ONLY CASH MCCARRON CAN BOMB A SCRIPTED FLUFF PROPAGANDA PIECE

 THIS FLUFF PIECE WAS WRITTEN BY BARBARA DELOLLIS WHO APPEARS TO BE THE DAUGHTER OF CASH MCCARRONS CRONY JOHN DELOLLIS 

YOU KNOW THE ONE THAT DOUGY GAVE A TROPHY TO AT THE 43RD UBC CIRCUS CLOWN CONVENTION 

  DADDY DELOLLIS WAS THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF THE ASSOCIATION OF WALL AND CEILING & CARPENTRY INDUSTRIES OF NEW YORK 

 

 

 JOHN DELOLLIS ALSO WAS UP TO HIS ARSE IN LOSING MEMBERS PENSIONS IN NY AND WAS QUICK TO POINT THE FINGER AT EVERYBODY ELSE.HE CONSPIRED WITH CASH MCCARRON AND THE PHONY LAWSUIT DOUGY FILED AGAINST ALL THE OTHER FUND TRUSTEES.MCCARRON DROPPED THE LAWSUIT SO FAST THE DEFENDANTS DID NOT HAVE TIME TO EVEN ANSWER THE COMPLAINT

MAYBE THAT IS WHY DOUGY GAVE HIM A TROPHY 

 

SO IT APPEARS MOMMA WAS CORRECT WHEN SHE SAID "STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES" 

 

AND IS IT TRUE "YOU JUST CANT FIX STUPID" 

 

 JUST A COUPLE OF "HIGHLIGHTS FROM AN EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH DOUGLAS MCCARRON"

 

QUESTION:

IS THE UBC STILL A MANS WORLD

DOUG: 

WELL YES!! 

BUT WHEN I WAS A BUSINESS AGENT I GOT THREE LADIES FROM THE COFFEE SHOP IN THE CARPENTERS UNION

" I RECRUITED THEM"

 

 I WONDER IF THAT WAS WHEN DOUGY STARTED CALLING UBC FEMALE MEMBERS BUNS AND HIS CAREER AS AN ALLEGED PERVERT BEGAN


 NOW THERE IS A SHINING LIGHT OF TRYING TO "UP OUR  RANKS OF WOMEN"

NO SERIOUSLY HE SAID THAT!! YOU CANT MAKE THIS STUFF UP

 

" I GOT THEM A JOB DOING ACOUSTICAL TILE WORK" WTF!!

I AM SURE HE MEANT TO SAY HE GOT THEM COFFEE SHOP LADIES IN AS FIRST YEAR APPRENTICES. CORRECT??

 

 AND....

 THE UBC IS KNOWN AS HAVING A PRO BUSINESS PHILOSOPHY.WAS THAT A RISKY PHILOSOPHY TO ADOPT

For most labor unions, I would say that's risky. For the United Brotherhood of Carpenters, I don't believe it is. When you look at who our members are, they're really entrepreneurs. Every individual carpenter gets paid on his skill and his attitude on the job site. So, he understands business.

 

OUR MEMBERS ARE REALLY ENTREPRENEURS!!

 WE COULD GO ON BUT HAVE READ FOR YOURSELF BUT DRESS ACCORDINGLY.THE COW SHYTE IS STRONG WITH THIS ONE

ANOTHER UBC SHINING STAR .MEET YET ANOTHER PRODUCT OF THE UBC CHARLIE MANSON SYNDROME.THE STRANGE STORY OF UBC CIRCUS CLOWN RAYMOND BRUGUERAS

RECENTLY RAY BRUGUERAS POSTED ON HIS LINKEDIN ACCOUNT THAT HE IS THE NEW "CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER" OF THE EASTERN ATLANTIC STATES COUNCIL OF CROOKS,CARPETBAGGERS AND CIRCUS CLOWNS 

 

BESIDE THE FACT THERE IS NO COO OR CEO IN THE STRUCTURE OF A UBC COUNCIL AS DETAILED IN THE UBC CONSTITUTION

 BESIDE THE QUESTION OF WHO DECLARED OR APPOINTED THIS CLOWN AS "CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER

 BESIDE THE FACT THAT THIS CIRCUS CLOWN IS NOT EVEN THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER OF THE DOGGY PARK

 LET'S LOOK AT YET ANOTHER STOOGE MCCARRON MOVED UP THE UBC LADDER

 




IF YOU REFUSE TO SIGN A STATEMENT THAT DECLARES YOU ARE NOT CONNECTED TO THE MOB IN NYC ??

IF YOU RESIGN FROM EMPLOYMENT WITH THE UBC COUNCIL IN NYC RATHER THEN FACE AN INVESTIGATION BECAUSE YOU REFUSE TO SIGN  



IF YOU RESIGN YOUR POSITION IN THE NYC DISTRICT COUNCIL RATHER THAN COOPERATE WITH THE FEDS AND SIGN A FEDERAL DOCUMENT THAT SAYS YOUR NOT CONNECTED TO THE MOB IN NYC



 NOT TO WORRY.DOUGY CASH MCCARRON, A WELL DOCUMENTED CROOK AND ALLEGED PERVERT, WILL GIVE YOU !!!!A JOB AT THE UBC INTERNATIONAL!!!!



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 LITTLE PEACOCK
 

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.

BRUGERAS THIRD FROM LEFT



"HIRED LAST YEAR AT THE REQUEST OF JOE OLIVIERI"
 INTERESTING TO SAY THE LEAST.
 
SO 
"WHO THE HELL IS RAY BRUGUERAS" 

HOW DID HE GO FROM TRADE SHOW CARPENTER TO INTERNATIONAL REPRESENTATIVE IN ONE YEAR 
 
HOW IT IS POSSIBLE HE MADE HIS WAY BACK AS CHIEF OF STAFF AND IS NOW CLAIMING TO BE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER AT THE EASTERN ATLANTIC STATES COUNCIL 



 THE REAL DEAL RAN THIS ARTICLE


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"




 

 DOUG CASH MCCARRON TAKES THOSE WHO WILL NOT COOPERATE WITH THE FEDS AND GIVES THEM JOBS AT THE INTERNATIONAL AND NOW THEY ARE APPOINTED AS "COO"

HOW IS ANYBODY WHO WOULD NOT COOPERATE WITH THE FEDS AND "HIRED AT THE REQUEST OF JOE OLIVIERI" EVEN STILL BE EMPLOYED AT THE UBC


 SO........


"WHO THE HELL IS RAY BRUGUERAS" 

AND HOW DID HE GO FROM TRADE SHOW CARPENTER TO INTERNATIONAL REPRESENTATIVE AND NOW FALSELY CLAIMS TO BE THE COUNCIL
CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER 
 
HERE IS
 
BRUGUERAS RESUME ON LINKEDIN
(1) A TRADE SHOW CARPENTER SUDDENLY IN 2010 "AT THE REQUEST OF JOE OLIVIEIRI" IS HIRED AS THE ASSISTANT DIRECTOR OF ORGANIZING FOR THE NYC COUNCIL

FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO NEED REFRESHING... JOE OLIVIEIRI
 PREET BHARARA, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, JANICE K. FEDARCYK, the Assistant Director-in-Charge of the New York Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI"), and MARJORIE FRANZMAN, the Special Agent-in-Charge for the New York Regional Office of the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General, Office of Labor Racketeering and Fraud Investigations ("DOL-OIG"), announced that JOSEPH OLIVIERI was found guilty yesterday of perjury after a one-week jury trial before U.S. District Judge VICTOR MARRERO.

OLIVIERI is the former executive director of the Association of Wall, Ceiling, and Carpentry Industries of New York (the "Wall and Ceiling Association") and a former trustee of the benefit funds managed for the District Council of New York City and Vicinity of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners (the "Carpenters Union"). According to the evidence presented at trial, OLIVIERI lied under oath about his ties to the Genovese Organized Crime Family, as well as his ties to a union contractor that was defrauding the Carpenters Union benefit funds while OLIVIERI was a trustee.


(2) HERE WE HAVE A PERSON WHO IN 2011 REFUSES TO COOPERATE WITH THE FEDS AND REFUSES TO DECLARE HE IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE MOB. A PERSON WHO RESIGNS RATHER THAN COOPERATE WITH THE FEDS

!!!IS GIVEN A JOB BY MCCARRON AT THE UBC INTERNATIONAL AND NOW CLAIMS TO BE THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER OF THE EASTERN ATLANTIC COUNCIL





REFUSING TO COOPERATE WITH THE FEDS IS PROFITABLE.IN 2012 MCCARRON WAS GIVING BRUGUERAS OVER $171,000 A YEAR AS AN INTERNATIONAL REP.
FROM TRADE SHOW CARPENTER IN 2010 TO ASSISTANT OF ORGANIZING TO $171,000 IN IN 2012.MAN THIS MUST BE ONE EDUCATED AND EXPERIENCED MOTHERHUMPER 

(3) THEN WE SEE RAY BRUGUERAS RESUME CLAIM IN 2014 THAT HE STARTED AS AN INSTRUCTOR AT THE MEGA SHYTEHOLE/PROPAGANDA CENTER/ FALSELY CALLED A TRAINING CENTER IN LAS VEGAS. IN 2014  BRUGUERAS WAS BEING PAID OVER $191,000 A YEAR.ONE HAS TO WONDER HOW A PERSON LIVES IN NYC AND CLAIMS TO BE WORKING FOR THE UBC IN LAS VEGAS.WAS HE REALLY BEING FLOWN FROM NYC TO LAS VEGAS TO WORK IN THE MORNING. I AM SURE DOUG MCCARRON HAS THE FINANCIAL RECORDS TO SHOW US HOW THIS ARRANGEMENT WORKED.

(4)THEN IN 2019 
BRUGUERAS WHO CANNOT WORK AT THE NYC COUNCIL BECAUSE HE REFUSED TO COOPERATE WITH THE FEDS AND REFUSED TO DECLARE HE WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE MOB IS CHIEF OF STAFF  AT THE KEYSTONE /EASTERN ATLANTIC STATES COUNCIL??A COUNCIL WHO WAS GIVEN CONTROL OF NJ AND NY LOCALS WHEN DIRTY DOUG DISSOLVED THE NORTHEAST COUNCIL TO SILENCE BALLANTYNE. A COUNCIL WHO HAS MANY MEMBERS WHO WORK IN NYC.

HERE WE HAVE  RAYMOND
BRUGUERAS WHO RESIGNED FROM THE NYC COUNCIL RATHER THAN COOPERATE WITH THE FEDS AT THE PODIUM OF A UBC EASTERN DISTRICT EVENT.

THE SAME EASTERN DISTRICT WHO IS THE UBC GOVERNING BODY OVER THE NYC DISTRICT COUNCIL AND  IN CONTROL OF THE NYC DISTRICT COUNCIL


AND OUR BOY RAY IS NOW TAKING WELL OVER $318,000 A YEAR FROM THE UBC
 


 

IS ANYBODY READING THIS AND THINKING

NOW I AM SURE DOUG MCCARRON WOULD BE GLAD TO SHOW ALL THE MEMBERS THE INVESTIGATION HE CONDUCTED TO DETERMINE WHY RAY BRUGUERAS REFUSED TO COOPERATE WITH THE FEDS AND WHY HE REFUSED TO DECLARE HE WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE MOB BEFORE HE HIRED HIM AT THE UBC INTERNATIONAL.



I AM SURE RAY BRUGUERAS WOULD BE GLAD TO EXPLAIN TO ALL UBC MEMBERS WHY HE REFUSED TO COOPERATE WITH THE FEDS AND WHY HE REFUSED TO DECLARE HE WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE MOB 



I AM SURE DOUG MCCARRON HAS A COPY OF THE DECLARATION HE REQUIRED RAY BRUGUERAS TO SIGN STATING  HE WAS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE MOB AS A CONDITION OF HIS UBC INTERNATIONAL EMPLOYMENT


I AM SURE RAY BRUGUERAS WOULD BE GLAD TO SIGN SUCH A DECLARATION FOR THE MEMBERS OF THE EASTERN ATLANTIC STATES COUNCIL WHERE THE UBC NOW STATES  HE IS CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER. I AM SURE RAY BRUGUERAS COULD PASS A BACKGROUND CHECK ANYTIME AND ANYWHERE.


 FOR THE RECORD WE ARE NOT CLAIMING RAY BRUGUERAS IS ASSOCIATED OR CONNECTED TO ANY CRIMINAL SYNDICATE EXCEPT THE UBC CRIMINAL SYNDICATE.
 
BUT..... WE ARE ASKING HOW AND WHY RAY RAY WAS HIRED AT THE UBC INTERNATIONAL AND HOW HE IS NOW CLAIMING TO BE THE CHIEF OPERATING OFFICER OF THE CORRUPT EASTERN ATLANTIC  COUNCIL


  
ANOTHER SHINING EXAMPLE FROM THE BOTTOM OF THE UBC LEADERSHIP BARREL???   
 
 

SORRY BUT WITH CASH MCCARRON AND SO MANY OF HIS CRONIES SUFFERING FROM THE CHARLIE MANSON SYNDROME YOU CAN UNDERSTAND WHY WE MIGHT BE CYNICAL

$52 MILLION!!!! ANOTHER $30 MILLION TO BUILD OUT!!! I WONDER IF THE NEW EASTERN ATLANTIC CIRCUS CLOWN HEADQUARTERS WILL BE NAMED "THE HOUSE THAT CORRUPTION BUILT"

 CARPENTERS UNION BUYS 52.5 MILLION NAVY YARD BUILDING AND PLANS TO MOVE


The Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters plans to relocate its Spring Garden-based headquarters and two local training centers.

The Eastern Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters plans to relocate its headquarters and two local training centers to the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

“We’re extremely excited about the prospects and what this facility is going to transform into over the next few years,” William Sproule, executive secretary-treasurer for the Carpenters, said on Tuesday. “It’s really only the beginning of the story, and we’re going to be doing a lot of neat things down there.”

The council had outgrown its Spring Garden Street facility, Sproule said, and started seeking a new property 2½ years ago. Philadelphia buildings continue to have vacancies as a result of the pandemic, he said, and the current state of the real estate industry represented an opportunity.

The council purchased the Navy Yard building for $52.5 million, said Sproule, and the deal closed on Dec. 19. The building at 5 Crescent Dr. previously sold for $130.5 million in 2018.

The four-story, 208,000-square-foot building was designed for drugmaker GSK by the architectural firm of Robert A.M. Stern, which is also responsible for the first Comcast tower.

The pharmaceutical company moved its operations to the Navy Yard from Center City in 2013.

Although GSK was a remote-friendly company since before the COVID-19 pandemic, the building remained well used until 2020.

Then, in 2022, GSK moved its operations out of the then-lightly used Navy Yard office to a 50,000-square-foot office in University City’s FMC Tower. In an unusual move the company continued to pay rent at the former location, and did not seek to sublease the space.

That left the building at 5 Crescent Dr. in a tricky position: it is difficult to get new financing on a vacant building, even if rent is still being paid, because it is clear that when the lease is up the tenant will not renew. As a result, the building owner, Korea Investment Management Co., ran into financial problems on the property which went into foreclosure.

Special servicer Rialto Capital Management has been handling the day-to-day care of the building in recent years. Neither Rialto nor GSK immediately replied to requests for comment.

Office space in the Navy Yard is in high demand, with no official vacancy thanks to GSK’s continued rental of their former space. According to the official website, it hosts over 16,500 workers from 150 companies.

Carpenters union’s plans for the Navy Yard

Plans for the Navy Yard site include constructing a training facility adjacent to the purchased building that would eventually replace the council’s Northeast Philly and New Castle training centers, said Sproule. He estimated that it could cost $30 million to build out “on the low end,” and take at least 24 months to complete.

The move to the Navy Yard will also improve accessibility for some, said Sproule. When apprentices who live in the city are first starting out, they might not have access to a car, he said, adding that the new site is conveniently located near the NRG SEPTA stop.

“I think it’s going to be extremely convenient for members doing journeyman upgrade classes that live within the city limits as well as apprentices that live within the city limits that may not drive as much as folks that live out in the suburbs,” he said.

Sproule said employees of the union could be working out of the Navy Yard site as soon as the end of April, with initially up to 125 people based out of the building’s fourth floor.

The council has also already identified some potential tenants to lease out parts of the Navy Yard building.

Sproule said the council is considering selling the Spring Garden facility, or getting it “zoned for a mid-rise, multifamily structure.”

“We may try to build something similar to what’s across the street, or we may sell it to an interested party. We haven’t made those decisions yet,” he said. “I guess it’s just going to be a matter of what’s more practical and feasible.”

Sproule said the purchase of the Navy Yard site seemed from the start like “a really good deal.” Then when he learned from an article in the Philadelphia Business Journal that the building at one time had sold for roughly $130 million, he said, “knowing that somebody actually invested that kind of capital for that building back then — which wasn’t that long ago, when you think about it — makes me really feel good about our endeavors that we’re about to embark on.”

“Aside from our pension funds and all the investments that we do on that end to make sure that they are strong and secure for generations to come, we do have general fund assets that our Regional Council uses for operational purposes. We just hit a spot in time where we had an opportunity to possibly look at an investment of this size and magnitude, and it was just a matter of being at the right time, at the right place,” he said.

Navy Yard neighbors

The Carpenters are not the first building trades union to move to the Navy Yard from Spring Garden.

In 2023, International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 98 announced that it would be relocating its headquarters from 1719 Spring Garden St. The union purchased two properties for $18.5 million.

“We’re excited to be their neighbors,” said Sproule.

The Regional Council of Carpenters and Local 98 are among the most powerful building trades unions in Philadelphia, and they have strong membership bases in South Jersey and South Philadelphia, making the Navy Yard location at the edge of the city ideal for many members.

The spacious property at the Navy Yard also allows room for training facilities, which could be difficult to co-locate with a headquarters office in other parts of the city.

On the other side of Philadelphia is another concentration of building trades infrastructure in the Far Northeast. Near the Bucks County line, this hub provides similar advantages for union locals that include the Steamfitters, Ironworkers, and Bricklayers.
