We hear... THAT Joe Firth is calling for early elections in Local 608. Seems he and his supporters are not happy that Firth was fired and made a scrapegoat for violations of the job referral rules.
Firth is rumored to mount a challenge newly installed Martin Devereaux for local 608 president.
The November and December local 608 meetings had to be shut down and police called in to avoid a riot. Spencer and Devereaux sent the below letters to 608 members, in an effort to calm things down.

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.

The whole thing is a BIG JOKE and continue embarrassment for Spencer. When are the feds going after the 608 corrupt deadbeats? What this is about is a bunch of spoiled 608 BAs who had it good under Forde for years and now are turning against each other. Nothing noble about the situation.
ReplyDelete"<span style="">violations of the job referral rules"----??? </span>
<span style="">In addition to wrecking union car, refusing breathalyzer, losing driving license, had Greaney cover-up crash from district council (supposedly), continue driving union cars w/out license, risked making district council liable until the Forde gig was up. This man has some fucking balls. You get caught & FIRED for fucking union members and he then gathers a bunch of THUGS and calls for elections! Take a look at where your union is. </span>
Obviously he is pissed, he used to fuck around for years, got all his friends and family jobs, did shit and got paid over 100K/year. How do you think he feels having to go back on the tools. The worst part is that no present 608 officer is WORTH a squirt of piss to vote on. I wish Billy Davenport or Gene Clarke <span style="font-weight: normal;"> would run <span style="font-weight: normal;">and take the rug under their feet.</span></span>
OR , put this local under supervision and get rid of all of them!!! LONG OVERDUE!
screw him good riddance...the same should happen in all locals
