(John's Note: Why no mention of D'Errico)

  1. Great, now we have yet another yokel that does not understand the industry - but he is going to be in charge. Hopefully, he does clean things up a bit.

    re not mentioning D-Errico - that is law - they cannot mention why D-Errico is no longer employes, otherwise he would be able to sue the NYCDC. It is common practice. He left so that he could spend more time with his family.

  5. Who found walter Mathews? Why wasnt the position available to members? I dont think a stranger will understand our need. He never swung a hammer, or froze on a highrize in the dead of winter. Does he know what it is like to work your ass off, yet be laid off anyway?

    He has qualifications in human resources and creative writing. Were these mentioned when this job was advertised. Did he have to go through the three ring circus that our brothers and sisters are going through to become organizer. Something smells funny here. There is no mentioned of how he came to have this job. Reason of deduction would say, he's a Spencer crony, jersey and new jersey. maybe he's the man that will make sure full mobility gets through with his creative writing. Fellas,this guy we have to keep our eyes on. God Bless OUR UNION!

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.
