On Monday October 24, Local 157 will conduct an election for (48) Delegates to the NYC District Council and
one (1) Executive Committee member.
Elections will be held at the New York City
District Council of Carpenters Labor Technical College, 395 Hudson Street, from 6:00 a.m through 7:00 p.m, a regular scheduled meeting will
follow.
There are (6) independent candidates and three slates of candidates running in the election.
The new delegates will serve for a term of 20 months and approve the upcoming collective bargaining agreement, which most likely will include the UBC's highly controversial full mobility proposal or contractors' insistence on the right to hire 100% of carpenters they choose.
On Wednesday, September 14, delegates to the council voted and approved a Cement League "Memorandum of Understanding" (MOU) by a vote of 45 to 18 and voted and approve a Wall-Ceiling MOU by a vote of 35-28 (the Wall-Ceiling MOU is contingent on full mobility, presently, as per a federal judge's order, contractors must hire a third of their workers through the union's out-of-work-list).
Full mobility is a big political issue with the membership. The Carpenters United NYC Slate does not mention full mobility in their campaign material and their position remains unclear. Candidates on the Carpenters Alliance Slate support full mobility and have voted in favor of the proposal. The Members Voice Slate is opposed to full mobility and your elected executive board has unanimously voted against the proposal in the delegate body.

ReplyDeleteThat pretty lame you can findout the names
ReplyDeleteOf 48 names for each slate but you can't findout the
5 independent names and put them on your
Posting here on your site come on John put
Up the names of the independents or have they got to you too telling you how to run your site I hope to see those
Names posted in all fairness and as soon as possible it seems you are letting these slates advertise on your site but you are not giving the independents a fair shake please do the fight thing thanks
I found out the names of the independent candidates and included them.
ReplyDeleteOnce again Johhny Moose and his biased reporting why didnt you tell the members the truth that the members voice slate only heeds to the voice of Joe Firth and has many vetoed candidates for the NYCDCC officer election as well as some Mcarron supporters like yourself
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous you said...Once again Johnny Moose and his biased reporting. Please explain how what I wrote is bias?
ReplyDeleteAlso I reported all the candidates that Review Officer Dennis Walsh vetoed in the NYCDC officer election. Joe Firth is not a candidate for delegate on the Members Voice Slate.
The one who is bias is you with your anonymous post.
John, I think part of what anonymous is referring to is your descriptions of the slates: one is described as being comprised of losers, the other is the district council status quo; but the slate you are part of manages to stand on its own name alone, with no attempt by you to describe it at all, let alone refer to its shortcomings. Try this: The 608 heavy slate, including Pat Nee's 157 executive board, and the most number of vetoed candidates for District Council Officer elections.
ReplyDeleteTo Anonymous: I wrote the slates include candidates who previously lost the June 22, candidates who are paid council employees, and candidates on the current elected local 157 executive board. This description is accurate.
ReplyDeleteI never thought I would see that many hard headed, stubborn people in one place. GIVE EM HELL, lets put NYC carpenters back where they belong.
