That was the message members took away from last Monday's bizarre meeting.
Last month, we reported
Review Office ("RO") Dennis Walsh, issued President Lawrence D'Errico, a notice of possible action, and is considering
vetoing D'Errico's employment as a council representative/President, allegedly for organized crime associations.
D'Errico, after receiving the notice, packed his personal belongings, left the council and no one has heard a word from him since, a source said.
Last week I
wrote that Vice President pro tem
Gerrry Gausman, is the new President of Local 157. Gausman was appointed Vice President pro tem in accordance with
Section 32 B of the UBC Constitution, by President pro tem
Mike Bilello, who was elected in accordance with
Section 32 D, at the March 21, meeting.
Since that time Gausman has been serving officially as the Vice President pro tem by attending executive committee meetings and meeting with
Chief Compliance Officer, John Ballantyne.
According to Conductor,
John Guerrero, Gausman was able to reach a compromise at a meeting with the executive committee, reducing the cost and security personal for local meetings from fifteen security guards to seven, Gausman wanted just one.
"The vice principle of the
school where we hold our
meeting met with Gausman and agreed that one security guard was suitable for the meeting,"
Donny Arana said.
On April 12, the RO, vetoed D'Errico’s employment and his services as President of Local 157.
