FURTHER SPLIT IN THE EMPOWERMENT SLATE?

We hear from  reliable sources who attended the  Delegate Election  ballot count last week that Business Agent Kermit Williams vocally expressed  his dissatisfaction  with  Secretary-Treasurer John Phillipenas. Williams reportedly exclaimed " Fu*k John Phillipenas" several times  in front of surprised witnesses. Williams who was elected in 2008 on the coattails of Kevin Hardison seems to be growing vocally and visibly disillusioned with the lack of direction at  Local 631 and the lack of leadership by Phillipenas. Meanwhile Phillipenas  reportedly held a mandatory meeting of Business Agents last Saturday to point fingers  in the wake of his embarrassing 8th place finish in the Delegate Election
