Integrity

We here in why did you join the union believe that the membership of Local 100 are full of pride and they do not falsify records. It is incomprehensible that the Local 100 would go along with management. In these quarters we were disturbed that the article implies that ‘workers‘ are the culprit we are hesitant and reluctant to believe these outrageous charges. 

We are not pleased and we do not want to believe that our fellow members are to be blamed solely. It appears that the blue collar would end up as scape goats since the report is not yet finished we are withholding our opinion. This is our preliminary view however whether this is a tactic or strategy from Jay H Walder to save his job we should be wary of this report and why it was not released earlier? Why now? We would bet Walder would like to save his job and use with this report to snag the new governor approval.

In the event that the blue collar are used as scape goats, and if any member of Local 100 is accused of falsifying the records we must act forcefully. The management must feel the wrath of Local 100 because we believe in our fellow co-workers who are exemplary, honest and hard working. If it is the managers (white collar) who are the ones falsifying those records then they should not lump the blue collar along.

It is obvious Walder has received indication from the governor elect to pack his bags, thus now came the release of this safety report. He has been a boss for over a year and there was nothing and all of sudden before the holiday season he drops this safety report. It reminds us of Tom Ridge the former secretary of homeland security who would elevate the status of the threat levels and color codes during the holiday season. Now Walder appears to imitate Ridge’s style. It will be outrageous if it is found out that the management have been falsifying the safety records while Walder was the boss. It will be reprehensible if Walder sat on those records for over a year only to release them now to save his job.
