Demand Roeder Tell Us How She Spent $4.1 million dollars

Posted in Uncategorized by Administrator on the July 12th, 2008

Members have a right and privilege to know how their dues money is being spent, based on basic democratic principles. But Roeder refuses to share this information, ignoring request for this information. Incredibly, Roeder goes into her two bit politician mode, avoiding the issue and downplaying the 2005, 2006 and 2007 Audit Reports:

Roeder lied that she spent $526,650.00 in three years building this local membership by organizing unorganized workers. She didn’t.

In three years Roeder spent $ 612,1623.00 of the contingency fund, money that was to be used for emergencies. $5000 is left in the fund. What did she spend it on? Fighting for your Pension? What about all the other issues facing this Local?

$3 Million Dollars was spent on salaries in three years. Roeder refuse to say who was paid what. She pays Sandy Coia, a former state employed charged with stealing, over $70,0000. Almost twice what she was willing to pay the second highest officer, The Executive V.P., Diane Spence-Brown. She’s paid more than the staff representatives. Why the disparate pay? What does Coia do?

The members have a right to know! Test the democratic principles of the Roeder Administration. CALL THE LOCAL AT 394-7725. ASK ROEDER WHERE’S THE MONEY? And if she hangs up on you or doesn’t get back to you, post it here.
