[QUOTE="Inthegame, post: 1192136, member: 37112"] Losing that Bus Rep will save 2X your $75K estimate. But on to your salient points...If indeed you were an officer before, you know every expense must be reported and the Trustees of the E-Board bear responsibility if expenses are hidden and can be in serious do-do if anything is held back. If the allocation made to a JC benefit plan is made, it must be reported. I see nothing on L396's LM2 that corresponds with your allegation. If an allocation is made, I'm guessing it is part of the comp package your local has approved and reported to the membership. I see no allocation as alleged to any "slush" fund in L952. L396 lists 29 staff and over 10,200 members. L952 lists 28 employees with 8800 members which appears to be a bit overweight with staff, but some appear to have limited employment on a term basis, probably an organizing drive. The salaries in both Locals are modest by California standards (other than both PO's) and both locals had exceptional expenses fighting anti-union propositions. The legal fees appear high in L952 which means lots of arbitrations and/or higher than normal negotiation expenses. That happens, and it means the union is providing the necessary service for their members. [/QUOTE]
