Factoid Section
Larry Cary:
a lawyer who ran Samuelsens campaign effort for free with an expectation of getting the very lucrative head counsel spot after winning the elections. Samuelsen promised him a $27,000.00 a month retainer that often exceeds that. I questioned many legal bills submitted by him for months. These records should be requested by the membership. Would he serve as an attorney for the local or just Samuelsen at those rates. His neutral actions at the trial were questioned strongly and recorded. His law license should some day be looked at.
Jim Gannon:
Retired from TWU International. Presumably making nice retirement check. Hired by Samuelsen at $99,000 a year.Gets a free brand new union car to commute an hour and a half to northern NJ. Gas,Tolls and private parking across from union hall also included. Jim heads the bloated communications department at Local 100 that's been doubled in size since January,2010. Jim frequently farmed out very large print jobs to outside non union printers. The cost was tens of thousands of dollars. Jim was a strong opponent of in house printing that could save the Union hundreds of thousands of dollars in the first 3 years alone. Samuelsen approved those bills exclusively. I refused to approve them. Looking at his political contribution records shows interesting patterns prior to coming to Local 100.
Tony Utano:
Is the current VP of MOW Dept. His election and several others are currently being scrutinized strongly for potential discrepancies in his eligibility related to bad standing. Tony is Johns close friend. He had a new Union Ford most of this year until he outgrew it and Samuelsen purchased him another car,a nice black Jeep just weeks before accusing me of an unauthorized purchase. The record clearly showed a staffer purchased all TWU cars and Samuelsen signed the checks.
