Nobody cared!

Can you imagine what the shooter of Virginia Tech University would have done had he been a member of this union and realized it was corrupt to the core?

 Every Christmas holiday, Jack Loveall would send out a version of Footprints to all of the members.  Jack Lovell would change the story around to suit himself, so below you will notice a version of "Footprints" that was tailored for Jack Loveall. 

 Below is a letter that was sent to the DOL. It was just a waste of time.  I don't believe Elaine Chao even saw this letter.

As soon as the DOL received this envelope they contacted Jack Loveall &588.  Then they sent there bogus response to the wrong address.  They only sent this again to this person when this person inquired at the DOL about sending this envelope. The DOL signed for their copy on Friday, Sept. 28, 2001.  Two days later, Sunday, September 30, 2001,  Jack Loveall and UFCW 588  put in motion a plan to abduct this person from the American River Bike Trail where this member does his running.  However, their plan didn't succeed because this member couldn't be lured by a person sent there to make this member disappear permanently.  Also, does the DOL really think that somebody would believe their BS about forwarding my message to the White House? 

Not only did these asses state that this clerk wasn't qualified for step up pay, but they also indicated over to the right a retired  Steve Goff was not only qualified to make nearly $90,000 back in the year 2000, but he became even more qualified to make nearly $160,000 five years later.  The big question is:  What the hell did he do? I could  think of a better question:  What the hell didn't he do?  It was nice for the over paid ass Joe Coitti to send out his letter nearly a year after the grievance was filed in 2006.  I guess members get all the 5 star representation and 5 star efficiency  that they pay for from a guy making over $125,000 a year.

Below features an audio where a UFCW 588 representative provided top notch representation for a member. Representative Andy Alessi came to this grievance hearing totally unprepared to represent this member.  UFCW 588 allowed the employer to provide lies and innuendo and they did absolutely nothing about this injustice to this member.  Business as usual at UFCW 588. 

It is impossible for store clerks to get the union to cough up with fifty cents more an hour as per union contract language, however, check out the recent April, 2007 UFCW 8 Action News below and see how easy it is for friends of the Union to nearly double their salaries in six years right before they retire from the "good ole' boys."  These guys have no shame...Mr. Goff states in this article that he worked hard to achieve a better standard of living for his Union brothers and sisters.  Correction, based on the salary information below, this ass only worked hard to better his standard of living!!!  He received $88,000 for the year 2000 and by the end of year 2002 his salary almost increased by $50,000 while being under the same title as Business Representative. 

Check out the AC360 section over to the right and read a letter sent to Anderson Cooper of CNN.

All salaries listed above for Steve Goff were obtained from the DOL web site.  In fact, please check out the  buttons below to check out the facts.  One additional note:  Steve in his article states in this article above that he had served as meat division coordinator since 1999.  Well according to the DOL LM-2 filings by this corrupt union, he only served as meat division coordinator since 2003

Below represents just an example of the actual DOL page.

In addition to the above, you can obtain union financial information also without the file number.  To do so apply the following on their form:  Place "ufcw" in the Union Abbreviation slot.  You must scroll down their list to find UFCW-
then select "Local" for the Union Type-
then Place the union's number (i.e. 588) as the Designation number
go back up towards the top and click on the "Submit" button.

What a sham!

Below represents various union in Southern California.  These individuals are the presidents of these unions.  During the strike of 2004, many of these presidents gave themselves raises during a time their members were losing their homes, the jobs, and their dignity.  But, why should these union presidents care? Click here to visit a page centered around them.

Below is typical BS put out by this corrupt union.  It is also typical of how they waste union members dues and try and paint themselves as something wonderful and special.

 Below is an article that ran in the Sacramento Bee.  It features a young man named Derek Manelski counting the memberes votes for the approval or disapproval of the contract.  What this Sacramento Bee article doesn't state is the fact that Derek is also a paid Vice President of UFCW 588 (currently UFCW 8 Golden State).  Derek wasn't the only paid Vice President of this Union counting ratificataion votes.  I guess conflicts of interest aren't a serious matter in important votes such as these.
