I would ask that if you would like to leave a comment that you think of Local 157 Blogspot as your online meeting hall and that you wouldn’t say anything on this site that you wouldn’t, say at a union meeting. Constructive criticism is welcome, as we all benefit from such advice. Obnoxious comments are not welcome.

They've tripped over their own idiocy. Those of us geared up to fight are vindicated.
ReplyDeleteEarly in 2007, while investigating another contractor for defrauding the members, the I.I. found telephone, timesheet, and other records showing that the Business Manager and two Representatives in Local 157 had not completed their activity sheets as required; had not conducted regular jobsite visits during that time; and were not even at work in their jurisdiction when they reported themselves as working a regular day (absences that far exceeded allowed leave). A fourth man had discrepancies, but not beyond his allotted leave.
ReplyDeleteOn November 13, 2007, the I.I. delivered a report to Council executives documenting Local 157 staff attendance from January 15 to October 15, 2007 (with vacation, sick, and other valid leave days removed). Testimony at the UBC supervision hearing indicated the following:
* William Hanley, 153 work days: 52 unaccounted, 71 left early.
* Fred Kennedy, 166 work days: 36 unaccounted, 109 left early.
* George Dilacio, 162 work days: 29 unaccounted, 46 left early.
[In other words, in these 9 months, the men—beyond all of their valid time off—were paid to work a combined 481 days, yet could not account for 117 full days (24%) plus 226 partial days (47%).
AFTER MANY MEETINGS, TWO RESIGNED AND ONE WAS DISMISSED
The I.I.’s written evidence obligated Council leaders to respond. They met with each of the accused during the week of November 13, and offered each one a chance to challenge the facts; no decision or action occurred at that point. Officials convened on the 17th, and—given such long-running serious offenses—reached a strong consensus to end the men’s employment and have them leave office. On Monday the 19th, each man was given an option to resign within two days. On November 21, Business Manager/President Hanley and Representative/Financial Secretary Kennedy came in to Council offices and signed resignation papers. Representative/Vice President Dilacio did not appear and was dismissed.
We all know the show back in 2007 was designed to " make go away " freddy and billys actions up to that point. Before something like the Aug 5 indictment came out. Remember the same words were used by spenc in regard to the best interest of members and the union as a whole was compromised
