[QUOTE="browned out, post: 3949067, member: 8105"] [I][/I] lol on the not working at UPS comment. You should be ashamed of your conduct. Come down and actually do some work at UPS for 30 years. Let's see how you hold up. If you ever worked at UPS; It is definitely not the same job it was back then. Another side-step of facts by an "elected" teamster official who may or may not engage in the same tactics as Betty Rose Fischer. One thing for sure is that you knew about her behavior and did nothing about it. You are culpable. Back off topic. It appears the Teamsters have many despicable ways of attempting to deter members from running for office. Get the opponent fired, buy them out, What else has occurred to keep this Hoffa/Hall garbage machine rolling over hard working Teamsters? Is BUG really Charles Henry? Was Charles Henry TDU or Hoffa loyal? IT DOES NOT MATTER. IT IS REPROACH AS WAS BRF'S CONDUCT. IV. ANALYSIS A. Henry Unfairly Attempted To Influence the Local 299 Election It appears that Henry brought reproach upon the IBT when he attempted to influence the Local 299 officer election by offering Garrett, a candidate for Recording Secretary on an opposing slate, a $2,000 bribe to withdraw from the Local election. Indeed, Henry attempted to violate the rights of Local 299 members to nominate and vote for the candidate of their choice by offering an undisclosed bribe to a rival candidate to drop out of the race. On balance, we have decided to suspend Charles Henry from union employment and office for a period of six months because, as charged, he offered to pay Helen Garrett $2,000 on condition that she withdraw her candidacy for union office. With respect to the charge of providing false testimony under oath to the joint council, we have evaluated the seriousness of Brother Henry's misconduct in light of the mitigating factors described above. At the same time, because the commission of this offense severely limits the ability of the union to regulate itself, we consider it a particularly serious matter at this time for this union. On balance, we will impose on Charles Henry a suspension of one year from employment and office, without pay but without loss of membership, on the second charge. These penalties are to be served consecutively. The Charging Party and Charged Party have the right to appeal this decision as provided in Article XIX, Section 2 of the IBT Constitution. The Federal Bureau of Investigation ("FBI") provided the Chief Investigator with a copy of a transcript of the September 28, 2000 consensually taped conversation between Garrett and Henry. (Ex. 4) The transcript confirmed Garrett's testimony at the Joint Council hearing that Henry offered her the cash on condition that she withdraw from the race. (Ex. 4 at 7-9) The relevant transcript excerpt stated: [I]Garrett: Okay, lemme try tah understand this Charles. You sayin in order for me tah get that, I have tah drop off before four today right? Henry: Yep, that's right, that's to, uh, well an' it's, well, we give it to ya tah help you, help you pay your bills if you drop off.[/I] [I]* * * Garrett: ...well, how does this work? Henry: If you wanna drop out Helen, we'll help you pay your bills to date with the two, with the two thousand dollars. Garrett: So in other words you would have tah know that I really did drop out before I get the, uh, the money right? Henry: Tah help you with the, tah help you (unintelligible).. Garrett: Right with the, the hospital bill. Henry: Yep. [/I](Ex. 4 at 7-9) IV. ANALYSIS A. Henry Unfairly Attempted To Influence the Local 299 Election It appears that Henry brought reproach upon the IBT when he attempted to influence the Local 299 officer election by offering Garrett, a candidate for Recording Secretary on an opposing slate, a $2,000 bribe to withdraw from the Local election. Indeed, Henry attempted to violate the rights of Local 299 members to nominate and vote for the candidate of their choice by offering an undisclosed bribe to a rival candidate to drop out of the race.6 This union needs to get back on track. We are busting our butts in a job where many end up needing knee replacement, hip replacement, back surgery, tennis and golf elbow, carpel tunnel, etc . We deserve a Union that Fulfills it's DUTY OF FAIR REPRESENTATION DURING CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS. Instead: We have a union that condones retaliation against the members. A union that secures concessions contract after contract. [/QUOTE]
