Most of his time was spent at his house monitoring every move that is made in that union hall. He is what I would instead call insanely paranoid and borderline NUTS! He has the entire union hall’s telephone lines bugged and he illegally records phone calls (don’t believe me? There was a grievance filed against him with the office workers union for illegally recording a personal conversation and then using it to chastise an employee). He has recording devices installed in the locals offices, he has a key capture program that he bought with our dues money to install on the computer system at the union hall so that he can not only obtain personal password information of everyone and anyone who signs on to their emails on the local’s computers but he also is able to retrieve and read actual emails sent to and from everyone in the local. He would come in to the office EVERYDAY way past noon and then proceed to take a 2 hour lunch with his wife, who by the way also works for the local too! He is a problem…his mental status is a problem…his never being at the office and still getting paid is a problem so much so that the executive board brought it to his attention several times.
