...hey, it's Time to Play Guess the Case Murphy?<br /><br />The second question--whether..... deception violated ERISA imposed fiduciary obligations--calls for a brief, affirmative answer. ERISA requires a "fiduciary" to "discharge his duties with respect to a plan solely in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries." ERISA §404(a). To participate knowingly and significantly in deceiving a plan's beneficiaries in order to save the employer money at the beneficiaries' expense, is not to act "solely in the interest of the participants and beneficiaries." <br /><br />As other courts have held, "[l]ying is inconsistent with the duty of loyalty owed by all fiduciaries and codified in section 404(a)(1) of ERISA," ........ (duty of loyalty requires trustee to deal fairly and honestly with beneficiaries<br /><br /><br />Because the breach of this duty is sufficient to uphold the decision below, we need not reach the question of whether ERISA fiduciaries have any fiduciary duty to disclose truthful information on their own initiative, or in response to employee inquiries.<br /><br />[no citations when you play guess the case Murphy]Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359799014847114554.post-63720218150674874612013-03-25T11:09:53.916-04:002013-03-25T11:09:53.916-04:00Back in the day, it was 50/50 by contract.

Fiduciary responsibility of officers of labor organizations<br /><br />(a) Duties of officers; exculpatory provisions and resolutions void<br /><br />The officers, agents, shop stewards, and other representatives of a labor organization occupy positions of trust in relation to such organization and its members as a group. It is, therefore, the duty of each such person, taking into account the special problems and functions of a labor organization, to hold its money and property solely for the benefit of the organization and its members and to manage, invest, and expend the same in accordance with its constitution and bylaws and any resolutions of the governing bodies adopted thereunder, to refrain from dealing with such organization as an adverse party or in behalf of an adverse party in any matter connected with his duties and from holding or acquiring any pecuniary or personal interest which conflicts with the interests of such organization, and to account to the organization for any profit received by him in whatever capacity in connection with transactions conducted by him or under his direction on behalf of the organization. A general exculpatory provision in the constitution and bylaws of such a labor organization or a general exculpatory resolution of a governing body purporting to relieve any such person of liability for breach of the duties declared by this section shall be void as against public policy.<br /><br />(b) Violation of duties; action by member after refusal or failure by labor organization to commence proceedings; jurisdiction; leave of court; counsel fees and expenses<br /><br />When any officer, agent, shop steward, or representative of any labor organization is alleged to have violated the duties declared in subsection (a) of this section and the labor organization or its governing board or officers refuse or fail to sue or recover damages or secure an accounting or other appropriate relief within a reasonable time after being requested to do so by any member of the labor organization, such member may sue such officer, agent, shop steward, or representative in any district court of the United States or in any State court of competent jurisdiction to recover damages or secure an accounting or other appropriate relief for the benefit of the labor organization. No such proceeding shall be brought except upon leave of the court obtained upon verified application and for good cause shown, which application may be made ex parte. The trial judge may allot a reasonable part of the recovery in any action under this subsection to pay the fees of counsel prosecuting the suit at the instance of the member of the labor organization and to compensate such member for any expenses necessarily paid or incurred by him in connection with the litigation.<br /><br />(c) Embezzlement of assets; penalty<br /><br />Any person who embezzles, steals, or unlawfully and willfully abstracts or converts to his own use, or the use of another, any of the moneys, funds, securities, property, or other assets of a labor organization of which he is an officer, or by which he is employed, directly or indirectly, shall be fined not more than $10,000 or imprisoned for not more than five years, or both.<br /><br />District Council Bylaws SECTION 10: DUTIES OF THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY-TREASURER<br /> <br />(G) The Executive Secretary-Treasurer is specifically authorized to expend, in accordance with the procedures of these Bylaws and in compliance with 29 U.S.C § 501, funds for any or all of the purposes and objects of the Council, subject to the necessary disclosures and approval by the Delegate Body.<br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359799014847114554.post-2799950898869961422013-03-24T14:35:01.698-04:002013-03-24T14:35:01.698-04:00Mack has stated in a private meeting the USAO has ...Mack has stated in a private meeting the USAO has other things on his plate besides a 25 yr. consent decree case.

MURPHY: It was, as I understand -- it was before <br />13 my time -- it was semi negotiated, and it was imposed by Judge <br />14 Haight in his order of May 26, I believe it was, 2009. <br />15 THE COURT: How did he know to pick 33 percent versus <br />16 some other percent? It must have been a recommendation.<br />17 MR. MURPHY: There were negotiations and new contracts <br />18 entered into in the early 2000s without, as at least as I read <br />19 the record, the knowledge or the approval of the government, <br />20 and so the government brought a contempt proceeding because it <br />21 believed -- as it turned out from the Second Circuit, it was <br />22 correct -- that it was a violation of consent decree. Judge <br />23 Haight disagreed, the government appealed to the Second <br />24 Circuit, the Second Circuit agreed with the government, and it <br />25 was remanded back to Judge Haight, and he issued a final order <br /><br />SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C.(212) 805-0300 <br />Pg. 16 <br />16D2RTUSAC <br />1 in 2009 of judgment of contempt. <br />2 THE COURT: Which includes now the 33 percent?<br />3 MR. TORRANCE: Yes, your Honor, Ben Torrance for the <br />4 government. It was a litigated matter. As I recall it, Judge <br />5 Haight essentially reached a compromise as his contempt remedy <br />6 exercising the equitable power of court instead of 50/50 or <br />7 100 percent, he came to 67 percent. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359799014847114554.post-82472152763203360892013-03-23T23:09:37.474-04:002013-03-23T23:09:37.474-04:00AnonymousMarch 23, 2013 at 1:12 PM

In the process you have also besmirched all other DC Union Carpenter by attempting to portray them as subversives because they do not agree with the fallacy, myth & lies put forth by the International, the Bilello regime, the DC, Wall & Ceiling or the R.O. or by you in this classic non-response response.<br /><br />Your letter belongs in the trash heap of this 23-1/2 year Criminal RICO action and 19-year Consent Decree as it is obvious by your few appearances in Court (see the Transcripts) that you have no idea what the hell you are talking about and exactly zero comprehension of any prior rulings. When you attempt to explain them, as with the last Court Conference you got it all wrong as the record amply demonstrates.<br /><br />Accordingly, the court should grant no weight to this lame excuse for an intelligible response as you failed to address any of the core questions of fact or law presented within Mr. Schroeder's argument.<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359799014847114554.post-75440594987914103762013-03-23T22:18:37.374-04:002013-03-23T22:18:37.374-04:00Is this not the same behavior that landed Fred Dev...Is this not the same behavior that landed Fred Devine in jail,by "diverting funds" .
