After a very lengthy discussion and debate, delegates to the District Council voted tonight in favor of extending Review Officer (RO) Dennis Walsh term by 18 months.
The RO is an appointee of the United States District Court pursuant to a June 2010
federal court order. That order expires on December 3, 2012. Under the
order, the RO has the right to make a motion to extend his tenure under
the order by six months.
Some weeks ago, the United States Attorney asked the Benefit Funds and
the District Council to extend the tenure of the RO by 18 months. The
trustees of the Benefit Funds have informed the RO and the government
that they agree to such an extension.
Delegates hotly debated the issue and voted 45 to 29 in favor of extending the RO's term.
Below is a transcript of the address made to the delegate body by the RO.

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.
