  1. More F¥CKING lawyers! More scratch !

    There goes the reduced cost of administering the funds, plus a whole lot more.

    Although separate entities it goes in one of your pockets and is quickly withdrawn from the other.

    How come we never needed to pay a lawyer to do these tasks over the last 14 years? Wouldn't this be the job of a capable PAC director and his staff? Steve McInnis created this position back in 2000 and didn't have a clue what it was about. He learned on the job and built the position into what it is today. He was given his marching orders by the Forde regime and has been working at it for many years, 13 if my math is correct. Too many lawyers and politicians taking members hard earned money and our leaders willing to just give it away. Give the members back their full benefits and stop the crap!

  4. We always had thieves too. What the hell is going on? First priority should be full benefits for the retiree's that earned them! Someone has got to demand accountability for all funds. Don't let non members control our money. Don't you people see the political sham of waste of our money, right in front of your face? We don't need or want another Lawyer allocating OUR money! This is a waste and you know it.

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.
