The
general assault on the pensions of US workers under the Obama era
Kline-Miller Multiemployer Pension Reform Act of 2014 has now taken aim
at the pensions of tens of thousands of construction workers in
southeast Michigan. Nearly 20,000 active and retired carpenters and
millwrights in the Detroit metropolitan area are facing deep cuts in
their pensions in July 2021.
The Warren, Michigan-based Carpenters
and Millwrights fund submitted a revised application in 2020 to
Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin under the Application for Suspension
of Benefits required by the 2014 federal legislation. The current Board
of Trustees includes now president of the Michigan Regional Council of
Carpenters and Millwrights, Mike Barnwell, and other officials of the
carpenters and millwrights regional and local unions.
According
to data presented to the US Treasury Department, the $772 million
carpenters and millwrights fund is only 34.5 percent funded and in
“critical and declining” status. It is projected to run out of money to
pay benefits to 19,600 active or retired members by 2035.
The
latest communications from trustees to members report the financial
shortfalls have been exacerbated by the losses in construction jobs
resulting from the coronavirus.
This is the second submission to
the US Treasury by the fund. Some retirees have been told they would get
cuts of 15 to 26 percent in their monthly checks. The comments from
pension recipients related to looming cuts to Detroit-area carpenters
were closed by the US Treasury Department in mid-December, 2020. The
projected cuts have been denounced by many workers on the
Regulations.gov comments website.
One retiree, Michael Fannelli,
outlined how the new cuts only added to previous ones imposed under laws
existing before the 2014 federal legislation. He wrote of his personal
losses, “The Michigan carpenters fund trustees made the tough decisions
in 2008 and raised retirement age to 58 and went to a 90 point
requirement.” He goes on to explain how several more cuts were made at
key points in the following decade, and he wrote that when he applied
for retirement, “my body [was] worn out both knees needing replacement,
already have undergone spinal fusion, rotator cuff repair, and hernia
repair surgeries.” His original pension would be cut a total of 60
percent, combining the proposed and previous cuts from the amount he
expected to retire on after he put in decades of work.
Another
retired carpenter, Michael Vanderhoff wrote, “I have worked hard for 30
years and have been retired for 10 years. My body is shot! When I
retired I felt confident I could survive on my pension. I feel I have
been let down by both my union and government.”
The next step in
the grim legalistic process, a vote by the participants of the fund to
approve the draconian cuts, is thoroughly rigged and can only produce an
outcome beneficial to business. The vote is largely a formality to
create a legal facade to undermine protection and promises made to
construction workers during their working lives.
The Kline-Miller Omnibus Bill of 2014,
supported by Democrats and Republicans alike in Congress, is the
vehicle being used by business interests to gut the pensions of
construction workers and other major sections of the working class in
the US. Ever wider layers of workers are losing retirement benefits as
corporations seek to claw back all the gains workers made through past
struggles.
For 40 years, under the federal Employee Retirement
Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974, defined benefit plans have been
allowed to change the rate at which a worker earns future benefits, but
could not reduce the amount of benefits a worker or retiree had already
accumulated.
Single-employer pensions have long been under
wholesale attack as corporate raiding and bankruptcies closed or
reorganized capitalist firms in order to cut costs. The 2014 law created
a mechanism to expand the cuts to skills and classes of workers who
likely labor at several different employers during their working lives.
The
Kline-Miller Omnibus Bill created a legal mechanism to attack the
multiemployer plans covering the retirement benefits for workers in
trucking, mining, construction and other sectors. It was crafted with
direct collaboration between business, government and the unions
collecting dues from these workers.
The passage of Kline-Miller
was preceded by the historic ruling of bankruptcy judge Steven Rhodes in
2013, overriding the Michigan state constitution, to allow the gutting
of pensions of tens of thousands of Detroit city workers.
Like the
blackmail narrative that union tops used to engineer the favorable vote
in the Detroit city workers case, if the carpenters plan is voted down,
the trustees claim retirees would lose out anyway. According to the
law, their multiemployer pension fund is expected to go broke and
pensions then shifted to draw from the federal Pension Benefit Guarantee
Corporation (PBGC). That would mean pension cuts of between 20 percent
and 90 percent for each beneficiary in multiemployer plans.
A
recent vote by the Southwest Ohio Regional Council of Carpenters Pension
Plans 5,527 participants, concerning US Treasury-approved reductions
under the same pension reform law, revealed a great deal about how the
process is rigged against workers. The Treasury authorized the cuts
based on a formula that counted non-voters as “yes” votes. The plan had
been rejected nearly two to one by those voting.
Just as alarming
is the fact that the multiemployer PBGC itself is expected to be
bankrupt by 2025. The multiemployer plan was underfunded by $638 billion
in 2015, up from $193 billion in 2007. The PBGC had a $54 billion
deficit in 2018, up from $739 million in 2006.
A Treasury
acceptance letter for an Ohio carpenters trust fund approved in 2019
says that the fund must now prove solvency every year going forward.
The
massive fund for Detroit-area construction workers is one of about 125
multiemployer pension plans nationwide. The multiemployer funds that
already have or are expected to submit applications for permission to
cut benefits soon, affect 1.4 million workers and retirees in the US.
Among
the multiemployer plans in trouble and listed on Treasury’s pension
reform site is the United Central States Pension Fund, covering truckers
and UPS retirees. A plan proposing cuts of up to an 80 percent
reduction in benefits was rejected
as insufficient by Treasury officials in 2016, based on “inequity” in
cuts to general truck drivers and some of the UPS participants. There
are 400,000 participants and beneficiaries depending on the fund.
Various schemes to bolster failing pension funds have made no progress in Congress.
None
offer a solution. An incentive to further risky investments comes as
carpenters have cited the bad investments and outright graft that
contributed to the insolvency of the fund and reduced benefits through
point and retirement age adjustments in previous years.
One retired carpenter told the World Socialist Web Site
that the number of employers who no longer pay into the carpenters
pension fund has mushroomed. He noted: “Yes, there are less young people
paying in,” referring to some estimates that put 2.5 retirees to every
working carpenter or millwright paying into the plan. He continued: “But
how did that happen? You have a lot of construction now but many of the
jobs—sometimes the same construction companies that were in it
before—not contributing into the pension plan. How can there be all that
construction going on in downtown Detroit and there be so many fewer
construction workers paying in?
“This has been going on for some
time. First the pension trustees told us that it would only affect the
younger guys, not the ones who had been working for a while or already
been retired. It’s a very complicated formula now but I hear all are
going to be cut by some amount.
“I think there should be an
investigation of the corruption. As to the claim they made bad
investments—whatever they did they lined their own pockets. [Former
chairman of the pension fund’s board] Ralph Mabry went to jail,
convicted and put on one year supervised release. The federal government
seized files and everything.
“I have a lot of relatives who are
carpenters and they are going to lose at least 15 percent across the
board. One of my younger relatives told me recently that he has not
worked a union job in five years.”

AS THEY DID HERE THEY DO EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO PREVENT CHARGES FROM BEING FILED AGAINST THEIR UNION PALS. WHEN THEY ARE FORCED TO FILE THE CHARGES, WHICH IN THIS CASE HAD TO BE FORCED ON THE REGIONAL OFFICE BY THE DIVISION OF ADVICE,THEY COERCE THE CHARGING PARTY TO SIGN A SETTLEMENT THAT IS FAVORABLE TO THE UNION
ASK YOURSELF HOW IN GODS NAME IT COULD POSSIBLY TAKE THE NLRB 2 YEARS STOP A UNION CRIMINAL SYNDICATE FROM ROBBING ITS OWN MEMBERS.
ASK THE NLRB WHY IT REUSED TAKE THE STEPS TO END THIS EXTORTION IN ALL UBC COUNCILS NATIONWIDE WHEN THEY HAD THE CHANCE IN THIS CASE. WHY ARE THEY FORCING MEMBERS TO FILE MORE CHARGES IN THE HOPE THEY CAN DETER THEM AND REFUSE TO FILE THE CHARGES.
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SEE HOW AND WHY IT TOOK TWO YEARS OR JOIN IN EXPOSING THE NLRB JUST ASK AND WE WILL SHARE THE INFORMATION.
DESPITE THEIR BLATANT LIES TO THE CONTRARY:
(1)THE UBC IMPOSED FINES ON UBC MEMBERS TO FORCE THEM NOT TO EXERCISE THEIR RIGHTS UNDER THE NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT.

When it comes to retaliation against those who expose corruption, the
United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners has few rivals. Five
recently fired staff members of a New Jersey-based affiliate know this
first-hand – and are taking action. On December 1, the former employees filed suit
in New Jersey State Superior Court in Newark against a regional union
benefit fund and its executive secretary, claiming they were ousted from
their jobs last March for supporting a union official who had been
terminated ostensibly for alerting law enforcement to the theft of about
$1.5 million in benefits. Ex-benefits manager George Laufenberg had
been indicted in September 2019 on federal fraud charges following a
probe by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Inspector General and
Employee Benefits Security Administration, assisted by the Port
Authority of New York and New Jersey.
The focus of attention, as Union Corruption Update explained late in 2019,
is George Laufenberg, until recently manager of the New Jersey
Carpenters’ Pension, Annuity, Health and Training/Apprenticeship Fund
and a commissioner of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.
Laufenberg, now 70, a resident of Harvey Cedars (Ocean County), N.J.,
allegedly used his union position to embezzle more than $1.5 million in
retirement funds and other union assets in a variety of ways. The Labor
Department launched a probe in 2017 after John Ballantyne, executive
secretary-treasurer of the Northeast Regional Council of Carpenters,
alerted the DOL about the missing funds. The union fired Ballantyne in
May 2018 and dissolved the council, replacing it with the Eastern
Atlantic States Regional Council of Carpenters. Five months later,
Ballantyne, along with former union employees Robert Weakly and Robert
Czarnecki, filed a whistleblower suit in New Jersey Superior Court
alleging extensive “self-dealing and corruption” by Carpenters General
President Douglas McCarron and two other top union officials. The suit was dismissed.
As union top brass retaliated against Ballantyne, it also has
retaliated against five persons who sided with him. These individuals –
John Ballantyne’s son Justin, New Jersey State Assemblyman and longtime
Carpenters union member Anthony Verrelli (D-Trenton), and union
activists Alex Lopez, Susan Schultz and Vanessa Salazar – responded with
their own whistleblower lawsuit on December 1 in New Jersey Superior
Court in Essex County (Newark) against the Eastern Atlantic States
Regional Council and its secretary-treasurer. Using New Jersey’s Conscientious Employee Protection Act (CEPA) and Law Against Discrimination Act
(LAD) as the basis for their action, the plaintiffs are seeking
unspecified compensatory and punitive damages, back pay and retirement
benefits, plus attorney’s fees.
Plaintiffs’ attorney Nancy Erika Smith of the Smith Mullin firm in
Montclair, N.J. insists her clients were fired via email on March 27 of
last year without warning. This was a case of “textbook retaliation,”
she said. “They purged anyone affiliated with John Ballantyne.” What’s
more, added Smith, the union continually harassed the dissenters. “They
(the dissenters),” she noted,
“were verbally threatened and stalked; tracking devices were
surreptitiously hidden on their vehicles; their phones were monitored;
and their every movement was scrutinized and questioned.” The
retaliation went further. According to the complaint, the union cut the
employees’ pay and budgets, demoted them, and forced them to relinquish
the passwords to their digital devices. Moreover, the union reassigned
the dissenters to distant job sites, significantly adding to their daily
commute. In short, the union did everything possible to frustrate these
employees into quitting, and when that didn’t work, it fired them.
The union has a different account of things. Frank Mahoney,
communications director for the Eastern Atlantic States Regional
Council, says the dismissals had nothing to do with retaliation. “It is
unfortunate that former employees would make such accusations about our
union,” said Mahoney.
“In the midst of a global pandemic, our council had to make the tough
and unfortunate decisions many other unions, businesses and
organizations had to make regarding staffing levels.” He added that the
union has decreased staffing levels in every state under council
jurisdiction. In addition to New Jersey, that means Delaware, Maryland,
Pennsylvania, Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia.
Smith isn’t buying this explanation. “There were no work stoppages
caused by the coronavirus; union members with much less seniority were
not laid off; and members in other related unions were only temporarily
furloughed,” she remarked.
“The union leadership saw in the pandemic an opportunity to clean house
of troublemakers who wanted to move the union forward, to change the
decades-long, white-men-only culture in which no one questioned
leadership.”
The second part of Smith’s comment, unfortunately, reveals political
motives apart from whistle-blowing. The issue is not a “white men only”
culture in the Carpenters or any other union. Bringing in more women and
nonwhites to run things won’t necessarily mitigate corruption. Over the
years, Union Corruption Update has published hundreds, if not thousands
of stories on women and members of racial minorities ripping off
unions, and often in large amounts. Racial and gender quotas are about
the last thing any labor organization needs. But that said, the
dissenters are right to file suit. Union members have a right under law
to speak out against what they see as misconduct by their officers. The
Carpenters at the international and district levels need to be
transparent about the harassment and firing of the plaintiffs, the
firing of John Ballantyne, and the apparent theft by the indicted George
Laufenberg of at least $1.5 million in retirement benefits meant for
dues-paying members.

LETS WALK DOWN MEMORY LANE
"At a January 2009 dinner at the Old Homestead Restaurant in Manhattan,
Mr. Spencer was present with Mr. Forde and seven other district council
officials and staff members to swear in new officers, according to
expense reports filed as exhibits with Mr. Walsh’s report. The bill for
the meal, which took place five months before Mr. Forde’s indictment,
was $2,233.59, or nearly $250 a person"
"Most financial improprieties, occurred before Mr.
Spencer’s supervision began.
But some
troubling spending practices continued under his watch, according to the
report."
"But the 71-page document,
the First Interim Report of the Review Officer, which was filed in
federal court in Manhattan, accompanied by hundreds of pages of
exhibits, includes evidence and troubling allegations that some of the
same kinds of misconduct that led to the 2009 charges have continued
under Mr. Spencer’s supervision."
Frank Spencer, was installed by the parent union in August 2009, days after the federal racketeering indictment was unsealed
charging the district council’s leader, Michael J. Forde, and nine
others, including union officials, contractors and the head of an
industry association.
But the 71-page document,
the First Interim Report of the Review Officer, which was filed in
federal court in Manhattan, accompanied by hundreds of pages of
exhibits, includes evidence and troubling allegations that some of the
same kinds of misconduct that led to the 2009 charges have continued
under Mr. Spencer’s supervision.
“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 review officer,
Dennis M. Walsh, 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 Mr. Walsh said was “a
matter of grave import” that remained under investigation.
Mr.
Walsh was appointed in June by a federal judge presiding over a
two-decade-old civil racketeering lawsuit brought by the federal
government against the district council charging corruption and mob
control. That case resulted in a 1994 consent decree meant to clean up
the union, a task that, based on the 2009 criminal case and Mr. Walsh’s
report, remains far from complete.
Mr. Forde and eight union officials and contractors have pleaded guilty
in the criminal case. Joseph Olivieri, the former head of the
Association of Wall-Ceiling and Carpentry Industries of New York, went
to trial and was convicted in late October of perjury for lying about
his ties to organized crime figures. Mr. Forde was sentenced in November
to 11 years in prison, and a union shop steward, Michael Brennan, was
sentenced to five years. The other eight men are to be sentenced this
year.
Since
the consent decree was signed, Mr. Walsh, who says in the report that
his staff is made up of former law prosecutors and investigators with
experience in organized crime cases and unions, is the fourth outsider
assigned either to investigate allegations of corruption or to monitor
the district council.The
report provides a detailed review of excessive spending by senior
officials of the district council and the local unions, and a range of
other financial improprieties, most of which occurred before Mr.
Spencer’s supervision began.
But some
troubling spending practices continued under his watch, according to the
report. Among them was a retirement party for Denis Sheil, a longtime
officer and business manager of Local 1536 and the District Council vice
president since 2002.
Upon his
retirement in 2009, Mr. Sheil was given a $15,064 all-terrain vehicle by
the local and an $8,328 gold Rolex watch by the district council. He
was initially allowed to keep about $30,000 in cash that remained in a
fund set up for his retirement dinner after the $14,176 bill was paid,
according to the report. Mr. Sheil later returned the money.
And
at a January 2009 dinner at the Old Homestead Restaurant in Manhattan,
Mr. Spencer was present with Mr. Forde and seven other district council
officials and staff members to swear in new officers, according to
expense reports filed as exhibits with Mr. Walsh’s report. The bill for
the meal, which took place five months before Mr. Forde’s indictment,
was $2,233.59, or nearly $250 a person.
A
spokesman for the parent union, Scott Widmeyer, defended Mr. Spencer’s
tenure. And while Mr. Widmeyer did not respond to a question about Mr.
Sheil’s retirement gifts, he said Mr. Spencer recalled that he presided
over the swearing-in ceremony and stopped by a restaurant afterward, but
that he did not stay for dinner
“We view this as a work in progress,” Mr. Widmeyer wrote in an e-mail
late last month. “Frank Spencer characterizes this as peeling an onion.
Each time you peel, you find another problem. So we keep peeling away.”
Mr.
Widmeyer said that under the emergency supervision, 17 employees had
been terminated for issues like misusing funds, excessive spending, drug
use and manipulating the out-of-work lists.
“We
are making progress, and more needs to be made and will be made,” he
said, adding, “Today there is far greater transparency, and organizing
efforts are succeeding.”
He said the parent union’s recent closing of Local 608, one of the district council’s more troubled units, indicated that the effort was continuing and aggressive.
But,
as Mr. Walsh points out in his report, the challenge facing the
District Council is not insignificant. It has been for decades, he
noted, “a fiefdom for brutes, thieves, con men and other species of
racketeers who have subjugated and robbed its members and vitiated its
democratic and benevolent purpose.”
“The
record also demonstrates,” he wrote, “that efforts to achieve systemic
reform have been trampled by the seemingly limitless capacity of
racketeers to blithely disregard the orders of this court and the risk
of criminal prosecution as they pursue wealth, political power and
satisfy their sybaritic yearnings.”
In
an e-mail, Mr. Walsh said his goal was “to build a strong institution
that can police itself, is ethical, uses technology to surmount ancient
racketeering methods, hires people on merit, reviews their performance
objectively and spends money prudently and with close internal oversight
and provides a fair justice system for its members.”

THE COVID VIRUS ALSO MADE DIRTY DOUG TRY TO SCAM UBC MEMBERS AND WRITE OFF $22 MILLION IN BAD DEBT FOR THE UBC FRONT COMPANY AND THE ODIE ODOMS.
OF COURSE THE DOCUMENTS SHOW THE DEBT WAS DUE A FULL YEAR BEFORE THE VIRUS HIT.WE ALSO HAVE TO WONDER HOW THE TENNESSEE SHYTE KICKERS GOT $22 MILLION(AND SO MUCH MORE) OF MEMBERS MONEY TO START WITH
THE UBC INTERNATIONAL HAS DECLARED
IT WOULD NOT BE COLLECTING A $22,817, 602 DEBT FROM ODOM CONSTRUCTION
FUNNELED THROUGH THE PLACID INVESTORS SCAM
YES SIR THE COVID VIRUS SURE HAS IMPACTED US ALL
LITTLE DID WE KNOW IT WOULD BE USED TO SHUT DOWN JUSTICE AND ALLOW UBC CROOKS SUCH AS DOUG MCCARRON,LAUFENBERG,SPENCER AND CAPELLI TO SIT N THE COMFORT OF THEIR OWN HOMES.IF IT HAD BEEN ONE OF US WE WOULD BE IN JAIL WITH NO BAIL BY NOW
LITTLE DID WE KNOW IT WOULD BE USED BY MCCARRON STOOGES SUCH AS BILLY SPROULE AND RAY BRUGUERAS TO PURGE THOSE WHO THESE TWO UBC ASSCLOWNS HAVE DECIDED ARE A THREAT TO THE UBC CRIMINAL SYNDICATE
