Cue-balls At The District CouncilIF it wasn't so tragic, it would be absolutely hilarious. Informed sources at the council are reporting two councils employees, John Thomassen and James O'Reily have shaved off the hair on their heads and removed all the hair from their bodies in order to avoid detection of drug use.
John Thomassen, who is the son of Peter Thomassen, the former district council president and current assistant supervisor, is alleged to have admitted to drug use after a drug test was ordered. It is not clear if the two men have been suspended or fired.
Since the arrest of Mike Forde and revelations of corruption and drug use, the district council has been placed under "emergency supervision." Vice President Frank Spencer, who has assumed supervision over the district council ordered drug testing for council employees.
"I find the whole situation disturbing and disheartening to learn about the shaving of heads" a carpenter said speaking on the condition of anonymity, "What the hell is going on at our council, we are completely in the dark."
Hair examination to detect drug abuse is fairly accurate and, in most cases, can trace banned agents that have been used up to a year.
There are no updates or information about this on the councils website.
Spencer who assumed supervision on August 10, said he "will keep the membership updated on a regular basis."
Since the posting of letters by McCarron and Spencer on the councils website, there has not been any "regular" updates on the supervision.

John Thoason aka The Claper all this piece of shit has to do is applaud his father on how he screws to memebers and he gets a raise and a new fully loaded jeep cherocee
ReplyDeleteTHey should at least take the Jeep away until it is proven that he is sober and off the drugs.
ReplyDeleteShameful that this is allowed to go on for years and years.
What is more to the point is that you can't sign your name
ReplyDelete3/4 of this union are on drugs. i would like to know who give the ok for all these cars & trucks, you think the union would want to save some money after we have been rob.
ReplyDeletei feel bad for the apprentices they have no future.the school sucks.eric anderson should go as well
ReplyDeleteThere have been accusations that suggest that our union has been infiltrated with people who
ReplyDeletedeveloped severe drug problems. Under normal circumstances addiction is a private and a personal issue.
What concerns me is that this appeared to be wide spread problem among NYCDCC leadership.
It suggests that our union was being run by people who had greater urgencies than fighting
contractor abuse, non-union work, or finding you a job.
If our leadership was under the influence on "our" time, we have a problem beyond just greed.
Can you imagine a better way to blackmail leaders of a large trade union? How about inability to
make decisions? How about being preoccupied with the next fix?
The list goes on in the many ways things that can go wrong.
I also think its telling by the drug of choice.
Cocaine is a party drug used by people with money. I can see young wall street traders on this shit, but a bunch of old office carpenters?
Maybe their $100,000+ salaries got to their heads?
This should give all of you INSIGHT to the how your union ran under the Forde Administration.
Of course there wasn't going to be a drug testing policy!!! It tells me that people in his inner circle
KNEW Forde was a full blown addict and partied till he was fired.
You should be asking, "What other rules were modified to fit the needs the administration?" Working long hard hours for the
sake of the members (to justify a $250,000 salary) doesn't appeared to have been his priority.
Theonly way I can see this not infuriating you, is if you benefited from having a dopey leader that allowed his friends to do whatever they wanted and you either have a job or worked alot hours because of it.
I feel like many people benefited from personally knowing that Forde had a problem. That's why his
addiction is not private or personal, he essentially put this union at risk for years and no one
cared to stopped it.
NEXT PHASE AT NYCDCC: Drug testing fall out
Who partiED?
Mike Forde (proven) fired
John Greaney (proven) fired
John Thomassen (according to 157 blogspot he shaved and waxed all body hair to avoid hair test)
James O'Reily (according to 157 blogspot he shaved and waxed all body hair to avoid hair test)
Who's Next?
Greaney has passed several drug tests including indictment. Didn't have to cut his hair or shave his balls. He did not fail therefore concluded HE IS NOT A DRUG ADDICT. No mandatory drug rehab. You have way too much time on your hands with ALL the posts. I assume that you are out of work and on the OWL list. It appears that you lost your balls somewhere along the way. It must be tough livin without your own pair. You're all dick head and we pretty much know who you are. Watch the step.
ReplyDeletewas Greaney high when he covered for drunky Firth? too high on viagra? who cares he is drug free NOW. too late.
ReplyDeleteHow is it Olaf Olsen ( nephew of Pete Thomasen) got a $12,000. raise and Andre Puertas ( I may have spelled it wrong) who is married to Petes niece ( who also works at the DC) got a $21,000. raise? Both seem to be hard working guys ( although self serving as all hell and secretive just like the rest of them) but who is worth that much of a raise at one clip? Andre was never even a Carpenter and he gets almost 2 grand a month more? Maybe Pete was just giving them a boost before Doug tosses him too, you know taking care of his own. By the way, can you guys link to the 2008 LM2?
ReplyDeleteI did my picket duty for Bloomberg the other day and would love to know when the guys who run that will be tested for drugs. arent they employees too? I asked and one of them said its coming for stewards and officers. I seen one of them in the bars alot and cmon, he has to be getting high. Anybody know who I mean, I dont know his name. Not ollie, help me out.
ReplyDeleteHere is the 2008 LM2 Report
ReplyDeletethanks for the lm2, but now I'm cheesed more than I was. Did anyone see that scum from 2287 who took 140,000 salary and then spent another 35000 of our money? I would love to know what the hell we bought him.
