Judge Conboy states: “Although these efforts have successfully broken the cycle of murders, beatings, disappearances, and violence that plagued the District Council before the imposition of the Consent Decree, they have not yet been able to stamp out corruption, racketeering and Benefit Fund abuses.” <br /><br />The members & your honor should note the ‘emphasis’ on murder – as the first reminder of what can and does occur; and, that there is an intent here, duly imparted to the UBC rank & file members conscious mind which stands contrary to the fraudulent claims of apathy made by the IRO.<br />_____________<br />The report cited above by Judge Conboy put the emphasis on the lower crimes first...beatings, stabbings, disappearances and finally Murder...he, being the ex-judge flipped it around & put the emphasis on "murder" first.<br /><br />H'mmm- now why do you suppose an upstanding lawyer, former federal judge, former IRO under the Consent Decree & now Doug's no. 1 Pitchman would state it in this fashion?<br /><br />Could it be that he himself has been around the criminal element for far too long? It surely seems that way! Why else do you intentionally put the emphasis on "murder" first? Trying to make a point your honor? Trying to initimidate the rank & file with a veiled threat? Again, one has to one wonder.<br /><br />In the end, it always comes down to the "Money Trail". The DC & the Benefit Funds have been easy pickings for 22+ years, however, it is high time you left the piggy trough and either retire or go do something else before you end up before the state bar association.<br /><br />When McCarron leaves on the 11th of Janaury, you need to follow. Take the easy way out and leave quietly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359799014847114554.post-36513881743766654082011-12-16T18:56:21.673-05:002011-12-16T18:56:21.673-05:00NYCDCC VACATION FUND FY ending 6-30-07

He was brought up on charges and, in essence, turned into a poster boy for the authority of the Forde regime. He was convicted, he was heavily fined, and he was expelled from the union." <br />_____________________<br /><br />This excerpt statement by RO Walsh from the November 7th Court Conference needs to be formally corrected for the record, via the forwardng of the LMRDA lawsuit filed by Mr. Brennan's attorney to Federal Judge Richard Berman.<br /><br />The statements above, albeit off the cuff, lead you to believe that Brian Brennan was arrested and convicted in a criminal Court of Law. He was not!<br /><br />He was "convicted" on trumped up Internal Union charges by a corrupt Forde regime on false allegations & charges filed by Thomassen and convicted by a Kangaroo Court within the UBCJA & the NYCDCC.<br /><br />The DC's camera's proved that Mr. Brennan was the one who was attacked.<br /><br />Michael J. Forde has since been indicted, convicted and sentenced to 11-years, 3-months in Club Fed. Thomassen has since resigned in disgrace prior to be being indicted himself.<br /><br />Mr. Brennan was made the "Poster Boy" to be used as an example to coerce and intimidate all other rank & file members, to demonstrate the ironclad grip of Mob control and the kind of beat-down you could expect to recieve for exercsing your right to Free Speech and your right to refrain from "any & all activities" in direct violation of NLRA Section 7 rights guaranteed as a matter of Federal Law per the LMRDA of 1959.<br /><br />All of this took place under the Federal Courts direct supervision imposed by the Consent Decree. Instead of the USAO's Office launching an investigation, they allowed Doug McCarron & Forde to feign clean hands, continue to extort money from member's Vacation Wages and the USAO's office ignored the obvious under the false claim that this was "Internal Union Rules" and not within their direct control.<br /><br />Section 7 is labor law 101. The extortion of funds direct from members Vacation Pay was readily apparent, and until this suit, all parties looked the other way, while the International & DC was allowed to extort tens of millions of dollars from members paychecks, all of it in direct contravention to settled law.<br /><br />Use of the U.S. Mail & the wires, in crossing state lines is a predicate to Federal Racketeering charges under the RICO statutes. Charges should be filed accordingly and the USAO & FBI should serve the indictments on the UBCJA's International Officers and Executive Baord members who contrived the scheme and those who have furthered it for the past 13+ years...no more, no less.<br /><br />McCarron plans on greasing the wheels a bit more at the DOL, through Politicians long bought off and through the alleged Labor Board itself; and shall soon move to increase the Fine to $1,000.00 per year, per man/woman and could soon be raking in some $512M per year.<br /><br />Apparently, if you are on the receiving end of the bribes & kick-backs, it's all good, it's all legal - trust us your honor.<br /><br />The law proves otherwise. High time the USAO did something about it. Never mind the lame brianed 4-corner argument from Judge Haight.<br /><br />That doesn't pass muster with longstanding and yet over-turned U.S. Supreme Court precedent which moots his legal theory and his ruling in its entirety.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3359799014847114554.post-18723376942028120152011-12-05T01:17:51.599-05:002011-12-05T01:17:51.599-05:00There was a demonstration a couple years ago, whic...There was a demonstration a couple years ago, which was well-attended, which did get out of hand and led to the arrest of one of the members who did jump up on the security desk.
