Boss Tweed and the Tammany Ring

Thomas Nast, the most prominent cartoonist of his era, targeted Tweed and his cronies, using a format understandable to recent immigrants and those who could not read.

    Your Federal Government dollars at work. Note: We did not make the distinction that the Fed's (USAO) was hard at work, because they are not.

    After 23+ Years of the Federal RICO Consent Decree, it is quite apparent that the U.S. Attorneys Office is wasting time & money monitering this site & Jawin; and, that it has not & will not produce any tangible results for rank & file union carpenters.

    Seems quite apparent that they are happy with the status-quo and that for all of the dog & pony shows in Federal Court, they will continue to refuse to prosecute ex-judge Conboy or Doug McCarron for violating your section 7 rights.

    The USAO has failed to review or expunge every illegal provision within the UBC Constitution or the NYCDCC By-laws which negate members federal rights and/or those which do not comply with known labor law precedent and Appellate & U.S. Supreme Court precedent.

    Monitering these sites is hardly an effective use of our Tax Dollars. In the real world...the dreaded private sector where results count, the USAO would be fired.

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.
