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.
