The short answer is, when they started to refuse to provide information to the membership such as JPLRC Minutes and Executive Board minutes.<\/p>\n

Cults cause people to be drawn into a belief system that causes them to behave like they never thought they would.<\/p>\n

That is exactly what happened to Local 23 President, Dean mcGrath.<\/p>\n

When Dean was a causal he filed grievances against the Union and was part of a lawsuit filed by 58 longshoremen who did not get registered in Tacoma.<\/p>\n

As a B-man, Dean filed more complaints than any other member of his registration class.<\/p>\n

Now that Dean is the President of Local 23, he is doing exactly what he had complained about being done to him, when he was not a member.<\/p>\n

Dean has been drawn into a belief system that is causing him to behave like he never though he would.<\/p>\n
