[QUOTE="The Other Side, post: 1191961, member: 17969"] I am not saying action isnt being taken by the current 952 regime, and I can agree with your points, but regardless of cuts, sustaining the local is still an issue. Real Estate values presently in California are depressed, and the selling of those assets may see an even larger loss of money. The releasing of one business agent may save 75K a year, but that wont float the boat for very long. The real issue is where is the money going? How outrageous are the salaries and benefits of the local? What backdoor contributions are being taken out of the dues money and placed into trust funds? For example, in 396, our officers are having over $1000.00 each (per month) contributed into the pacific coast trust fund for them. I am sure NOT one of the members in local 396 are aware of this. I am, as I was an officer of the local. Do the math. Presently, thats approximately $170K put away when they exit the local (if they leave end of 2014). Did the members approve this? NO. The executive board voted by majority to do so. It will be curious to see what kind of contributions local 952 is making for its officers into the pacific coast trust fund. These are the types of things the members need to find out about and stop if it helps keeps the local afloat. Slush funds NEVER help the local. Peace TOS [/QUOTE]
