Delay Tactics Continue by NAGE

NAGE President David Holway and Director David Bernard have been caught in yet another lie to their members of the Massachusetts Trial Court, stating they are members of the AFL-CIO – THEY ARE NOT!  The Alzheimer twins apparently forgot that NAGE/SEIU left the AFL-CIO in 2005 and joined “Change to Win” – a break off labor organization headed by SEIU.

In fact, President Holway was the co-chair on the committee that decided to leave the AFL-CIO and was so proud of the decision that which has now cost his organization over 5,000 members. NAGE attorney Amy Laura Davidson of Sandulli Grace, P.C. actually claimed in a “Motion to Defer” which was sent to the Massachusetts Division of Labor that they were members of the AFL-CIO and the hearing scheduled for Monday, May 24, 2010 should be postponed for 30 days in order to validate their claim – we find this ironic, due to the fact that Sandulli Grace, P.C. actually represents real AFL-CIO locals and knows better!

However, the New England PBA, I.U.P.A Local 9000, AFL-CIO called the International AFL-CIO and the AFL-CIO immediately informed the Massachusetts Division of Labor, “the National Association of Government Employees (NAGE) is not an affiliate of the National AFL-CIO and therefore not entitled to claim protection under the AFL-CIO’s Article XX No-Raiding procedures.”

This is clearly another attempt by NAGE to circumvent the wishes of the membership and to try to stop the election process and allow the membership to vote on who will best represent them. The latest NAGE lie has fallen on deaf ears and we would hope the members of the Massachusetts Trial Court who are represented by NAGE will call them and tell NAGE to STOP the delay tactics and consent to an election by the Massachusetts Division of Labor. As we stated, time and time again – we will continue to update you with honest & truthful representation, NOT the delay and deceitful representation you are currently burdened with by NAGE.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR CONTIUNED SUPPORT AND CALLS OF ENCOURAGEMENT!
