How Many will Benefit?

I read in the Chief that VP Maurice Jenkins is pushing for the Rank and File to give up $10 bi-weekly in support of healthcare (COBRA) for those laid off.


Chairman from other departments are pushing that we support the $10 bi-weekly donation.

The Exec. Board voted to bring this to the membership for a vote. Everyone elected is voicing that this should be passed.



I find it odd that they are leaving out a KEY fact. You must be in Good Standing to benefit from this. Of the 266 members laid off in Station, the Div. Chair stated at June's Div. Meeting that over 100 of them were in bad standing.

What are the numbers in other departments?

HOW MANY WILL BENEFIT from this fund that’s being set up, or should we ask WHO WILL BENEFIT from this?



According to the Constitution only those in good standing can benefit from the $10 contributed by all of the members (good and bad standing).



Before you vote on this, they need to inform us of:

How many will be benefit from this?

Approx. how much will be collected?

Who will be in charge of this fund?



Oh, it was also quoted that this only amounts to lunch for a week. Can someone please tell me who spends only $10 a week on lunch?



Skeptical Dues paying member

John and Tony Rob the members

   I had heard that the Samuelsen / Utano gang was planning to raise the dues by $5.00 over each pay period but I was wrong! It’s even worse than that!


   The Samuelsen Utano gang is planning to increase the bi- weekly dues by $10.00!

   That’s $20.00 more per month that those of us who are still working will have to pay.

   These thieves have no shame - First they let members get laid off and then they rob the ones that are still left!

   I wonder if Izzy Rivera, who is supposed to be the number 2, the money man, was even consulted about this - probably not.

   Like everything else this was probably a scheme cooked up by Samuelsen and Utano alone.



     Stop these crooks!   Stop the dues increase!   Call the Police, FBI, or whoever will help!

John Gets Bashed Again

   Someone recently came up with a great idea for a cartoon that sums up the reality of what is going down at TWU Local 100. I wish I had the skill to draw it up but I don't - maybe somebody who can draw can produce it and get it around widely. Anyway please forward this message to as many of your contacts as possible!

Frame 1: Samuelsen and Walder are facing each other. Samulsen has a hammer on his shoulder Walder says, "Hand me that hammer John."

Frame 2: Walder takes the hammer and uses it to bash Samulsen over the head. Birds, stars etc. fly around Samusen's head.

Frame 3: Walder hands the hammer back to Samulsen and says, "Hold this for me until I need it again John."

Where's the Compassion?

An email was sent out that a Hotline was setup for those who are laid off to call for updates. They call it the Help Desk. This is supposed to be in place for you to get a compassionate human being to answer your questions/concerns.


That is if you anyone answers the phone, which they don’t, I know because I have called it.

The person answering the Hotline extension is Sabrina Greenwood.

She is a reclassified Station Supervisor who wrote up Brothers and Sisters in the Station Department. She was sent back because an Agent wrote her up.

At the Special Meetings for those facing layoffs and at the Station Div. Meetings she is very rude and nasty. She still has that management way of dealing with us.

Samuelsen, you were at that Special Meeting when she got into the verbal fight with a member facing lay off. It would have been physical had security not stepped in.

You need to look into getting someone else for that job.

Members in Station Department are outraged about your choice.
