MFC stands behind the principle that the only form of governance to lead this local and
union into the future is by democratic rule by the members. See our Platform.
Through your participation, we will return this local to democratic rule, to do the vital work of a union.
| An important aspect of democratic rule, are elections by secret ballot with adequate safeguards to ensure your vote is kept secret to preclude intimidation, coercion and retaliation and election rigging by elected leaders. Federal law mandates fair and democratic union elections. These laws are primarily directed at the advantage incumbents have over challengers, the incumbent make the rules. The law also guards against election rigging. On behalf of the members of this local, MFC has waged a war with the Local and Union over the years to bring this local into compliance with the CWA Constitution and federal law. See War Zone. MFC has requested the Union appoint a temporary administration to conduct the business of this local until it is restored to democratic rule by the members and to oversee the election of officers by a third party vendor. Members are put on notice that there is no adequate safeguards of maintaining the secrecy of your vote or to stop election rigging by the in-house election process conducted by the Roeder Administration. This administration has the advantage of knowing which member voted and which member didn’t to possibly stuff the ballot with those votes, votes of non-members, deceased members, etc. We cannot be sure, only by allowing the election to be conducted by a third party vendor can we be sure. Notwithstanding a pending lawsuit and complaints before the union, the Roeder Administration, who are as crooked as a dog's hind legs, continues the madcap of denying members a fair and democratic election. Did the Roeder Administration jump the gun by single- handedly filing a federal lawsuit on behalf of this local prior to collective action by other public employee unions statewide? Was it a desperate election campaigning ploy? Short Answer: Yes and Yes: Unions Joining Forces To Counter Christie this week will file a unified lawsuit, noting that “a cohesive fight could work in the unions' favor, said Ellen Dannin, a labor and employment law professor at Penn State Law. A poorly argued suit by a single local could have set bad precedent for all other groups, she said.” Also see MFC’s Be Careful What You Wish For . We surmise the suit will be filed in state court. Roeder claims the Union has issued an ultimatum, drop the lawsuit or the local's charter will be revoked. Since whatever Roeder says must be confirmed, we contacted the union for confirmation. No answer to date. Neither has Roeder withdrawn the lawsuit. The madcap continues. Members are now required to put the last four digits of their social security numbers on a candidate’s petition. The only notice to members, when they see this requirement on the petition that requires the candidate to explain the madcap. The Roeder team can tell the members don’t worry about it and they can put the number in themselves from the records at the local. The Challengers cannot. The purpose is clear, eliminate the competition. Members should exercise their rights to protest these actions by calling the Madcap Roeder Regime at 609-394-7725 and demand: this election be conducted by a third party vendor and removing the requirement of social security numbers on candidates' petitions. On behalf of this membership, MFC will add to a filed federal lawsuit to force the Union and Local, through a court order to comply with the provisions of our union constitution and federal law to restore democratic rule by the members and conduct fair and democratic elections. MFC also will seek to stop the expending of members’ dues to defend the illegal activities of Union and Local leaders because of a conflict of interest. Union attorneys are paid to protect the interest of members and not the actions of so-called leaders who fail to perform their fiduciary duties as spelled out in the constitution. PARTICIPATE BY VOTING FOR LEADERSHIP THAT WILL MAKE A DIFFERENCE. A LEADERSHIP THAT WILL SPEAK SOFTLY, BUT CARRY A BIG STICK STAY TUNED FOR MORE OF THE ROEDER ADMINISTRATION'S MADCAP MAYHEM STRUGGLE TO REMAIN IN POWER HOPEFULLY WE WILL BE ABLE TO REPORT THE OUSTER OF THIS ADMINISTRATION BY THE UNION |
