The Gypsy Switch

The new union leadership are a bunch of con artists. They prey upon people who want something for nothing or people who are naive. King John and his motley band of men are conning the members of the local. Last year they acted like they were taking our union back from an evil reign of tyranny. If you didn't know any better you would have thought John was the last knight of the round table and the previous leadership was the vile Modred. John and his merry band of miscreants have pulled the old gypsy switch on us. They had us focus on Roger Toussant while they have stolen the union right from under us.

John said that the mass meeting would be held on February 27, 2010. Instead the Black History Celebration was held on that date. Lobby Day usually held in April will be a trip to D.C. instead of Albany. Someone needs to tell John that the international has an office in D.C. that lobbys on behalf of all its locals. Our focus should be up in Albany forcing a showdown with the MTA. So we won't have a mass meeting and we are going to D.C. That my friend is the old gypsy switch. Recently John had the Labor Department going over paper work from Roger's administration. John was hoping to find some dirt on the previous elected officals. That diverted our attention from the gypsy switch that was taking place.

John and company are not the knights from the round table. They are not going to rescue the union from the master con artist known as the MTA. They will use smoke and mirrors to bull shit the members. Don't feed into their flimflam rhetoric. Protect yourself and your work place, that will force John to do something. Hold him and his band of elephant fart eaters to the fire. Remember this: WE ARE THE UNION. Not John and his lint lickers.
