Unity Conference???

[Bubblehead]

Does anybody know what goes on at this event?

Couldn't find anything about this years event on the IBT website, or in a Google search?

It looks like last year's version was a good time for all of those fortunate enough to attend in Las Vegas.

In my state, Ohio, our State Panel was pushed back almost 3 weeks and we are only hearing discharge cases this month.

I'm sure it will be well worth the wait for all of us with cases to be heard.

After all, it's in the name of "Unity"?

Yeah, might have to wait a bit to get your extra cash. You need a few bucks to get you through?

I'll be fine, although I have been waiting a year for closure on a series of grievances (7) that were supposed to follow a progression within a 5 month period?

I'm more worried about the the 5 discharges in my local that should have been heard tomorrow?

Short of asking your Local Leaders (at the monthly meeting)....

It is the equivalent of a motivational seminar, and a positive social event.

A good time ?

That depends on your definition.... of what a "good time" is.

Nothing was "pushed" back.

Every Local gets a copy of the State Panel dates, well before, the 1st of the year.

After all, it's in the name of "Unity"?

If elected in to office.... would you refuse to go, and not represent your Local ??

Ok, thanks and that's what I thought.
Our membership meeting is actually tonight, but I won't get off in time to attend.

A good time ?

Golf and poker and all the trappings that are Las Vegas???......yea, a good time.

I got a copy of the very calendar you refer to for 2015 from my local in late December and the OSJC was for sure delayed, postponed, rescheduled and or pushed back from its originally scheduled date in the month of May.
Additionally, only discharge grievances will be heard during the one day event, the Friday before Labor Day.

If elected in to office.... would you refuse to go, and not represent your Local ??

If I had 5 discharges deadlocked to the panel the following week???....perhaps.

Don't blame the Ohio Panel for grievances not being heard. The members voted for the people in office. It's obvious they thought those guys could do a better job than certain other individuals

Labor Day.... is September 07, 2015.

I know your Local has more than 1 Business Agent.

Is your Local, paying.... to have the entire staff go to the Unity Conference ?

Management and union officials golf together!!

I'd rather them golf together than what my TDU BA does. He skips out the door hand in hand with management. Laughing the whole way. Lying to members what cutting deplorable side deals.

That's funny... My local union officers who shine hoffas shoes do the same! It's pretty bad when the membership votes the exact opposite of what their leadership tells them to do! Change is coming shortly!!

Change is coming shortly!!

I couldn't agree more! Funny thing was, the TDU bums ran on a "we need change" platform. Little did people know it was meant in terms of the 9.5 grievance payout deal the BA has been cutting.

File charges on him !! We both agree that change needs to happen in our own locals! We just don't agree on the man who stole my vote!!
