Hello Members of Local 1033:

We promised democracy at the membership meeting on March 26.  What you witnessed was a
tyrannic abuse of power and authority by Roeder.  Roeder's version of democracy---"I have the
gavel."  This magical gavel does Jedi Mind Tricks,  makes you see democracy in action.  Roeder's
mind-control only affects a small percentage who believe the pathological lies, rather than their own
lying eyes and ears. Or, is it because they are on the payroll?

Roeder takes 15 minutes to lay out her position with witnesses. Plants a puppet (member who work
after-hours at the Local) to make a motion to give us 5 minutes rebuttal time. On cue, 30 to 35
puppet strings are pulled by Roeder and the marionettes, in unison, vote to give me only five (5)
minutes. Roeder and puppets constantly interrupt my presentation and finally vote to accept the final
election cert.  

MISSION STATEMENT: We have a long way to go, but we make this vow. When we, not if we,  
depose Roeder and her minions,  we will bring DEMOCRACY TO THIS LOCAL. Roeder being the
easiest hurdle in our mission to practice UNIONISM to the fullest extent, ensuring workers'  
constitutionally guaranteed life, liberty, justice and the pursuit of happiness.

Yes! We dared to go into Roeder's backyard and she handily won that round. Or did she? STAY
TUNED FOR  THE NEXT ROUND.  SEE ELECTION ALERT BELOW.

                                               ELECTION ALERT
   


As a result of Rae Roeder’s refusal to allow the Election Appeal to be heard at the March 26 General Membership
Meeting, both the Election Appeal and Collateral Complaints will now go to the Office of the Vice President, Christopher
Shelton, for review and resolution.

To help with the investigation and resolution of these matters and to provide relief for members who are aggrieved by
Roeder, the Members For Change ask that you do the following:

1.  Election experiences:  if, when, where and how you were contacted about voting;
2.  Whether you have been threatened, denied representation, had your employer called or experienced any
other form of reprisal or retaliation by Rae Roeder or her staff.

These instances should be immediately reported without fear of reprisal to:

Chris Shelton, Vice-President CWA District 1: http://district1.cwa-union.org/contact.html   or Phone: 212-344-2515; or

Hetty Rosenstein, CWA NJ Area Director:  http://www.cwanj.org/contact-us.html

CLICK THE LINKS BELOW FOR APPEAL AND COMPLAINTS
Election Committee Appeal

Members are asked to review election violations and to determine whether the recent election should be overturned and rerun with
safeguards in place.  Safeguards will ensure a transparent and fair election, with no question about the results.

Complaint 2 Coia and Caffey

This complaint references the excessive salaries paid these two individuals and the Roeder Administration's refusal to clarify their titles, duties and
specific wages including overtime.

Members are asked to vote to direct the  Roeder Administration to justify and make known the duties reveal and justify the  duties and
salaries of these individuals and further, to dismiss Coia from employment with this Local because of a legal conflict and basic
appearance of the inappropriateness of the arrangement.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Complaint 4 - An Interactive Website

This complaint references the failure of this administration to bring this Local into the 21st century. Use of the Employer's e-mail was negotiated in the
contract, Side Letter of Agreement #29.  According to Anthony Miskowski, Secretary of Local 1033, it is "the philosophy and the directives of the Local
President prohibiting the practice of transacting business via the Internet."

Members are asked to vote to overrule the Roeder Administration and direct installation of an interactive web presence to bring this
Local into the 21st century.

Complaint 6 - Election Appeal to the Membership

Members are asked to review and vote on  whether the election process should be taken out of the hands of the Roeder
Administration and instead have a third party company conduct a transparent and fair election, so there are no questions about the
result.  
_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Complaint 3 Disclosure of Expenditures
                     
This complaint references the right and privilege of members to know how their dues money are being spent.

The Roeder Administration has refused to provide the membership with specific salaries and expenditures of this Local beyond the generic monthly
and annual financial statements and audits.

All Locals produce financial statements and audits. However, Locals  under the federal law must also complete a detailed LM-2 form that accounts for
all expenditures. (Click on LM-2 link and type any other Local 1034, 1040, etc. and review their reporting requirements).

The Membership are asked to vote to overrule the Roeder Administration and to appoint our own members with accounting
backgrounds to review the Local's books and report back to the membership.

The members for change team nominates Joseph Golowski to lead and put together an auditing team.

In the event the Roeder team fails to  cooperate or interferes with the investigation, the member auditing team should be empowered
to call for an emergency membership for issuance of an order for their immediate suspension from office, pending completion of the
financial review.

Complaint 1 Local Standing Committees

This complaint references the Roeder Administration's failure to comply with the CWA Constitution and Local By-Laws to install Standing Committees.
These committees maintain the democratic process and provide the membership with real opportunities to participate in the governance of this of this
Local.
Members are asked to vote to overrule and direct the Roeder Administration to install  Standing Committees.
______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Complaint 5 - Status of the VP

This complaint references the absence of  the elected Vice-President, Diane Spence-Brown from the full time position of representing the members of
this local. Members are asked to vote to suspend the VP, since she is not functioning in her elected capacity, pending the conclusion of
the review of the Local's financial records.
