ODOMS???
NOW WHO THE HELL ARE THE ODOMS AND WHY HAS DIRTY DOUG GAVE THEM MILLIONS IN UBC MONEY
!!!!!!OPEN SHOP!!!!!
"We have existed as 100 percent open shop, and 100 percent union shop in our past, and we currently exist as a hybrid operation. Many of our carpenters are rep-resented by the Carpenters’ Union. Other trades are open shop." Danny Odom
THE UBC FINANCING A PRIVATE CONSTRUCTION COMPANY OR IS ODOMS COMPANY RUNNING THE PLANT AS THEY CLAIM..
During 2015, the Company(Placid) converted their 50% ownership equity interest in Odom ConstructionSystems (OCS) into a note receivable from OCS. In connection with this the Company enteredinto a loan agreement with OCS in the amount of $6.9 million. This notes bears interest at the prime
rate (3.25% at December 31, 2016) and stipulates interest-only payments
through May 1,2017. All outstanding principal and interest is due on
May 1, 2017. In addition, the Company provided $3.540 million and $1.475 million, respectively, in additional working capital fundingto OCS during 2016 and 2015. This additional funding is subject to the terms and conditions discussed above.
FROM THE PLACID 2017 FILING
FROM THE PLACID 2018 FILING
!!!DEAR FBI, EBSA AND OLMS PAY ATTENTION!!!
I
WONDER IF THE JOBSITE STEEL AND ODOM CONSTRUCTION SYSTEMS RELATIONSHIP
WILL BE INCLUDED THE JOBSITE STEEL DOCUMENTS YOU SUBPOENAED
IN THIS CASE BOTH DANNY AND BILLY ODOM WERE DEPOSED.IN THEIR DEPOSITIONS IT DETAILS THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN JOBSITE STEAL AND ODOM CONSTRUCTION
DEAR DEPARTMENT OF LABOR
THE DEPOSITIONS MAKE INTERESTING READING .COMPARE THEM TO THE LM2s AND 990s FILED BY THE UBC AND WHAT WAS DECLARED BY THE UBC
LETS CLARIFY.IS NOT ODOM
CONSTRUCTION AND JOBSITE STEEL ONE AND THE SAME COMPANY??ALTHOUGH ONE
CLAIMS TO BE A PR FAB FACTORY WITH DANNY BOB ODOM AND THE OTHER AN INSTALLATION COMPANY WITH BILLY BOB ODOM
IF
THEY ARE NOT ONE AND THE SAME WHY IS THE UBC GIVING MILLIONS OF
MEMBER DUES MONEY IN OPERATING CAPITAL TO THE ODIE ODOMS OUTSIDE THE UBC
MARKET RECOVERY PROGRAM
THIS LAWSUIT SAYS THEY ARE THE SAME COMPANY
SO FROM 2018-2020 THE ODOMS WERE SUED BY THE UBC FOR TRYING TO CHEAT UBC BENEFIT FUNDS YET IN MARCH OF 2020 WHEN THE COVID PANDEMIC WAS JUST STARTING DOUG MCCARRON AND THE UBC INTERNATIONAL HAS DECLARED
IT WOULD NOT BE COLLECTING A $22,817, 602 DEBT FROM ODOM CONSTRUCTION
FUNNELED THROUGH THE PLACID INVESTORS SCAM. THIS IS $22 MILLION PLUS OF
MEMBERS DUES MONEY
THE EXCUSE THE UBC CROOKS HAVE TOLD
THE FEDS FOR THEM NOT SEEKING TO RECOVER MEMBERS DUES MONEY IS BECAUSE
"ODOMS BUSINESS HAS BEEN SEVERELY IMPACTED BY THE CORONA VIRUS
PANDEMIC.THE COLLECTIBILITY OF THE LOAN IS UNCERTAIN AT THIS TIME"
CLICK TO ENLARGE
I SAY BS.NOTICE THE DOCUMENT SAYS
THE LOAN WAS DUE IN FULL FEB 2019 LONG BEFORE THE VIRUS.THE VIRUS HAS
NOT BEEN HERE LONG ENOUGH FOR THE COMPANY T
TO SUFFER A $22 MILLION DOLLAR IMPACT. THE MAJORITY OF ODOM/JOBSITE
STEEL PROJECTS ARE TIED TO THE UBC AND ARE IN AREAS THE UBC HAS PAID
POLITICAL HACKS TO KEEP OPEN.
SPEAKING OF DOUG MCCARRON LOSING HIS ODIE ODOM ASS
LETS NOT FORGET THE ODIE ODOMS SPARKS NEVADA JOBSITE STEAL PLANT DISASTER
THE UBC SPARKS NEVADA PRE FAB FACTORY WHICH OPENED IN MARCH 2018 AND COMPLETELY FINANCED WITH MILLIONS OF UBC MEMBERS MONEY FUNNELED THROUGH PLACID INVESTORS CLOSED IN LESS THAN A YEAR
WORKERS AT THE FACILITY WERE TOLD IT WAS CLOSED
BECAUSE OF LOGISTICS. JOBSITE STEEL SAID THEY COULD NOT GET TRUCKS
ACROSS THE DONNER PASS IN WINTER BUT WE SHALL SEE WHAT THE TRUTH
IS.
BESIDES ALL THE CASH DIRTY DOUG MCCARRON HAS
GIVEN TO THE ODOMS DIRTY DOUG MCCARRON SPENT $7.04 MILLION DOLLARS OF
MEMBER DUES TO PURCHASE BUILDINGS AND PROPERTY AT 600 SPICE ISLANDS DR
SPARKS NEVADA.
UBC MEMBERS PAID FOR $200,000 RENOVATIONS AND IMPROVEMENTS.
WILL PLACID BE MAKING THE LEASE PAYMENT OF $384,180 TO THE UBC FOR AN EMPTY BUILDING.IS THE LEASE STILL "NON-CANCELABLE"
THE WAGES OF WORKERS AT THE SPARKS
FACTORY WERE PAID NOT BY THE ODOMS AND JOBSITE STEEL BUT BY THE UBC
INTERNATIONAL WITH UBC MONEY FUNNELED THROUGH PLACID INVESTORS.
PLACID
INVESTORS FOR 2018 ALONE SHOWS A $16.4 MILLION NET LOSS.IT APPEARS
MICHEAL BRIM THE CHIEF FINANCIAL OFFICER FOR PLACID WHO WAS PAID
$458,000 BY THE UBC IN 2018 IS GONE AS OF MARCH 2019.IF THE DONNER PASS
FACTOR IS A CONSIDERATION IS HE THE PERSON DIRTY DOUG IS BLAMING FOR NOT
KNOWING THE DONNER PASS GETS SNOWED IN DURING WINTER BEFORE DUMPING SO
MUCH UBC MEMBERS MONEY IN SPARKS NEVADA.WHO HIRED BRIM AND WHY DID DOUGY
PICK SPARKS NEVADA
THE FACILITY IS YET ANOTHER SHADY DEAL BETWEEN DIRTY DOUG AND THE ODOMS WHICH LOST MILLIONS OF MEMBERS MONEY BY ORDER OF DOUG MCCARRON
MCCARRONS FINANCIAL BONER
HOW BIG ARE THE ODOM LOSSES??$$$!!
PERHAPS THE US ATTORNEYS OFFICE WILL SOON DETAIL HOW MUCH MCCARRON LOST IN THE ODOM SCAM
COMING SOON IN THE "DOUGY LOST HIS ASS SERIES"
HUDSON YARDS

Revenue declined 72% amid the coronavirus outbreak, according to the filing, leading to 1,800 job cuts
KEYSTONE PIPELINE
LETS LOOK AT THE REAL REASON THE UNIONS ARE PISSED AT BIDEN FOR SHUTTING DOWN THE BS KEYSTONE PIPELINE.
WE KNOW THE LOST JOBS NUMBERS ARE BS AND UNION PROPAGANDA.BUT WHY ARE THEY LYING??LETS SEE HOW MUCH UBC MEMBERS DUES AND FUND MONEY IS IN THE KEYSTONE DEBACLE WITH DIRECT AND INDIRECT INVESTMENTS
ARE UBC MEMBERS VICTIMS OF THE COVID PANDEMIC OR VICTIMS OF BAD HIGH RISK INVTESMENTS AND SCAMS SUCH AS THE ODOMS ORDERED BY DOUG MCCARRON AND THE UBC CRIMINAL SYNDICATE

No. 1 Great work in connecting all these dots!!
No. 2 You Union Delegates/Employees voted to re-elect Doug to another 5 year term!! Therefore you are as bad as he and his ilk is!!!
No. 3. None of this conduct outlined above is legal or in the interest of the dues paying members.
No. 4 If working members had the right to revoke our dues payments none of this would be possible!!!
No. 5 It is now time to sue the UBC for the right to make the payment and collection of all dues monies optional.
all market share recovery programs are a tool for union fraud the feds already know and di nothing. maybe docs tral will chsnge things. what a shame the union are not for workers !
When more working members like Roy take action. No one is going to fix this for us on our behalf, it’s a job we as working members have to do our selves.
Dear skippy. For the last time I am not Mike McCarron and this is not Mike McCarrons blog. But you know exactly who I am so why dont you direct your BS to me.Second .Go to the Feds?? 9 subpeonas from a NJ grand jury.Where do you think those came from..DOL Investigation into the Southwest Pension fund.Feds investigation into Spencer,McCarron and Capelli. Guess who skippy.But you know that as well ..Stop your BS
You think Ballantyne leading everyone to find something is going to work do you understand that every politician in NJ who knows ballantyne has not done anything. Steve Sweeney has made threats and called to have him removed on his appointed seats. Norcross and Spencer changed nj Bluecross blue shield to another subsidiary in Philly And you think people care what happens. Politicians laugh tell jokes and eat together Dems and Republicans same way the council the reps and contractors acting like big shots. Like all the idiots at the golf outing getting Covid from billy all deserve each other
No. 6. What was the ROI that the members would receive had this ridiculous endeavour not inevitably failed??? Zero.
No. 7. Against what criteria was this investment measured against??
No. 8. Did the Odom’s ever propose their opportunity to any other investors?? Would any other investor or bank invest in such an endeavour??
No. 9. What collateral did the Odom’s post to secure the investment from the working members of the UBC??? I doubt anything equal to the value of what was lost.
Let's put it this way if McCarran was in the private sector he couldn't get away with this, it's not his money! How many contractors could lose $22 million and still be in business? I thought the UBC was a union not a construction firm! I guess I'm wrong on both,its neater!
I used to think that Right to Work was a bad thing. When you see the fraud, waste and incompetence of UBC leadership, Right to Work looks like a better idea.
I share that sentiment. Up until about 5 years ago. When i was watching exactly what was going on in our union and many others.
We were always " told" ( propagandized) that right to work was " bad"... Until you look up and read the actual language and provisions of right to work. That is why ... On here.. Many times... I cautioned people and pointed out the EAS decietful tactic to gather " power of attorney" for signing up for the mix 20/20. The EAS knows that penn. Is 1 vote away in the state legislature to right to work. They wanted sigs to insure a dues cut when right to work is passed. It may or may not. I would however suggest taking some time and really reading for yourselves the pros and cons and not just dismiss it out of hand.
One thing it does offer. You have more money that you control and not the likes of these grifters that have " self annointed" themselves to stay in " control"... You have the power. They know you have the power. The greatest fear is that when a whole bunch of us stand together.. Its over.
I felt the same way and now I support Right to Work. Can I vote to elect my Representatives? No. Can I vote to ratify new contracts? Maybe, but the Council can approve any rejected agreement. Can members impeach incompetent Union leaders employees that we pay for?? No. Do we as members have any meaningful control over our Union and hence careers?? No. So why are we paying thousands of dollars in Union dues???? So Doug McCarron to Billy Sproule’s, can work from home, enjoy benefits we don’t, so they can sell us out at every turn, ruin our retirement, and get rich at our expense!!!
It’s time to take our dues back and fire these slobs!!
Paying Dues well let me tell you about local 253. We got the best do nothings and best do nothing Trustees and Delegates all happy they go from job to job. Solidarity of nothingness will be nothing to the power 254 has and when 253 is disseminated. Pete Gowan will put his sad face on and get even more money. At least all the do nothing Reps will get their 2 pensions delegates and trustees will have more slurping and burping to do and maybe they’ll get a job Kevin Goodsir all these years putting yourself out there me me me I I I and what you do. You are in the chair now going along.....shocking
No vote. No meaningful say in your career. No protection of ANY kind since we no longer have stews. ( real stews) . No work rules. No safety. Age discrimination gone rogue ( meaning its half a career or part time job) .
Appointed leadership through sham " delegate" elections.
Yeahh. Ill take my chances on right to work after reading the proposed language. If im on my own in my own union and paying for nothing. Ill keep my wages and cut my own deal. I mean... Thats what hudson yards was alllll about and Doug gave his blessing on that. Brotherhood? Nah. Every man for himself. Doug built that. We are who they forced us to be.
s3:21 PM Paying Dues well let me tell you about local 253. We got the best do nothings and best do nothing Trustees and Delegates all happy they go from job to job. Solidarity of nothingness will be nothing to the power 254 has and when 253 is disseminated. Pete Gowan will put his sad face on and get even more money. At least all the do nothing Reps will get their 2 pensions delegates and trustees will have more slurping and burping to do and maybe they’ll get a job Kevin Goodsir all these years putting yourself out there me me me I I I and what you do. You are in the chair now going along.....shocking
No offense taken trust me Philly has been corrupt long time remember the time. BA stepped down quietly Philly mafia made him an offer. law enforcement asked him to work with them he said no thanks you. his family is still in the business one guy works for ICI and EDA don’t believe me ask them
Billy Sproule is no stranger to hiding behind emails. I remember on a Christmas Eve those who were applying to a council rep position. Received an email that they will not move to next position in the selection process. Ballantyne had to put out several fires he never told anyone that billy was behind it and it would be looked into. Apparently if you terminate his kid through email it’s not acceptable funny how that works out. Billy Sproule is a something else I’m sure the universe has something nice for you billy enjoy the ride you fat alcoholic scumbag. Looking forward to hearing when you have to pay out in civil court. Enjoy the ride because when it ends it crashes
Mikey Hand, how well you have done following the dissolution of our old Council and your local Union. But know this, your not a stand up, you sold everyone of your fellow members out and now we have to struggle to survive while you ride off into the sunset.
You are, and will be defined by your actions, not your words.
You all should reach out to Ballantyne and thank him for listening to Spencer and Mccarron. Filling his head with ooooh corruption.....now go take their Charter.
He wouldn’t suck hard enough, that and Dougy is trying to create the appearance of acting in the best interest of the membership. It could also mean that Doug needs to give his son this guys job.
Why don’t you go done and check on Demateris the lifelong shop steward of the meadowlands racetrack maybe he’s got Jimmy Romaine working as a seasonal. You know so much look into it
True and best part is Denis Sullivan saw nothing wrong with that but then again this guy was behind a gambling ring fighting dogs on his farm in Middletown NY
Yeah ok. A guy with no fear to go against a union fully funded law team Why would we want him to represent us You must be one of them guys that gets taken care of by these scumbags because you can’t make it on your own he showed me he had the balls to what’s right !!
Where is the guy sticking up for hocker? Is he against the Philadelphia pension being cut or merged? Time will tell since they made him a trustee of the funds.
dirty doug is counting on norcross working w/the biden administration, new dol leadership, and new doj leaders to sweep his dirty deeds under the carpet. the shame is how all of the leaders across the country keep their mouths shut and allow the fraud to continue. al bond in st. louis lied to delegates to raise his salary from $195k per year to $275k per year and mccarron didn’t do shit. because he needs bond to keep his fat foot on the stl-kc members. asst est brussel told the delegates that mid-vest vp tharpe directed the council to increase bond’s wages to 85% of his own package. unfortunately, during an olms/dol audit of the stl-kc council, decarlo-shanley stated that the ubc had know knowledge of the “purported” directive to increase bond’s salary; nor did they have any records to support the claims made by bond/brussel. so they just let bond deceive the members out of $80k per year? cowards & frauds! j
Don’t think that this whole thing wasn’t being implemented before Billy Sproule. All the leadership goes along to keep their job. Charters Benefits Portability Annuity and Pension Changes. Ballantyne solid guy on exit great job exposing everyone like you didn’t know
I'm right here and I don't care as long as he is in charge the guys that voted for our slate are good. That is what a union is all about sticking together to feed our families and get money. I could care less about what happens to our pension as long as I get the dollars back I put in. He was in on getting us our bonus annuity money too so you should be appreciative.
not bonus annuity money. you dope. that was money stolen from us for not paying the right amount and the feds gave the union a break and they only paid back half. no bonus this union steals from us not gives us anything open your you fool
Guys you can't be serious. That has to be a bonus given to us from a fund besides a retirement fund. Retirement Funds Don't Just Appear One Day. There is no way they are making more interest in the annuity than what they give us, that would be illegal. That annuity is my annuity that has my name on it. They can't mixed my annuity money with the pension money that would be illegal. If they were caught by the IRS and SEC, as you say, they would have to inform us of all the rulings. That is called disclosure and that's what every ruling body inforces and demands in retirement accounts for the last decade. Similar to the MUPS ruling letter. There is no way our trustees that we voted for in the delegate slate are not disclosing all the investments in our personal annuities or they would be going to jail immediately or maybe after the first law suit. Just relax, I know it has been a while, but you will be getting a complete explanation and disclosure of our second annuity bonus soon because the union is required to send all members this information. The benefits office has to be working on it because they know this and they are paid to inform us and follow the law. Our guys who are paid union reps and delegates on our slate that were also appointed to be trustees on our pension funds would always disclose every pension and investment decision to us all because they got our backs. Have faith these guys give out all the jobs and have the qualifications to make billion dollar pension decisions. Thanks for our bonus annuity, Hand, Hocker, Capelli, Sproules, and Ballentyne. It magically appeared in our accounts even though my accountant says this is impossible, they made it happen. Stop hating and give the magicians credit.
Back in the early 2000’s the annuity was yielding the full market rate of return on the fund investments. Then at some point around 2006 all the interest in excess of 1% was transferred from individual annuity accounts into the Pension Fund. This was the position of the Fund managers until the IRS stepped in.
No but we are losing out on our money. Do you understand that in NYC it’s all your money. It’s not locked in with crooks that control your return with some boutique financial company that laughenberg kid works at stupid. On top of that we had a choices to what kind of fund our annuity went into.
Curious who’s the Philly guy real special hump saloon face his opening line was he had a motorcycle shop for 20+ years he claims to be a carpenter I think he’s on e board or some kind of special JO of somebody
Mike’s is running because he thinks he’ll be able to separate him self from the pending changes to our pension. Mike, no one is going to not blame you because you bailed right before the changes you never opposed become effective. Even you can’t be that stupid!!
Wire Fraud??? That’s a routine affair along with mail fraud, which they engaged in when they knowingly lied to members about being suspended for failure to comply with the MUP program.
Just wanted to add MUP was borrowed by the NYCDCC when ballantyne was sent to take their charter. It’s not till they stole Philly that the Jersey dummies allowed contractors to bank with them for free. They borrowed Philly system allowing the council to charge them interest on all late payments. You would think that would already be in place???? And no you don’t get the interest they owe on your money they take it(funds)?????does that make sense?
It only makes sense if you go to work and think like a criminal to beat the laws and racketeer. The top is a racketeering ring. Supported by appointees in positions that have no morals or integrity profiting handsomely from the rackett. Who appoint friends and family to share in the fraud. Appoint lower levels that support the fraud. It is a paid protectorate from council rep / delegate ... Each scumbag willing to play for their silver.
It is. A criminal enterprise.
Complete with lawyers and bureaucrats and pols. All paid for off of your labor.

When will something be done? McCarron is a Criminal.
This is just one aspect of McCarran's incompetence, what the hell else is going on with this brotherhood ? this guy has got to go!
Dear Mike McCarron how come you don’t go to the FBI or file a lawsuit to stop Doug.
You are your Brother’s KEEPER
When more working members like Roy take action. No one is going to fix this for us on our behalf, it’s a job we as working members have to do our selves.

The Odoms had nothing that's why dirty Doug chose them
I don’t think anyone is relying on Ballantine to do anything more than he already did.
Let's put it this way if McCarran was in the private sector he couldn't get away with this, it's not his money! How many contractors could lose $22 million and still be in business? I thought the UBC was a union not a construction firm! I guess I'm wrong on both,its neater!
It was just a shell (and if it worked even more money) like Tricia groundwork’s firm put money in wash then take. Just like hotel and training center.

You mean billy and all the other so called leaders don’t deserve over 300k
Paying Dues well let me tell you about local 253.
We got the best do nothings and best do nothing Trustees and Delegates all happy they go from job to job.
Solidarity of nothingness will be nothing to the power 254 has and when 253 is disseminated. Pete Gowan will put his sad face on and get even more money.
At least all the do nothing Reps will get their 2 pensions delegates and trustees will have more slurping and burping to do and maybe they’ll get a job
Kevin Goodsir all these years putting yourself out there me me me I I I and what you do. You are in the chair now going along.....shocking
Not heading up a lawsuit for the membership just for his kid and shitty Alex Lopez
Yes that is exactly what I mean!!
True
Doug has turned the UBC into a parasitic organisation in we the working members are the host and the Union employees are the parasites.
The only remedy we as working members have at our disposal is to empower our selves to take back our Dues.
It’s time to shed these ticks....
No vote.
No meaningful say in your career.
No protection of ANY kind since we no longer have stews. ( real stews) .
No work rules.
No safety.
Age discrimination gone rogue ( meaning its half a career or part time job) .
Appointed leadership through sham " delegate" elections.
Yeahh. Ill take my chances on right to work after reading the proposed language.
If im on my own in my own union and paying for nothing.
Ill keep my wages and cut my own deal.
I mean... Thats what hudson yards was alllll about and Doug gave his blessing on that.
Brotherhood?
Nah.
Every man for himself.
Doug built that.
We are who they forced us to be.
Ill see your 253 and raise you 158.
Of course they had to slurp down the jersey model ( no offense) to become this corrupt.

No offense taken trust me Philly has been corrupt long time remember the time. BA stepped down quietly Philly mafia made him an offer. law enforcement asked him to work with them he said no thanks you. his family is still in the business one guy works for ICI and EDA don’t believe me ask them
Mike your last task have some input on someone to take over that will look out for the members You absoultey know what you are leaving us !
Billy Sproule is no stranger to hiding behind emails. I remember on a Christmas Eve those who were applying to a council rep position. Received an email that they will not move to next position in the selection process. Ballantyne had to put out several fires he never told anyone that billy was behind it and it would be looked into. Apparently if you terminate his kid through email it’s not acceptable funny how that works out.
Billy Sproule is a something else I’m sure the universe has something nice for you billy enjoy the ride you fat alcoholic scumbag. Looking forward to hearing when you have to pay out in civil court. Enjoy the ride because when it ends it crashes
Hand is running.
Coward.
He sat on the pension committee with breslyn.
They brought you this. Now hes running scared.
Mike is leaving because he doesn’t want to be associated with the planned changes to the Pension fund.
It's called conversion, Doug McCarron profited handsomely from his relationship with the Odom's
Mikey Hand, how well you have done following the dissolution of our old Council and your local Union. But know this, your not a stand up, you sold everyone of your fellow members out and now we have to struggle to survive while you ride off into the sunset.
You are, and will be defined by your actions, not your words.
You all should reach out to Ballantyne and thank him for listening to Spencer and Mccarron. Filling his head with ooooh corruption.....now go take their Charter.
😂
McCarron fired his director of real estate Randy Sowell, whats up with that?
He wouldn’t suck hard enough, that and Dougy is trying to create the appearance of acting in the best interest of the membership. It could also mean that Doug needs to give his son this guys job.
roy ernst for est. screw the asst spot
Ask Alex Lopez why he was helping Andrew Hamilton do a roof job while he was on the clock as a Hudson County Rep
Yes you did a great job covering the convention
Kudos
Don’t think they didn’t use the same aggressive tactics and intimidation on a Twenty something girl. To protect their POS hand pick guys
Why don’t you go done and check on Demateris the lifelong shop steward of the meadowlands racetrack maybe he’s got Jimmy Romaine working as a seasonal.
You know so much look into it
Give us our vote back! Damn right Roy for EST of the country!!
True and best part is Denis Sullivan saw nothing wrong with that but then again this guy was behind a gambling ring fighting dogs on his farm in Middletown NY
Yeah ok
Yeah ok. A guy with no fear to go against a union fully funded law team Why would we want him to represent us You must be one of them guys that gets taken care of by these scumbags because you can’t make it on your own he showed me he had the balls to what’s right !!
We’re much better off with billy sprolles wait till we lose everything you idiot
We lose everything because 99.3 % of carpenters do nothing.
Ohh im not " political"
Ohh. Theyll figure it out.
I dont want to get blacklisted.
( my fav) mike and those guys take care of me ( translated: i got mine screw all of you. Aint that right Mike Giovanetti?
Lou Giorla.
Bobby Daley.
When New Jersey gets done running you into the ground that part of NY State they gave to New England to absorb will look good. Tell Tricia I said hi
Where is the guy sticking up for hocker? Is he against the Philadelphia pension being cut or merged? Time will tell since they made him a trustee of the funds.
dirty doug is counting on norcross working w/the biden administration, new dol leadership, and new doj leaders to sweep his dirty deeds under the carpet. the shame is how all of the leaders across the country keep their mouths shut and allow the fraud to continue. al bond in st. louis lied to delegates to raise his salary from $195k per year to $275k per year and mccarron didn’t do shit. because he needs bond to keep his fat foot on the stl-kc members. asst est brussel told the delegates that mid-vest vp tharpe directed the council to increase bond’s wages to 85% of his own package. unfortunately, during an olms/dol audit of the stl-kc council, decarlo-shanley stated that the ubc had know knowledge of the “purported” directive to increase bond’s salary; nor did they have any records to support the claims made by bond/brussel. so they just let bond deceive the members out of $80k per year? cowards & frauds! j
Don’t think that this whole thing wasn’t being implemented before Billy Sproule. All the leadership goes along to keep their job. Charters Benefits Portability Annuity and Pension Changes. Ballantyne solid guy on exit great job exposing everyone like you didn’t know
I'm right here and I don't care as long as he is in charge the guys that voted for our slate are good. That is what a union is all about sticking together to feed our families and get money. I could care less about what happens to our pension as long as I get the dollars back I put in. He was in on getting us our bonus annuity money too so you should be appreciative.
Hocker had nothing to do with that. The IRS however did. As well as the SEC.
Who do you think forced that?
Members.
Not hocker.
Get your facts squared.
not bonus annuity money. you dope. that was money stolen from us for not paying the right amount and the feds gave the union a break and they only paid back half. no bonus this union steals from us not gives us anything open your you fool
The bonus payments weren’t a lot of money right Tapkin
In the words of McCarron “if you knew how hard I worked you give me a raise”
Guys you can't be serious. That has to be a bonus given to us from a fund besides a retirement fund. Retirement Funds Don't Just Appear One Day. There is no way they are making more interest in the annuity than what they give us, that would be illegal. That annuity is my annuity that has my name on it. They can't mixed my annuity money with the pension money that would be illegal. If they were caught by the IRS and SEC, as you say, they would have to inform us of all the rulings. That is called disclosure and that's what every ruling body inforces and demands in retirement accounts for the last decade. Similar to the MUPS ruling letter. There is no way our trustees that we voted for in the delegate slate are not disclosing all the investments in our personal annuities or they would be going to jail immediately or maybe after the first law suit. Just relax, I know it has been a while, but you will be getting a complete explanation and disclosure of our second annuity bonus soon because the union is required to send all members this information. The benefits office has to be working on it because they know this and they are paid to inform us and follow the law. Our guys who are paid union reps and delegates on our slate that were also appointed to be trustees on our pension funds would always disclose every pension and investment decision to us all because they got our backs. Have faith these guys give out all the jobs and have the qualifications to make billion dollar pension decisions. Thanks for our bonus annuity, Hand, Hocker, Capelli, Sproules, and Ballentyne. It magically appeared in our accounts even though my accountant says this is impossible, they made it happen. Stop hating and give the magicians credit.
Well now I feel better......
Haaaaaaaaa!!!!
They arent mixing your annuity with pension.
That isnt the issue.
Back in the early 2000’s the annuity was yielding the full market rate of return on the fund investments. Then at some point around 2006 all the interest in excess of 1% was transferred from individual annuity accounts into the Pension Fund. This was the position of the Fund managers until the IRS stepped in.
That’s what and when recall happening.
No but we are losing out on our money. Do you understand that in NYC it’s all your money. It’s not locked in with crooks that control your return with some boutique financial company that laughenberg kid works at stupid. On top of that we had a choices to what kind of fund our annuity went into.
It’s your money in NYC all the time anytime no dealing with admins at the fund office
Curious who’s the Philly guy real special hump saloon face his opening line was he had a motorcycle shop for 20+ years he claims to be a carpenter I think he’s on e board or some kind of special JO of somebody
Is this hearsay, rumors, or a buddy at the hall told you this or was this information disclosed to all the members in writing?
Have you ever received a statement from the company that is holding just the annuity money and what it is invested in?
Oh Really I thought you all said because so many idiots lost their money we have decided to put it all into a more stable fund.
You also don’t have to contribute to a PAC fund
Buckle up philly.
May 1st might be a realllly late wake up call.
Mikey hand seen running down an alley with his wheelbarrow full of silver.
He could at least have the dignity to tell you " guys that voted for the slate" to run away too...
Ask him.
Why ya running mikey.
Coward.
Never heard that. Even if it were true what does that have to do with the lack of interest applied to the fund??
Mike’s is running because he thinks he’ll be able to separate him self from the pending changes to our pension. Mike, no one is going to not blame you because you bailed right before the changes you never opposed become effective. Even you can’t be that stupid!!
It’s time to hit other platforms of social media and expose them where they celebrate themselves
https://weknowwhatsup.blogspot.com/2019/06/ubc-leaders-charged-with-wire-fraud.html
Wire Fraud??? That’s a routine affair along with mail fraud, which they engaged in when they knowingly lied to members about being suspended for failure to comply with the MUP program.
Just wanted to add MUP was borrowed by the NYCDCC when ballantyne was sent to take their charter. It’s not till they stole Philly that the Jersey dummies allowed contractors to bank with them for free. They borrowed Philly system allowing the council to charge them interest on all late payments. You would think that would already be in place???? And no you don’t get the interest they owe on your money they take it(funds)?????does that make sense?
It only makes sense if you go to work and think like a criminal to beat the laws and racketeer.
The top is a racketeering ring.
Supported by appointees in positions that have no morals or integrity profiting handsomely from the rackett. Who appoint friends and family to share in the fraud. Appoint lower levels that support the fraud.
It is a paid protectorate from council rep / delegate ... Each scumbag willing to play for their silver.
It is. A criminal enterprise.
Complete with lawyers and bureaucrats and pols. All paid for off of your labor.
