ST. LOUIS — The former head of the St. Louis-Kansas City Carpenters Regional Council says the national union’s decision to put its Chicago office in charge of St. Louis was “nothing more than a political coup d’etat,” that “illegally” gave it control of “tens of billions” in assets held by the union’s pension and benefit funds.
Al Bond’s answer, filed last week in a federal lawsuit brought against him by the Chicago office of the Carpenters’ union, is his first public defense since officials with the United Brotherhood of Carpenters suddenly ousted him, dissolved the St. Louis council and put its operations under Chicago’s control.
In his answer, Bond alleges that “six or so” people in the St. Louis office complained to national union officials in the hopes of ousting Bond and taking over the union.
“This was nothing more than a hostile takeover of the Union led by a personal individual attack upon defendant initially by a few ... dissident members who complained to the (United Brotherhood of Carpenters) offices of (President Doug McCarron) because they wanted to replace Defendant,” Bond lawyer John Goffstein wrote in the May 4 filing. “It did not work.”
Bond has countersued the Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council, asking a judge to order the reinstatement of the St. Louis council and its officers and the return of its benefit fund assets.
“The Plaintiff, by and through its Chicago affiliate, committed an improper theft of the St. Louis Council assets otherwise belonging to this area’s membership,” Bond says in the filing.
The St. Louis-based council was among the most influential unions in the region’s political and business circles, writing six-figure checks to area politicians and negotiating labor contracts for a sizable chunk of the area’s construction workforce.
In September, Bond’s position was eliminated and the St. Louis council was terminated with little explanation. UBC President Doug McCarron later said the national union was investigating “financial malfeasance” in the St. Louis-Kansas City Carpenters Regional Council, and union officials said they planned formal, internal charges against Bond for “defrauding” the union.
In legal filings last month, Goffstein revealed Bond had “Department of Justice issues,” disclosing that Bond was looking at hiring “defense firms” as co-counsel.
In March, the Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council sued Bond and two outdoor advertising companies owned by James Neumann, seeking to void the agreements between the union and the companies.
The lawsuit accuses Bond of paying Interrail Outdoor LLC $4 million for three billboards, only one of which had been built. Bond entered into an agreement with Interrail in January 2020 but didn’t receive approval from the executive committee until a year later, by which time he already had paid the company $3 million, according to the lawsuit.
Bond also inked contracts with Foxpoint Interactive, another company owned by Neumann, that gave it rights for 32 years to a portion of advertising revenue derived from union property. The terms, the lawsuit claims, are “inconsistent” with the union’s purpose and could cause an “undesirable” tax burden.
But the contracts with Neumann’s firms, Bond argues, were good for the union and received the required approvals. Only one billboard has been installed, Bond argues, because the union “stopped the project in its tracks.”
“This was a great deal for the Union, well within its sphere of influence and legal authority since the union, instead of paying the sign companies for advertising at prime locations at or near union facilities, was able to negotiate a profit-making venture which would also allow them to advertise for prospective Union members,” Bond’s filing argues.
While Bond led the St. Louis Council, a position he had held since 2015, union audits and reports filed with federal regulators never “resulted in anything other than proper oversight,” Bond’s filing argues.
Bond’s lawyer declined to comment. Dowd Bennett attorney Jim Martin, representing the Mid-America Carpenters Regional Council, declined to comment.
Foxpoint and Interrail, now represented by attorneys Armstrong Teasdale, argue there is no allegation they did anything wrong or should have known Bond was violating union bylaws.
“Bond’s alleged actions or violations do not permit the Union to avoid its obligations in these contracts at the expense of third parties like Interrail and Foxpoint,” the companies argue in their own filing.
An attorney for Neumann’s companies did not respond to a request for comment.
Bond isn’t the only former regional leader union officials are currently suing.
In November, national officials took over the Seattle-based Pacific Northwest Regional Council of Carpenters, alleging fraud in contract votes following contentious strikes there last year.
The union is suing the former head of the Northwest regional council, Evelyn Shapiro, who resigned in the wake of the takeover. She is accusing McCarron and the union’s longtime lawyer, Dan Shanley, of corruption, while the union accuses her of fabrications to “discredit the investigation that uncovered and exposed her repeated instances of vote rigging.”
Meanwhile, a former top Carpenters union official who was indicted in New Jersey, George Laufenberg, has entered plea negotiations with the feds, Politico reported last week. Laufenberg is a former commissioner for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and oversaw Carpenters union benefit funds before the union fired him in 2016. He was indicted in 2019, and a federal grand jury sent several subpoenas to entities tied to the Carpenters union.
DOUG SUCKING TRUMPS ASS
COME BACK. DOUG WANTS TO KISS MY ASS ON CAMERA
SHANLEY AND MCCARRON EXPOSED IN FEDERAL COURT FOR BEING THE PUNKS WE ALREADY KNEW THEY ARE
Defendant Shapiro believes discovery will be needed regarding plaintiffs’ corruption to include Dan Shanley and Doug McCarron directing vote rigging, union busting, and usurping member voting rights to take power away from and to control the Regional Council its members and their resources.
Shapiro will conduct discovery into Doug McCarron and Dan Shanley and their abuse of power, dishonesty, and fraudulent practices here and with other Regional Councils and leaders that they have similarly abused to amass personal power and wealth at the expense of union members nationwide.
CROOKED TEETH SHANLEY THE DELUSIONAL LITTLE SHYTE
"For the most part, Dan Shanley acted as if
he was the alter ego of the UBC dictating its position on matters and directing how he thought I should lead the Regional Council".
UBC ALTER EGO.HMM.TELL US AGAIN HOW IT WAS POSSIBLE AND UNDER WHAT AUTHORITY DECARLO AND SHANLEY ESCORTED MALONEY TO HER CAR AND FIRED HER.THESE RATS ARE HIRED HANDS
"Shanley did not make me
feel motivated to seek any legal advice from Shanley, though he often touted himself as the “best labor lawyer in the country"
BEST LABOR LAWYER IN THE COUNTRY!!CROOKED TEETH YOUR ASS SUCKS CANAL WATER
The degree to which Dan Shanley is controlling the narrative and distorting the truth is frightening and alarming.
"I understand Dan Shanley thought his knowledge of the law gave him superior expertise in making day to day management decisions, and while I felt obliged to listen given his power and
position within the UBC"
SCREW THE MEMBERS AND TEACH THEM A LESSON
"Consistently Shanley and McCarron were directing me to take control out of the hands of union members"
"McCarron had directed me to engage in the strike in 2021 because according to him, my union members needed to “feel some pain” and “have some skin in the game.” It is phenomenally difficult to lead members in a strike when the stated goal by upper leadership is to “teach members a lesson.”"
MCCARRONS DEMAND TO TAKE AWAY THE MEMBERS VOTE
"My beliefs about member participation in approving negotiated agreements conflicted with UBC leadership’s approach and I was admonished on several occasions by Shanley and McCarron for supporting the Council’s practice that members be given the opportunity to vote on their contract.The UBC wanted more control"
"When I would not sign negotiated agreements without member input and when I objected to Doug McCarron’s pressure to let him sign it without a member vote"
In fact, McCarron did not like that my membership participated in the bargaining process and voted for their contract, and they consistently urged me to take the vote away from the membership or to “let us [McCarron] just sign it”
Regarding the members’ collective bargaining agreements and contract
votes I understood I could sign the agreements or delegate that to McCarron, but I did not want to
delegate my authority, and I said so.
UBC MEMBERS ORDERED TO RIG CONTRACT VOTES
"I learned that Shanley and McCarron reportedly gave instructions to Dan Hutchins to rig votes in a 2018 contract vote. When they tried to blame all negative press the Council was experiencing, including the Allianz losses, on Dan Hutchins in 2021, I defended Dan Hutchins on those points
UFCW
"McCarron directed me regarding staff organizing efforts, saying to me, “it sounds bad but you gotta crush this.”
Choices I was making, or how occurrences such as how NLRB protected staff union organizing “looked bad for me” or “would be bad for the UBC’s decision making structure”
"Dan Shanley has falsely accused me of rigging votes and corruption when the genesis of
vote rigging and corruption comes from his actions and the actions of the UBC.
He and Doug McCarron are primarily interested in amassing power at the national and North American level.The scope of their power derives from their continued control over union members, and particularly Council staff members. If union members working for the Carpenters union elect to unionize themselves, UBC direction and control weakens over the money and decision making on a local, national, and international level. The control is no longer direct from members. This is a system that McCarron has worked hard to implement over the last 25 years"
"A staff union deeply threatens that multi-decade built legacy to centralize control and
decision making. Shanley was specifically concerned that unionized staff members might exert power over the international UBC pension"
"I did want McCarron’s support for my decisions because he was clearly directing me in the opposite direction from that which I wanted to lead".
"The upper leadership at the UBC were trying to tell me how to do my job, because they were afraid of the resulting impacts on their power structure and I happened to disagree with their approach."
"He was telling me what McCarron wanted me to do. When staff successfully voted for their union contract, McCarron told me that it needed to be just me and Shanley at the bargaining table and that our plan must entail bargaining to impasse against the unionized staff."
LETS STOP HERE AND EXPOSE WHY THE UBC COUNCIL REPS WOULD TURN TO THE UFCW
THE COUNCIL HAS THE RIGHT TO FIRE TRANSFER OR DEMOTE YOU WITH OR WITHOUT REASON
RECENTLY A UBC SUCK PUMP AND KOOLAID DRINKER WHO IS THE SON OF A UBC SUCK PUMP WHO STABBED MULTIPLE UBC MEMBERS IN THE BACK AT THE REQUEST OF MCCARRON POSTED
"Instead of going to the UFCW, the representative should have come to the delegate body because we represent carpenters, not the UFCW"
NOTICE THE DOCUMENTS ALSO PROCLAIMS
"ADOPTED BY THE DELEGATES MAY 2011"
SO LITTLE SUCK ASS WHO IS TRYING TO SUCK HIS WAY INTO A POSITION WITH THE UBC HIREARCHY" THE ANSWER IS
ONE. YOU COULD NOT DO SHYTE.
TWO.YOU ARE THE ONES WHO SCREWED THE REPS IN THE FIRST PLACE
SHANLEY ADMITS THE ALLIANZ LOSSES WERE NOT SHAPRIOS FAULT
YET THE UBC AND SOCKET PUPPET JIMMY "HEY THATS MY WIFE" GLEASON FALSELY ACCUSE SHAPRIO
Shanley was again admonishing me for the investment loss, admitting that while the
loss was not my fault, that it “looked bad” for the Council and the UBC, and that the UBC had to
protect itself from “looking bad.”
The fact is Shapiro as EST did not lose a thing. Shapiro is equally guilty with all the fund trustees. No more and no less. Shapiro did not have the power or the expertise to direct investments. Neither do any of the fund trustees. Show me Union fund trustees that have the educational background of experience to even be trustees. They are advised by the fund lawyers and put all the investments in the hands of alleged professionals. Neither Shapiro or any Trustee chose Allianz. They also have no idea that under the law no matter what the lawyer or fund investors tell them to do when the shyte hits the fan they are liable for fiduciary breach under ERISA. Liable “all together and equally”. We will not even go into the UBC Internationals demand to invest in High Risk alternatives like Allianz.. Ever hear of the UBC Hamilton lane Partnership.
DIRTY DOUG AND CROOKED TEETH SHANLEYS THREATS
'BLOOD ON THE FLOOR"
"KEEP YOUR F...ING MOUTH SHUT. DONT YOU DARE CROSS DOUG IT WILL BE LETHAL"
"It should not go unsaid that I have felt directly threatened by comments made to me by
Doug McCarron, such as “there would be blood on the floor if anyone called me a union buster”
after McCarron directed me regarding staff organizing efforts, saying to me, “it sounds bad but you gotta crush this.” After he ousted my predecessor, Doug Tweedy, McCarron told me that if anyone talked to him the way he (McCarron) had spoken to Tweedy, “there would have been blood on the floor.” It should not go further unsaid that I have felt directly threatened by comments made to me by Dan Shanley like “Keep your fucking mouth shut. Don’t you dare cross Doug. It’s lethal.
Don’t you dare cross Doug. It’ll be lethal” when I attempted to ask questions about what a
Trusteeship would entail."
I HAVE TO ASK HERE.HEY SHAPIRO HOW IN GODS NAME COULD YOU TAKE THREATS FROM THESE TWO WIMPS AND LOUD MOUTH PUNKS AS REAL. I MEAN DID YOU NOT LAUGH IN THEIR FACES?
HEY DOUGY. MY MOM IS 92 AND SAYS SHE CAN SLAP THE SHYTE OUT OF BOTH YOU AND SHANLEY AT THE SAME TIME. WE BELIEVE HER
DECLARATION OF JUAN SANCHEZ
"I suspected what was going on was the national organization, United Brotherhood of
Carpenters (“UBC”), wanted to take over local control and they were setting me up to be their
scapegoat."
"The reason I believe that was what Mr. Shanley and Mr. McCarron were trying to do was
that I knew they had been pressuring Ms. Shapiro to give them control of the Council"
"I understood that Mr. McCarron had wanted to sign the negotiated agreement or have Ms. Shapiro sign without a vote of the membership. I understood that they were not supportive of staff
organizing to be represented at the regional level. I understood they were trying to justify a
trusteeship where they would have all the power".
"I believe Dan Shanley and the UBC have published false statements against me to fit
their narrative to justify taking over control of the Council because we ran the Council from the
bottom up, member input and control, and tried to be independent from the UBC"
FOR THE RECORD. SHAPRIO DOES NOT NEED PROOF OF THESE ALLEGATIONS BUT IT APPEARS SHANLEY WAS STUPID ENOUGH TO PUT THIS IN WRITING.ANYONE WITH AN IQ OVER SIX KNOWS THAT THESE ACTIONS ARE EXACTLY WHAT DIRTY DOUG AND HIS LEGAL HACK AND CROOKED MOUTH PIECE WOULD DO.ANYONE WITH AN IQ OVER 6 KNEW THAT ONCE THE REPS VOTED FOR THE UFCW AND SHAPIRO DID NOT STOP IT MCCARRON WAS TAKING THE COUNCIL.AND BE ADVISED IF HE CANNOT ELIMINATE THE UFCW HE WILL ELIMINATE THOSE REP POSTIONS
"THIS WAS NOTHING MORE THAN A HOSTILE TAKEOVER OF THE UNION LED BY A PERSONAL ATTACK UPON THE DEFENDANT"
MEANING THIS ARSEHOLE
BONDS LAWYERS HAVE DECLARED IN FEDERAL COURT
"Defendant denies that the UBC acted within its authority in that it acted in violation of the mandates of the Labor Management Reporting and Disclosure Act (29 U.S.C.401) aka Landrum-Griffin Act of 1959, by dissolving; the St. Louis Council".
"The UBC unlawfully acted for its own political and purposes to dissolve the St. Louis Council and assign its jurisdiction to the Chicago Regional Council of Carpenters while engaging in fiduciary breach to the St. Louis Council, its Officers"
"Defendant denies that such actions were properly undertaken in the alleged dissolution of the St. Louis Council and by way of further answer states that the alleged dissolution is not valid and creates serious violations of express federal law"
"The Mooney CPA firm was never retained, hired by the St. Louis Council and did not report its findings until a month after the UBC dissolved the St. Louis Council"
"Plaintiff has since taken and or unlawfully seized control of all St. Louis union documents as well as personal items which at present are subject to the complete control of the UBC and its current President Douglas J. McCarron".
"By its actions, the officers of the Mid-America Council and the UBC have breached their admitted and stated fiduciary responsibility to act in the best interest and for the sole benefit of its membership by instead acting to its own economic benefit and internal and external political power, to the detriment of St. Louis Council"
BOND HAS COUNTER SUED TO RESTORE THE ST LOUIS COUNCIL AND ALL ITS STOLEN ASSETS TO THE MEMBERS
"The St. Louis Council which by this action and those that may follow seeks its own restoration in its entirety complete with the return of assets and fringe benefits and any and all
ONCE AGAIN TO BE CLEAR THIS IS NOT IN SUPPORT OF ALBERT BOND WHO MEMBER JOHN GOULD HAS PROVEN IS YET ANOTHER OF THE MANY EST DIRT BAGS HAND PICKED BY MCCARRON.
