A Sad Day?

Can it really be a "Sad Day" when those that didn't want a dues increase win pursuant to a fair vote and the requirements of their Constitution? IMWTK?   Ah . . . , I'll assume it was fair, albeit I have my doubts ... we will see when I receive a list of how the locals voted! IF it was "just 25 votes", I'd fully expect them (Especially "Shame on You") to change 13 to yes and announce it passed; did someone in the meeting refuse to fudge the figures or was there concern with my letter and/or a complaint to the DOL???  Did anyone think that maybe the membership doesn't care about being in the AFL/CIO; hell, we jumped in and out two or three times as a political ploy involving the "fight to the death" with the BLE . . . , who cares?  I refer to them as BLE  because if any T(rainmen) in that social club thinks he's an equal then he/she is an idiot. .. most or just there for cheaper dues because they wouldn't be in either union unless the law required it.

It is a sad day when your International President admits in writing that his vision of the UTU Constitution is the same as that of Charlie "Sacrosanct" Little, i.e., it is nothing but an impediment to how we conduct our business ... it's only there to give the members a belief that they have certain rights! Realistically speaking, they never had the 2/3rds necessary for the first "war chest" in Miami . . . they just pretended it took 2/3rds for a roll call vote and then turned off the mics (See "Democracy? @ Convention Special).   Hell Paulie, you think it was a "Sad Day"for the Hierarchy; us dues paying members have had a "Sad 10 Years" while the UTU Hierarchy stole from the job benefit, paid 100s of speical reps to politic under the guise of "The Unity Initiative", pursued a war they can't win, sold DLC designations to the higgest bidder, paid meals and lodging with the AmEx card and pocketed the per diem, worked no more than a 100 days a year for a quarter million in salary, expenses, pension, and benefits, blew a half million on pursuing a member who caught them stealing from him, gave "exclusivity" to BLE without even challenging it, etc., etc., etc.

A now, the latest UTU Smoke and Mirrors - A Blue Ribbon Panel!  Gawd . . . wouldn't it be more accurate to call it "A Grey Ribbon Panel" . . . SEVEN retirees and two active members. . . of the retirees, 3 or 4 have been on the "gravy train" ... ah .. . I mean "consultants" for quite some time - are they really "independent"? IMWTK?  I abhor age discrimination . . . but don't we have active members who could perform this task?  I mean, isn't this a "little" like the King Arthur commercial where the guy throws a big sack on the table and King Arthur says "are you suggesting we "throw money at the problem"!!!  I don' need to multiply 7 times 3 or 4 days per diem, VP pay, travel (hopefully not first class???) and mileage to know it'sgoing to cost $10 or $20 G's for these guys to "make a plan"???? 

Hell Paulie, WE all know what the problem is . . . An OVERBLOATED INTERNATIONAL HIERARCHY ... especially 16 Vice Presidents whose own reports show they do "little" but attend local union meetings and PLB's (where they should not be in the first place unless the GC's don't want to go into the Executive Session and cut deals themselves)! Hell, I'm at least glad you got Al Chesser there .. . he probably remembers when this Union had 10 or 20 thousand members for every Intl VP - not one for every 4,000 members. Hey Al, did you guys have 15% of your salary paid by the members for a pension (besides RRB) that you never had to pay a dime for? IMWTK???

WE don't need "no stinking Blue Ribbon Panel", I'll be happy to tell you how the steamline the union.  Let's start with your resignation, Paulie; not because you were implicated by convicted felons, not because you pocket the per diem, not because you tell off-color jokes to children; not because you're not smart enough to know those around you have been stealing for 5 or 6 years but RATHER BECAUSE YOU DON'T BELIEVE IN THE UTU CONSITUTION AND DEMOCRACY!!!! Sadly Paulie, the minority didn't "DICTATE" to the majority but rather won a victory pursuant to their Constitution and democracy.  Since you're no smart enough to know that OR smart enough to hire someone who can tell you that (I would have told you without a consulting fee!), you need to resign!  So - STEP ONE:  You resign, Marceau becomes President and YOU DON'T fill the Asst. President slot - it will be removed in the Mail Ballot on the Constitution in 2007.   Stay tuned for more of the plan:

Does UTU have Integrity Now?

Well, IF "U" believe Paul "Shame on You" Thompson, Dan "First Class/Strong and Stable" Johnson, or David "Shady" Hakey, YES THEY DO! Indeed, it was just a few bad apples like Charlie "Sacrosanct" Little and Byroon "Trust Me I'm Innocent" Void who engaged in an illegal "Enterprise" for approximately 6 or 7 years without any other UTU International Officer taking part OR being savvy enough to recognize their corruption.  I mean, sophiticated stealing like buying first class plane tickets and then cancelling them and splitting the money with some fly-by-night travel agency is almost impossible to catch ... ain't it?  Geeze Danny Boy, did it ever occur to you to check the vouchers with little bb's officer reportand see if he actually showed being where he was suppose to be?  I mean, I know none of the "Big Three" spent more than 30 days a year in Cleveland, but you could have checked that from Kalifornia!

Damn, I forgot, loyalty from International UTU Officers comes before everything else. . . , including conscience, common sense, or even "known" illegal activity! But hell, that's all been corrected now with the "ethics panel's" exonoration of all those implicated by the convicted felons who have no credibility.  Hell, in Miami when Paulie said he used the American Express card to pay for meals and rooms and still accepted per diem because "I have socializing expenses", every member knew right then that this was a man of integrity destined to lead UTU to its full potential.

And today or tomorrow, we "could" have proof of this "new intergity" within the UTU.  It could most easily come with an announcement that the $5 dues increase did not receive the necessary 2/3rds vote to pass so the Board of Directors will be implementing the $2 increase now and another in January 2006.  Of course, complete credibilty would come if they admitted the real purpose is to pay the overbloated salary, expenses, and benefits of the International Officers rather than all the bullshit they have put out.  But of course, that won't happen in the "new" UTU because the "new" UTU in no different than the "new beginning" EXCEPT, without still admitting it, they aren't strong and stable and haven't been for the past decade!  Indeed, they barrowed $6 M, they are dipping from the DIPP again (the Government allowed them to steal 10 M last time?), sold buildings, and will do whatever is necessary to maintain this overbloated UTU Hierachy!  Paulie brags about cutting the Cleveland Staff by 20% - they had to to continue to pay the overbloated Officers. Paulie brags about cutting his expenses to $12G's in 2004 compared to Bryoon's of$70 G's in 2003??? Hmm ... how much of that $70 G's was for trips he didn't take? (hahahahaha)  What's the $12 G's for . . . KC Chiefs away games . . . or you just can't afford to go the Cleveland 30 days a year now? (hahahahaha) Say, with no money for PBL's(the government) and no money for travel (theUTU) to local meetings, what do 16 International vice presidents do to pad their officer reports to make it look like they are earning that $365 a day 365 days a year? Inquiring Minds Want to Know??????

Hell today is an "event" much like Haley's comet. . . potentially the first time ever that the President, Assistant President, and Secretary/Treasurer are all in Cleveland at the same time . ..,deciding how were are going to fudge the figures and make this dues increase PASS by a 2/3rds vote?  IMWTK (See my letter to S/T Johnson requesting pertinent informatin-I'll happily provide Monty Hall's reponse under Danny Boy's signature IF they bother to respond- stay tuned?). IF UTU announces that the dues increase passed and refuses to provide doumentation ( my guess is they will be shredding ballots and take their chances with the Department of Labor when formal complaints are filed), themembership will know the leopard has not changed his spots!  One thing UTU members should realize is that there are still more than 100 delegates who have "Special Rep" ties and will vote for this dues increase despite how their local instructs them. Another reason the International won't be able to provide a list; They don't want these whores defeated just because they don't follow the instructions of their local! I still have to laugh about the ones who placed dues increases into the Constitution without the knowledge of their locals! (hahahahahaha - did they re-elect them?)

Since the inception of the Smoot debacle, I've realized that the UTU is morally bankrupct and not one International Officer has the balls to stand up for right within this Union.  Perhaps it's because every International VP has been involved in an "Earley Executive Board"? Here is the Brief and Reply Brief . . . , no effort will be made to provide the Trustee's Brief as it is lacking in fact, reason, and law.  The only thing of interest is the Trustees admission the UTU and CSX have now agreed to take nothing from the estate but you can discern that is the case from our reply Brief!

By the way, dues increase or not, don't expect a UTU Convention in 2007 . . . they will be doing that by mail and that way they can control the Constitution and the Officers. . . just as easily as they control this dues ballot! Ah . . . isn't it about time we had a $250 G a year Vice President for those Big Sky Pilots . . . , Inquiring Minds Want to Know???

 

Deja Vu

Another "WarChest"??? Ah. . ., I've heard this before: "Gimme $5 and I won't take $2 from you. . . , I promise". Well, Ain't That Special!  Paul "Shame on You" Thompson is either as good a liar as Charlie"Sacrosanct" Little and Byroon "Trust me I'm innocent" Void ... OR ... they still have the same AAR pond scum  writing their propaganda. Yea, I think Frank "I only worked part time for AAR" Wilner got over $150 G's in 2004. . . I sure hope this $5 dues increase gives him a raise commensurate with all the extra money the employees got from their new "trick rates"???  The only thing missing here is a mask and a gun. I say, take the $2 and I save $3 a month . . . let's face facts . . . It's only going to support the most overbloated union hierachy in the Rail Industry. 

A resonable person has to wonder how much of a fine they had to pay to delay the 2004 LM-2 report by some 6 months? You can bet they would have NEVER published it right before this sham sales pitch IF they could have avoided it! Am I the only delegate who didn't get his copy of the 2004 books . . ., Inquiring Minds Want to Know? 

More training for the Terrorist Threat?  Gawd. . . leave it to "Shame on You" to wrap himself in the Flag to get a dues increase . . . shame on you!   Oh . . . . poor Paulie was duped by his friend Byroon . . . he was loyal to his long time friend?  Let's see, when little bb submitted the undocumented $50 G monthy AmEX bill, wasn't part of that for TWO plane tickets to London. . . and wasn't it you, Mr. Thompson that accompanied him . . . Shame on you! Hey Paulie . . . heard any good jokes lately . . . Shame on you!  Hey Paulie, IF we need money so bad, why did you decide the UTU would forgore their claim in bankruptcy court, particularly after prosecuting and persecuting Smoot to the tune of over $250,000 to get his FELA settlement . . . shame on you!   I'll provide the Trustee's statement on that in due time. But Smoot continues with the same lack of integrity from the Trustee's attorneys as we have come to expect in the past, i.e., misrepresent the law and try to demand a deadline upon us for a hearing!

The averments will be coming Soon!

An Open Letter to the El Paso Times

Dear Editor:

Your recent election story describing Mr. Cushing’s campaign as "hampered by a steady stream of reports about a 30-year-old assault case" seems quite disingenuous as it was the Times and their affiliate, KVIA TV, that regurgitated the story weekly for months, often without any significant new facts whatsoever.

Mr. Cushing’s campaign was not "hampered", it was deliberately torpedoed so the "innovative breath of fresh air" Times endorsed candidate could win based upon emotions rather than issues and record of performance. Mr. Cushing was the most intelligent and productive councilman to serve on El Paso City Council in the last decade and the citizens are going to deeply miss the fiscal responsibility and accountability that he brought to city government. Senior centers, parks, and summer programs are going to deeply miss the additional discretionary funds from his donated salary.

Your unending repetition of this story was a disservice to the Citizens of El Paso. Unfortunately, all I can do is voice my opinion about your actions and cancel my subscription to the El Paso Times.

Lance E. Ruck

Central El Paso

PS: Since I don’t expect you to print this, at least without editing the last paragraph, I have placed it as "An Open Letter to the El Paso Times" on my on webpage.

A Tribute to "Bob"!

While deeply saddened by the recent defeat of Robert A. Cushing, Jr., for re-election to Councilperson for District Two, City of El Paso, I believe that this may be for the best for his ultimate "health". While I might suggest that his defeat was totally "unexpected", the "deliberate"  amount of periodic  stories by the El Paso Times, and their affiliate KVIA TV, that reiterated the original story with a few "new facts" each presentation, didn't bode well for Bob and seemed calculated to defeat him at any cost! They have been sucessful;  they have defeated the most intelligent, productive member of City Council in decades. They now have a "innovative breath of fresh air" on council, who quite frankly, has no chance to ever duplicate the achievements of Mr. Cushing during his two year term, but rather will become another unmemorable representative in a long line of underachivers that have "occupied" the District Two Office in the past several decades!  I digress with a proud moment of support for my friend in picture form!

Cushing05.jpg (578689 bytes)

IF you can't read the sign, it says:

Re-elect Robert A Cushing, Jr.

I have lived in District Two for over 50 years. I have known Robert A. Cushing, Jr. for 25years. He is the most intelligent and effective advocate for individuals and their rights, whether union or non union, that I have ever met.

He has an unprecedented record of achievement for District Two the past two years after decades of neglect from our previous councilpersons. Vote for a proven leader based upon issues and performance, not a political novice based on alleged events of thirty years ago.

Lance E. Ruck

I don't know what happened 30 years ago and I don't care! Politics is about "what have you done for me lately", not about what did you do 30 years ago?  The record, verified in streaming video, is undisputed: Robert A. Cushing, Jr. has been the most productive member of City Council in decades. He had the respect of his peers, while some might not admit it now and would pretend they had the intelligence and ability equal to him (ludicrous), and he cannot be replaced by a "Byrd of any color", regardless of who ends up on City Council after the run-offs! In my mind, who are the power brokers in our society: Can't be Jones, Bowling, and Jobe - the two most powerful councilmen - Cushing and Cobos, were defeated by political novices? Perhaps the newest "Troika" is the EP Times, Senator Shapliegh, and Ted Houghton?  Hell, throw in some rich folks, not necessarily from Rim Road, and we could end up with a Council, regardless of who is Mayor, that spends another 20 Million on the Plaza Theater and a 100 Million in "Downtown Development"! Ah . . . , can't happen without the "Certificates of Obligation" this "innovative, breath of fresh air" newest City Council mightapprove! Where are you Ray Gilbert . . . , WE (The Citizens of El Paso) need a financial "watchdog" behind the podium now, more that WE have ever needed one, since the loss of "councils watchdog", Mr. Cushing.

"To Be Continued"

And the beat goes on!

The various UTU "special reps" who reside on the UURR and other sites use to take great joy in trying to discredit me and Smoot with their constant barrage of "corrupt judges, corrupt attorneys, yada, yada, yada ..." as if everything were concocted and there really wasn't a Public record of thousands of pages of court filings, exhibits, documents, rulings, appeals, etc. that represent a probative record of "Justice Gone Wild"! And nothing seems to be changing based upon the latest ruling and the circumstances under which given, i.e., the Trustee was suppose to provide "findings of fact and conclusions of law" within 30 days of Judge Tice's tenative ruling that he would approve the specious "proposed settlement".  Of course, no such documents were ever filed-not in 30 days, not in 60 days,... just never did file anything.  Oh well, that's easily correctable by simply removing the requirement from the docket at a later date and basing your decision on the previous "exhaustive" legal brief (haha) filed by the Trustee?

We have a copy of the "old" docket, and a copy of the "corrected" docket and wonder if this is "business as usual", i.e., when the trustee doesn't meet a deadline, you just erase the record of any deadline thereby placing the Trustee in a favorable light. Obviously she is competent because she did meet the last 30 day deadline in only 33 days and she only missed the deadline to Object to me being a creditor by a mere few months?   Indeed, she files her objection that I am a post petition creditor after the Judge has ruled I am in a footnote??? "U" think these people are communicating "ex parte"? Inquring Minds Want to Know and I am probably going the ask the United States Trustee this question and many others in an upcoming complaint, specifically since he didn't respond to my last request?

So after Judge Tice has already ruled I am a postpetition nonpriority creditor, the Trustee's files an untimely objection to my claim making this same argument that has already been ruled on without any action by the Trustee. Now there is a hearing February 23, in Richmond and the Trustee's attorney has advised: "If you or your attorney do not attend the hearing, the Court may sustain the Objection and disallow your claim."  Ah . . . Is that putting the cart before the horse; I mean the Judge has already ruled in his Memorandum and Opion?  Silly me, I thought she had 20 days to object, then have a hearing in which the Judge takes evidence from both parties, and then makes a decision! Judging how Smoot faired (Memorandum and Opinion II) in all his averments, seems like a waste of money to attend the hearing? 

The Trustee avers "6. Claim No. 14 is not valid because it relates to debts incurred by the Debtor after the Petition Date. Thus, it is the Debtor's responsibility and not the Estate's.(footnote 1)"   (Footnote 1 - See Creditor Objection to Trustee's Motion to Approve the Compromise and Settlement Agreement and Memorandum of Law in Support Thereof, p.8 n. 23 ("[m]y loans came after 6 months of the Bankruptcy and creation of the estate.").)

Well . . . well Ms. Tavenner, I see you're playing the "..." game again to your advantage like you did when you misrepresented the actual language of Smoot's exemption.  Let's just put your spiffy quote in it's true state as it appears on page 8, footnote 23, to wit:

"I contend she does not since the case was filed well after any time limit to bring assets into the estate by my reading of bankruptcy law. Indeed, I suspect the Trustee will aver I am not a bonafide creditor since my loans came after 6 months of the filing of the Bankruptcy and creation of the estate. Should she make such an averment and prevail, we will know she also does not control the malpractice assets, if any."

Is it just me, or does this appear to be deliberate misrepresentation of the facts for the purpose of fooling the Judge? Ah . . . but perhaps he doesn't need to be fooled? I mean, his positon seems to be that he knows the lawsuit was also post petition (filed 14 months after the Petition Date with $10,000 put up by myself and a friend - not Smoot whose assets were then frozen by the Trusstee) but I'm not changing a mistake I made 5 years ago?????  And the Trustees postion is Smoot owes this money, NOT the estate! Hell, I agree and I never filed because my friend and I expected to get our money back from Smoot when he won the malpractice suit - that was our agreement and no payment necessary IF he didn't win! So how does the Trustee OWN this case since it is clearly post petition?  Why did she attempt to prevent the attorney from pursueing it by demanding any unspent money back when Smoot did not put it up in the first place? Why did she try to dismiss it rendering it dead as if it had never been timely filed, i.e. worth NOTHING?  IF it is now worth $30 G's, shouldn't the two people who allowed it to be filed be THE PRIORITY CREDITORS with a say in the matter? And is my Objection really without merit? 

Hey Judge Tice, Mr. Barnhill . . . WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON HERE? Ah ... and if you can't answer that question, well ... just hang in there and always have a nice day!!!

12-22-04: Dear readers: Hope each and everyone of you have a Great Holiday Season and a

prosperous 2005.  No ruling on the Trustees specious request to settle Ken Smoot's malpractice action, which brought my Creditor Objection (see below), albeit the Trustee is now approximately 30 days overdue on the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law the Judge required at the last hearing. Many Motions by Smoot have now gone unaddressed by the Court for over 3 and 4 months.   Damn. .. perhaps the Trustee has negotiated a "de facto" TRO with the judge? (hehe)

xmas04p.png (615924 bytes)

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all from Lana, Melissa, Lela, Whiskers, and Lanny!

Regular readers should check back frequently right now as I continue to update the current topic. I have added my Objection since I now know that it has been received in Virginia by Smoot, and therefore the Court and Trustee. Iam about to move most of the home page over to news and probably delete some articles to make space without having to pay additional fees.

It would seem that Ken's bankruptcy trustee has been working behind his back since June to shitcan his Malpractice action in Ohio that resulted in the specious wiretap judgment in favor of CSX and UTU.  At a recent hearing, the judge has tentatively approved such illegal behavior pending findings of fact and conclusions of law.  It now appears we have the latest Perpatrator in the Smoot debacle, i.e.,

"The Misbehaving Trustee"

8-22-04: Latest Smoot Filing is now present!

Albeit I am not that active in the UTU anymore, I still receive emails from members asking if Ken Smoot is still alive and/or in jail yet? Ah . . ., I believe it is Charlie and Byroon that are in Jail; Ken Smoot is alive and well and still fighting the good fight (Different than Clint's "good fight" - hehe) with whatever help I can give! But of course, proof is necessary and I offer same, i.e., recent photos of Ken and I at the 101st Annual Reunion in Hampton, VA. Ken came over from the Richmond area to join me for two days of partying! Ken has recently filed numerous motions to "dismiss" his bankruptcy proceeding and the court is hard pressed to continue to cater to the Trustee and an ever increasing body of bad law? Here is Ken and I at the Memorial Banquet on August 6th.

Hampton Ken and Lanny.jpg (78281 bytes)

I call this one "All American Ken"?  Ah . . . , these guys were smiling until I told them what UTU did to Ken; then they were ready to "kick ass and take names"!

All American Ken.jpg (67993 bytes)

Ken may get some unexpected financial help from my friend . . ., Don? When he heard the story of how UTU screwed Ken out of his 30 shares of stock and then made him the perpetrator rather than the victem to the tune of a half million dollar judgment for a specious wiretap act violation, he was downright amazed; I think his actual words may have been, Christ . . . , Only in America! (hehe)

Lanny and Don.jpg (67039 bytes)

Suffice to say Ken and I had a great time together, shared several drinks, more stories and laughs about our 12 year continuing battle with UTU/CSXT/Corrupt Courts than most people gain in a lifetime, and are intent on pursuing the matter to final conclusion and justice; It does appear that UTU and CSXT no longer wish to play and are relying on the specious averments of the Trustee and her counsel to continue the "bad law"? The filings are coming soon so that even first year rail employees can recognize how shallow is the Trustees averments are and why the Courts should never be allowed to disregard the protected status of FELA and other Medical Settlements from creditor process! 

hampton2.jpg (74029 bytes)

Stay tuned for the filings! Also, we may have big news to report on BNSF's failure to follow their policy of being "sensative" to the interests of communities? They certainly haven't adheared to the highest legal and ethical standards in their handling of an extremely unsafe condition that threatens and inconveniences the driving Public of New Mexico and West Texas on Doniphan Drive. Indeed, their attitude has been arrogant to the extent they don't even attend meetings they say they will attend?  Probably won't even have anyone in authority at the Monday Emergency Meeting but that's OK, I believe it is now on the City Council Agenda for Tuesday! Ah . . . good luck!   

The Smoot Award!

Our Mission

The El Paso Express Newsletter first appeared in 1991 in a failed attempt to prevent the loss of union members productivity for a so called "Special Retirement Benefit". Since that time, the Express has developed into a champion of free speech within the UTU and has aggressively sought to uncover union corruption and abuses of the member's rights and their Constitution.

The Express cannot control the dissemination of free speech nor would it ever want to. Indeed, the sole intent of the Express is to promote free speech, i.e., provide information, opinions, and ideas which will be food for thought for union members, ultimately creating a freer, more responsive, democratic union. As has been stated many times, "u" (union members) don't work for the union hierarchy, they work for "u" because "u" pay their salaries, expenses, pensions, and benefits.   If they do not represent "u", subject always to complete good faith and honesty of purpose in the exercise of its (UTU - statutory bargaining representative) discretion, WE MUST REPLACE THEM!

The information, opinions, ideas, and philosophies of the Express may be found throughout this web site and returning viewers are encouraged to check News or Table of Contents to see what is new! First time readers are encouraged to read all of the News which dates back to May 7 when this site went back on line after replacing the original site which was dormant for over a year.
