  2. I am curious. You promises for your slate say basically If you elect us we WILL do this or that when the fact is your election cannot achieve any of those things. Your not doing any of those things unless Walsh and Berman say so. You have been trying to get some of these things and have not achieved a single one. Many of these things your man Nee not only refused to help the rank and file fight for but declared the UBC and McCarron /Spencer had the right to do and he supported them.So now for the purposes of getting elected everyone should forget all that and Nee all of a sudden will fight with you to achieve these things which again if they do happen will be if Walsh and Berman says so and have nothing to do with your delegate slate. Since you man Nee is for destroying the local and feeding you to the Council,(dont make me post the hundreds of statements he has posted saying exactly that)was involved in the CC4d Scam up to his neck,tried to appoint Cary Kane as 157 attorneys before he was even sworn in as 157 President without consulting the members,lied as to Cary Kane being their attorneys during the last campaign,lied about a Biello IG investigation posted on this very site to discredit them during the 157 election,lied and mislead the members with Franco regarding Pro Tem Appointments by making constitutional interpretations that were pure bullshit,tried to take the credit for stopping the contract when it was Walsh who did so,has been in the Union for 5 years and since being Local 157 President has not done shit for 157.
    Beyond all this what will these delegates do for Local 157 or will they follow the Nee/McCarron Agenda and use their delegate votes to destroy Local 157???

  4. Rich, by stating, "lied and mislead the members with Franco regarding Pro Tem Appointments by making constitutional interpretations that were pure bullshit", not withstanding the other twistings in your tirade, I just need to get this straight. What you're stating is that I supposedly lied and misled members in addition to Nee, correct?

  5. To get it straight you claimed to be an expert on the Constitution regarding Pro tem appointments and spent your time, rather forcefully, insisting TOGETHER with your pal Nee that you were correct and everybody else was full of s... This is all posted on this site.
    The fact is you were wrong as is also documented on this site. The result of you "claiming" to know what you were talking about and your misinformation is also well documented concerning the series of 157 meetings some refereed to as "a circus" and some "a dog and pony show". You and your THEN pal Nee were directly responsible in my opinion. As it turns out my interpretation was correct and your was not your claims to be an expert were pure BS.

    "Having received an official answer from UBC General President Douglas J. McCarron, I can now declare Brother Richard Dorrough the official winner. Brother Dorrough's answers to the constitutional questions closely match General President McCarron's answers."I would not say you intentionally lied but it was more you and Nee were full of shit and tried to tell the members your interpretation was fact. This also includes your knowledge of Roberts Rules needed to run meetings as EST..Remember your little puffy chest assertion. "These are the facts and that is that"

    While I applaud your recent effort to gather and provide information to the members and always have you are hardly an expert on anything as you like to claim. I also say recent because despite your ego you have been gathering and collecting information and fighting the UBC for a short time compared to the others you claim to be smarter than. What a shame it would be for somebody who just "claims to be" knowledgeable winning EST instead of someone who actually has the knowledge. What a shame to have someone like you whose ego cant allow him to admit when he is full of shit so he may act for the members instead of insisting your correct and guiding the members in to a dog and pony show as you and your pal Nee did during the Pro Tem debacle.I really dont think all the sticking your head up Walshs ass in the world qualifys you for EST at this time but good luck.The only reason your even to be considered is Walshs vetoes. Is their any other part you dont understand. Oh yes. Triade this.
    This is my opinion which we are all entitled to.....

  6. Lest ask another question Franco and this is rumor and I am stating it as such.Sometimes rumor has a basis in fact so lets ask the source.The meeting of April 18th at 157. Before the meeting Gausman was stopped from running the meeting by Walsh who said he was NOT the Pro Tem Officer. As it turns out Walsh was full of shit.

    "Who is running this show? Can things get anymore confusing?

    Vice President pro tem Gerry Gausman, dressed in a suit and tie was fully prepared to open the meeting on April 18th, why was he stopped?

    Gausman was appointed Vice President pro tem in accordance with Section 32 B of the UBC Constitution, by President pro tem Mike Bilello, who was elected in accordance with Section 32 D, at the March 21, meeting."

    Do to interference by Walsh Gausman was pushed aside and the dog and pony show began for the next few meetings. Why would Walsh stick his nose in when in fact he was full of shit.

    So here is the rumor. The weekend before Walsh pulled that shit on Gausman did you or did you not exchange a series of emails with Walsh concerning Pro Tem appointees with you advising,explaining or discussing your(what turned out to be bullshit)interpretation of the UBC constitution on Pro Tem appointees

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.
