Local 130 members voted to build a parking garage, so they would have a place to park for union meetings and functions. With around 500 spots the members have ample parking. Construction costs exceeded the 30 million dollar mark with a final price tag of around $32,000,000. Members were never notified about the escalated costs or the total cost. Why? According to the LM2 filed for the period covering 7/01/2022 through 6/30/23, Schedule 18 - General Overhead, the members paid $2,368,492 in INTEREST AND GENERAL ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS alone! Now the members must pay for the financial blunder. First, Jim Coyne moved money from the target fund to the building fund in order to cover the mortgage, and now he wants to sell off the members' assets to pay for garage. If our general fund was so strong why are we paying so much interest and selling off assets? Is the lot he is selling worth $25,000,000? What happens to the plumbers parking garage when the 500 unit building has the rooftop and the majority of the parking spots? Where do all the plumbers park? Sounds like the members are left with no parking garage, less property, and roughly $7,000.000 of debt. Ask Jim Coyne why the members were never given an opportunity to vote on what he does with their assets!
11. Campaign Restrictions
Federal law prohibits the use of any union or employer funds to promote the candidacy of any person in a union officer election. This prohibition applies to cash, facilities, equipment, vehicles, office supplies, etc., of Factory Workers Local 888 and any other union, and of employers whether or not they employ Local 888 members. Union officers and employees may not campaign on time paid for by the union.
Federal law also provides that candidates must be treated equally regarding the opportunity to campaign and that all members may support the candidates of their choice without being subject to penalty, discipline, or reprisal of any kind.
Jim Coyne, accompanied by John Hosty, visited both the water department and park district plumbers today. Clearly a direct violation of U.S. DOL regulations. Other potential candidates have been reassigned to desk jobs and directed not to campaign at their work places, why? Ask Jim Coyne and the progressive party why they are actively engaging in candidate suppression while they are out illegally campaigning!
