HUNDREDS OF MEMBERS UNEMPLOYED AND PHILLIPENAS HIRES ?

With hundreds of Local 631 members unemployed and hundreds more suffering reduced hours we hear John Phillipenas recently hired yet another Business Agent last week. No explanation has been given by Phillipenas for his recent hiring binge and no substantial justification other than the upcoming election appears to exist. To add insult to injury Phillipenas hired Randy Soltero a officer of the Sheet Metal Workers instead of a Teamster. No word of whether Randy will join Phillipenas in being paid over $100,000/year to work for Local 631.

SAY IT AIN'T SO DIRTY JOE

Sightings of Dirty Joe Rivas at Republic Services of late have become almost nonexistent. Maybe it's because members at Republic began calling him "Punk A** Joe" after his unfortunate decision to seek a restraining order against Local 631 President Kevin Hardison after Hardison observed Mrs Rivas operating the union truck assigned to her husband and demanded an explanation from John Phillipenas. Or maybe Dirty Joe started attending those five hour liquid lunches with Todd Clapper. In any event, we can report that Dirty Joe is in fact alive and well  and seems to actually  remember how to find the Republic yard as he was reported to have appeared in the flesh today at 11:00 a.m. Of course you won't find many members around at that time of day but it is more convenient for closed door meetings with management/
