FOREVER F.O.U.R.!

First order of business  for F.O.U.R. should be to have a conference as soon as possible to get the membership all on the same page. Other suggestions may be to raise the dues from $9.00 to $12.00. It would not hurt because we will receive three raise increases. We then can BUILD OUR STRIKE FUND. Five years will be a good chunk of change. Another change that needs to take place is updating our constitution and bylaws. Terms of holding office, process of mail-in ballots, and new staff being able to run for office just to name a few.
Also, this is vital, WE NEED TO START PULLING STAFF OUT ON UNION LEAVE AND BUILD OUR OWN ORGANIZING DEPARTMENT. Time to get some of these great organizers on the F.O.U.R. payroll.
And last but not least, at the next negotiations we should have all the joint board contracts expire on the same day as the international contract. Yes we may have lost this battle but the war is not over. True union men and women never stop fighting!

Chuck Loves to Suck!

Look Chuck, 1st I just want to let you know that you did nothing to set what is now in motion. You did not get 76% to vote yes. Remember this, Bruce Raynor and the rest of management did this to FOUR and you were just a mere onlooker. You know, that is another thing I found out about h.e.r.e. people.  They sit on the sidelines like cheerleaders and when the real warriors come off the field you guys want to take the credit. You bastards really are spineless. At least we did what we could and we are still around to continue to fight. Oh, I was right, there are about 60 field staff. What is half of 60? Dude put the POM POM's down and stop being a little bitch. We will send you a care package of Blistex,knee pads, and cough syrup for your sore throat. You have  more Dick to suck and five years is along time! Your  doing a great job so far and we are sure you can handle the task.

You Don't Know Which Way The Train Went By Looking At The Tracks!

UniteHere has managed to corrupt  our top officials of our union now.If you read your FOUR constitution Article XIV, Rules Of Order. The executives are suppose to follow Robert's Rules of Order. Now, Sniper did write to Robert's Rules on  6/5/06  about mail -in voting. Our Constitution and bylaws say nothing about E-mail ballots nor does it say you can vote twice. Check the track record. Beginging with the change of heart that our executives have now. At first all you heard was strike vote. Now it was the best that we could do! Just before the "Take It Or Leave It Proposal " there were either two or three re-schedulings for negotiations. They go to the table the last day for a couple of hours and all of a sudden! Plus they put NO on the ballot with the authorization of a strike to scare people into voting yes. If you can't figure it out yet, maybe some outside sources  can. WE HAVE BEEN SOLD OUT! Our question is who is on the elections committee and where are the ballots going to be counted." Any member in good standing may be present". We suggest that you call your officers to ask some of these questions yourself. This is something that we "recommend".

The Laughing Stock of Yale

Most people don't know about the big joke at Yale. See, when you get bad grades and have no direction in life you could always get a job with HERE. HERE was considered the last stop before being thought of as a loser. So before the merger, HERE management drafted a plan to destroy FOUR. They had to protect their COUNTRY CLUB. The problem is that they did not achieve their goal. FOUR will live on for at least five more years. Another problem is now all of these poor and middle class people can now be apart of the club. Now we get to see first hand how HERE staff don't service shops,nor do they know how to run a ground attack, and the contracts they negotiate with companies are not worth a wooden nickel. They don't want us to see this stuff, they just want us to do the grunt work and clean up their mess.(like decerts) I feel like Tiger Woods receiving the green blazer. I am so honored. (not..ha ha..) I would raise my glass to call a toast but as you already know I will NEVER drink the HERE punch.
