RO's Petition to Judge Berman to Enforce Recommendations

On September 16, 2013 Review Officer Dennis Walsh petitioned the Court requiring the District Council to "Implement Updated Business and IT Operations Plan." The upgrade was previously rejected by the Executive Committee and Delegate Body.

Judge Richard Berman has scheduled a hearing for September 30, 2013 at 11 a.m. on the RO's petition to enforce his recommendations regarding upgrading the DC’s IT platform and business practices.

  1. Dennis Walsh is drunk with power and money now he is dictating policy to the NYCDCC. Time for the little despot to go.

  2. Isnt it ironic that Walsh is overruling democracy to get what he wants. Ask yourself what real buisness experience this man has. Consider that most of his work is as a civil servant and forced referral from the DOJ.He doesnt have to truly earn a living becase he is forced on the membership by a federal judge. He didnt care that half the CBAs were presented to the membership before the vote by delegates and the other half were rammed through with out review from the membership.He didnt cry once for that cause hes a super buisnessman here to provide the contractors a better profit margin at our expense.His lack of law enforcement is very alarming,for example Mike Billelo was vetoed for an illegal alottment but Mike Cavanaugh and Phil Guidice are still here to further commit criminal acts against the memberships money and well being. All the while a federal judge continues to grant a man with severe judgment flaws the right of total control over people he wont listen to or serve their needs.Is that the democracy your crying about Mr. Walsh.

  4. The possibility of differences in view between the RO and the DC concerning union priorities was expressly contemplated by the Order, which established a mechanism for ironing out agenda-setting problems before the Court, on notice to all parties. The RO has improperly ignored that process in favor of a veto. In addition, the RO should not be permitted to veto an elected DC Officer simply because the RO, if he were an officer, might have prioritized the DC's work differently. Otherwise, the mission of the RO under the Order to monitor the District Council would be converted into one of direct management of the union. That is not the purpose of the Order.

    1. Guessing this wasn't upheld, "AGAIN"!!

      The DC had nothing produced, no doubt willingly, and the RO has to get it done by motioning to Berman.

      How detailed was the presentation prior to voting the expenditures down.

      There was nothing of this given to the CDB prior to the vote. The members hadn't been considered important enough.

    2. The Council actually did their best to attempt to work with Walsh, but there was no pleasing him. Walsh wanted a Stip and Order to go along with his Democracy busting IT plan and would settle for no less. The Delegates said no, with no budget in the Review Officers Plan, and the plan required that all decisions needed to be approved by the Review Officer, not reviewed, and with visions of the past spending sprees with our money by the Review Officer (think $160,000 to rent the javits for his rigged bilello election for the 80 members who showed up) the delegates said no.

  6. I heard RO Walsh said the tech upgrade would cost $1.5 to $2 million to get running. THE DELEGATES DID THE RIGHT THING BY REJECTING THIS OPEN CHECK BOOK!!!!!!!

    1. RO is right to protect the members money. But what about letting McInnis preside over these contracts and critcak issues when the ro knows hes unfit to lead. Nobody can have it both ways. You cant say hes no good but continue to let him make financiak decisions. If McInnis is unfit then why is James Noonan unfit hes a good man seemingly honest and good hearted at least he would try to benefit the members unlike McInnis who never workd a day in his life as a real field carpenter. He did get his job from Micheal Fraud so that says a lot about his motivation.

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.
