On Monday October 18, Larry Cary, of the law firm of Cary Kane LLP, filed an Order to Show Cause for Preliminary Injunction,
before United States District Judge Richard M. Berman, ordering that
Review Officer Dennis Walsh (RO), show cause in writing why an order should not be issued reversing the RO's decision to disqualify Michael Ciechorski, Kevin Corrigan, John
DeFalco, Shawn Eichorn, George LaMontagne, Charles Lucas, Tommy McGonnigle and Bill Walsh, from their candidacy for office and restoring their names to the ballot in the upcoming December 15, 2011 District Council election.
The complaint filed by Cary, argues that the candidates were vetoed for various "arbitrary and capricious" reasons and that the RO exceeded his authority under the June 3, Stipulation and Order and is "reviewable by the court."
In the RO's response he argues that he properly exercised his authority under paragraph 5.k.iv of the Stipulation and Order and his decisions not to approve the above named candidates should be upheld by the court.
Below is the RO's response to the Courts Order.

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.

I am curious since it was sideways and hard to read. Did a candidate get vetoed because he did not agree with the UBC rat bastard who dissolved another local without the consent of and against the will of its membership??
ReplyDeleteYes Richard, he was vetoed for opposing the merger
