"Thank you for your email. I am dedicated to open and honest communications within this Council. In response to members inquiries, including your e-mail, regarding the 60 day hold I have posted a message on the New York City District Council of Carpenters website." -- Frank Spencer, Supervisor NYCDC, July 15, 2010
Interesting Spencer says that in June "your representatives through a majority vote, did enact a 60 day hold on the scheduled raise."
More Questions:
- Since we are under supervision, UBC supervisors are the only people empowered to oversee and conduct the affairs of the district council, who are these so-called "representatives" that voted?
- Why did these so-called representatives not tell the membership anything about this vote?
- Why weren't stewards told of this vote when they go to the council weekly?
- Why after telephone calls to the council and business agents on July 1, no-one knew anything about the 60 day hold?
- What section of the Collective Bargaining Agreement provides provisions for altering a CBA in effect, through a majority vote of "your representatives?"
This is a flat out lie the delegates never voted on a wage freeze and was never even discussed at the june delegate meeting.
ReplyDeleteDelegate's never voted on the freeze(the so called board of trusties voted on it hm mm i wonder who that consists of).The asst.supervisor reminded us last night that we as a delegate body have no voting power.So with that being said every trail that has come before the so called delegate's this year should be in-fact overturned regardless where the brother/sister was found guilty!!!
ReplyDeleteFUNNY HOW THERE WAS NO PROBLEM RENEWING THE LOCAL 3 ELECTRICIANS CONTRACT WITH A RAISE IN SALARY & BENEFITS.WHY THE HELL ARE THE CARPENTERS THE TARGETB OF ALL THIS BULLSHIT CUT TALK?TIME TO STRIKE THESE BASTARDS.
ReplyDeleteIf Spencer and the UBC really wanted to "work towards a long term solution to this economic crisis," they can start by lobbying state and federal officials to cut taxes, spending and deficits and easing government regulations -- and returning money to the private sector, rather than helping to push bills that destabilize the economy.
