MOTION FOR SANCTIONS IP: 205.188.117.196 Posted on September 16, 2008 at 04:25:16 AM by LARRY VINCENT
TO ALL RETIREES,
WE FINALLY HAVE SOME GOOD NEWS FOR YOU MEMBERS AND YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS. TODAY, THE TRUSTEES VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO ACCEPT OUR OFFER OF $5 THOUSAND DOLLARS TO SETTLE THE SANCTIONS. TRUSTEE SHARON FOX MADE A MOTION TO ACCEPT THE SETTLEMENT AND THE OTHER TRUSTEES VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO ACCEPT. IT HAS BEEN A LONG AND BUMPY ROAD, THE LAST 4 YEARS. FINALLY, I AM GLAD TO REPORT, THE LEGAL BATTLE HAS ENDED. IN CLOSING THIS CHAPTER, I WANT TO THANK EACH AND EVERY TRUSTEE FOR THEIR DELIBERATIONS, CONVICTIONS AND FINALLY THEIR VOTE. A THANK YOU TO TRUSTEE ATTORNEYS RON COHEN AND PATRICK GONYEA IS ALSO IN ORDER. I SAW A LOT OF COMPASSION FROM OUR TRUSTEES AS THEY MADE THEIR DECISION TO END THIS LEGAL NIGHTMARE. IT IS GOOD TO HAVE OUR LEGAL ISSUES FINALLY SETTLED ONCE AND FOR ALL. OUR ASSOCIATION HAS FURTHER BUSINESS AHEAD AND YOUR BOARD LOOKS FORWARD TO GETTING STARTED. WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE TRUSTEES AND THE UNIONS IN EXPLORING WAYS THAT RETIREES CAN HAVE AN INCREASE IN FUTURE BENEFITS, IN THE BEST INTEREST OF US ALL. YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS SINCERELY THANK EACH AND EVERY MEMBER FOR THEIR UNWAVERING SUPPORT, ALL ALONG THE WAY. I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MUCH I APPRECIATE THE SUPPORT. ONE THING FOR SURE, WE NEVER FELT LIKE WE WERE ALONE. WE HAD SUPORT AT EACH AND EVERY STOP. I REMAIN ETERNALLY GRATEFUL FOR OUR MEMBERSHIP AND THEIR GRIT. THAT IS WHAT KEPT US ALL MOVING AHEAD EVEN AGAINST TREMENDOUS ODDS. WE CAN NOW TURN THIS PAGE AND MOVE AHEAD. THANKS TO ALL.
LARRY VINCENT
