Local 251

[251]

There was always a cozy relationship between the company and that local. It goes way back.

There is one BA there that is Honorable, but you have to work the Twilight to get him.

Attention Moose-Rocco,

Bylaws = Company policy.

And...I was not terminated by the Principal Officer. He literally 'recused' himself.

You can't make this up, brother.

So.... you were wacked by the E-board ?

Had to have been the E-Board.

The Principal Officer does not have the authority to "whack" him. Only the E-Board does.

Even if appointed?

 

[Bubblehead]

Even if appointed?

Yes

Kind of what I thought....

(B) "He shall have charge and supervision of all the officers and employees of the Local Union including elected business agents, and the Executive Board shall have the power to appoint, employ, suspend or discharge all appointed business agents and organizers or other employees or professional assistants, including accountants and attorneys."

"The principal officer shall have authority to interpret these Bylaws and to decide all questions of law thereunder, between meetings of the Local Union Executive Board."

Yes. Porky tried to steal a weeks worth of vacation from me. I appealed his decision to the E-board. E-board held a hearing. I tore Porky apart and embarrassed him in the hearing. E-board ruled against Porky and I won the appeal. This was in November.

Porky didn't like that so he replaced the entire eboard in the next election cycle. Their first order of business in January (two months later)was to terminate me, before they were even sworn in.

Best part....Taibi promised my Job to one of the new eboard members that voted on my removal.

Like I said. You can't make this up.

When you feel the need to literally beg the membership for respect during an extremely poorly attended monthly meeting while sitting high up on that podium, you MIGHT have forgotten what it was like to sit in those lowly metal chairs every month.

Don't worry. You'll be getting a refresher in just over 2 years. Carry on with the show, Porky and Pals.
