Which oath are you talking about Bobby?

The bullshit oath you all take not to discuss what happens in your secret union meetings?

What the problem is, Bobby?

Why are you running your mouth about “getting” the person who is taking to me?

Are you worried about your precious secrets getting out?

Bobby, there are no secrets on the waterfront. I have lots of friends who talk to me, they always have, and they always will.

You should be more worried about the fact that 50% of the members that signed the Recall Petition to recall Mark Williams, are not members in good standing.

50% of the members have outstanding fines or assessments and they were allowed to vote in the Fall Elections, but they were not allowed to sign a recall petition 1 month later, because they were not members in good standing.

You have the biggest case of election fraud in the history of unions, and you are worried about who talks to me.

You have 2 definitions of a member in good standing.

A member in good standing, for voting purposes, only has to have their dues paid up.

A member in good standing, for all other purposes including training, transfers, traveling, double out cards, and signing a recall petition, has to have their dues, fines and assessments paid up.

If you really wanted members to vote, you would simply mail them ballots, like my union SEIU 775 does.

You do not want all the members to vote, you only want a small group of members most of whom have unpaid fines and assessments to vote, because that is how you keep your clique in power.

Bobby, in order for an oath to have meaning you have to have integrity and honesty, and you have neither.

Stop ranting about who is talking to me, and start listening to what the people who are talking to me are saying.

Bobby, stop with the witch hunts, and clean up your act.

 

Jessie “Ungie” Lopez, Local 13 Casual Hall Dispatcher, claimed that Scrub was at the Casual Hall to visit some family members.

Right, he was there behind the glass handing out jobs, decked out in his knock off scab wear, so he could say hello to some of his family members.

How much of a kick back are you getting Jessie?

It must be a whole lot, because you seem to be willing to risk your Dispatcher job for it.

Jessie, you let Mondo use the microphone. At first you denied it, then you down played it, and finally you admitted it.

Big Bob ordered the Vice-President election to be re-run because Mondo broke the rule that says only Union Officers on official union business are allowed at the Casual Dispatch Hall.

Try and argue your “visiting family” excuse at your up coming Trial Committee hearing, see what it gets you.

You say clown like it’s bad thing.

Clowns make the world go round.

 

Looks like a $50,000 contribution to the Mayor of Long Beach bought Bobby O Jr. and Local 13, several citizen commissioner appointments.

Bobby O Jr., called the Mayor of Long Beach and requested some longshoremen be appointed to some of the City’s commissions, and presto the Mayor’s Office requests a list of names from the President of ILWU Local 13.

According to the email sent from Mayor Robert Garcia to Devin Cotter, Local 13 Secretary/Treasurer Mark Williams is being appointed to the Pacific Gateway Workforce Investment Board apparently to represent labor as a representative of ILWU Local 13 and allegedly as a Delegate with the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor.

Problem is that the ILWU is not part of the Los Angeles County Federation of Labor, and Mark Williams is not now and has never served as their Delegate.

The memo fails to mention that Mark Williams is under investigation by the DOL for filing false and misleading LM-2 reports and is in the middle of being recalled for his venomous sexually harassing attack against one of the female members of Local 13’s Executive Board at recent meeting. The secretaries at Local 13 refer to themselves as the Battered Wife’s Club, because of the way Mark treats them in the office.

Mark Williams is a pathetic abuser, who would not know the truth if it hit him between the eyes. He will not make a very good representative for the City.

Hopefully the Mayor will consider this before the 5pm meeting tonight.

Jerry Avila, Local 13 Health Benefits Officer, has already been appointed, and is due to be sworn in at 5pm tonight .

Jerry is under investigation by the DOL and the FBI for insurance fraud allegedly related to kick backs and activity related to a medical facility he owned that did business as Harbor View Medical Group.

Who vets the Mayor’s appointments?

 

What are Bobby O Jr.’s buddies up to at the Casual Dispatch Hall?

Jessie “Ungie” Lopez, the Casual Dispatcher, is letting Jerry “Scrub” Sanchez participate in dispatching and allowing him to pass out jobs.

Jessie knows better. Jessie knows that Big Bob just ruled; “It is without dispute that Local 13 has a rule that only union officers on official union business are permitted at the Casual Dispatch Hall.”

Is Jessie getting a kick back from “Scrub” selling his scab wear knock off Local 13 hats and shirts out of the Casual Dispatch Hall?

Scrub has no reason, other than to sell his scab wear, to be at the Casual Dispatch Hall.

It would not surprise me at all to find that Bobby O Jr. is getting a kick back from his buddy Scrub’s Local 13 scab wear.

Knock it off boys, before you get in big trouble.

 

The latest buzz on Jerry Avila, Local 13 Health Benefits Officer, is that he was part owner of a Chiropractic Clinic in San Pedro called Harbor View Medical Group, but he shut it down after his wife found out about his girlfriend’s boob job and tummy tuck.

People reading about Jerry are starting to come forward with stories about his strong arm tactics related to his chiropractic business. Juicy stories that can’t be told quite yet, but will come out soon.

There are other longshoremen who own chiropractic clinics, but they are not Health Benefits Officers and as far as we know did not strong arm other clinics.

That may change as we heard that chiropractic was eliminated in the new Benefits Agreement based on the amount of fraud under the old Agreement.

What you going to do, when they come for you, Jerry?

 

The buzz on the waterfront today is that Jerry Avila, Local 13 Health Benefits Officer, gave his wife’s ID to his girlfriend and used his contacts in the Medical community to get her a boob job and tummy tuck.

Apparently his wife found out and turned him in for medical fraud, on her way out the door.

Do you think your buddy Bobby O can get you out of this one?

If not maybe he will call Pasha and have you added to the payroll?

There are no secrets on the waterfront.

 

At last night’s Executive Board meeting, after Vivian’s husband left the drama queens came out in full regalia.

Vivian presented a letter under new business, addressing her concerns related to the way the E-Board does business in general and her concerns related to her treatment by Mark Williams at the last meeting.

That’s when the fur started to fly.

Sunshine started crying while claiming that Vivian was ruining the union and being selfish and self centered. Then as if on cue, Melody “Melon” broke out in tears and claimed Vivian is trying to get ahead by taking out the “fine” Secretary/Treasurer, and Julie Brady added her tears to the bucket, crying and complaining that it is so hard to be neutral, while watching Vivian ruin the status quo in the good old boy’s club.

Scotty Walker got so worked up he started strutting around swinging his man purse while complaining that Vivian took the union’s business to the internet and the E-Board is going to file charges against her because of the Facebook and website postings related to Mark’s “passionate” sexual harassment.

Classic abuser behavior of blaming the victim, then claiming to the be the victim themselves, combined with tears and personal attacks.

The funny thing is, the dumb shits think their pathetic tactics will work.

Ask Bobby “Kardashian” to see his Facebook posts from the night of the last Union meeting, in the bar at 1am with his girlfriend. Real Presidential Bobby. Bobbyphoto.php

Not this time boys. There is no crying at Executive Board meetings.

Go Vivian, go……

Sign the petition, if you have not.
