Take Backward Our Union are saving TWU Local 100 by awarding themselves six figures and are laughing all the way to the bank with our money. Do you believe they are going to get us a contract or just fatten their wallets with our hard earned money? Is this the honest campaign from Take Backward Our Union who promised to self police their financial irregularities behind closed doors by ruining the TWU Local 100. John E Samuelsen acts as a CEO padding his own pay the rampant hubris and sense of entitlement with grizzly obsession.

Take Back Our Union(TBOU) Election Campaign Message -They said " Save Our Union "

Take Back Our Union (TBOU)Election Campaign Message – They said “Save our Union” and laughed all the way to the Bank.‏

We Don’t Need a Puppet 

We need a Real President

After handpicking Tate as his “Acting President,” Toussaint says he will be the “International Officer responsible for Local 100.” It’s wrong for Toussaint to try to continue to run Local 100 through Tate from behind the scenes at the International. We don’t need Toussaint’s puppet as an acting president for the next three years.

They said “Save our Union,” & laughed all the way to the Bank

The Union’s by-laws say that officers are supposed to get the same raises as those negotiated for the members. Did you earn 10 % or 12 % more in 2008? A lot of them did.

The Union’s financial records, which are filed with the federal government, show many of them did a lot better than us in 2008 when compared to 2007:

Tate made 7% more

Clark made 11 % more

Thomas made 12 % more

N. Rivera made 10 % more

Ayala made 12 % more

Poor Watt - he only got a 4 % raise in 2008. But don’t feel too sorry for him. Watt’s allowances and disbursements from the Union increased $4,600; giving him $23,471 on top of his salary.

Tate, Watt & the rest of them told us we needed to “Save our Union” and then they went to the bank with our money. And they can’t even get us a contract!
