NAGE SPIN:
 1.    According to NAGE: In an unprecedented move, the Labor board is prepared to ask the Trial Court to

provide “writing exemplars” from employees to compare them with signatures submitted by NEPBA.

2.     According to NAGE: NEPBA submitted to the Labor board 22 of the 43 signatures needed for the

        Suffolk Group, yet NAGE holds 32 “I support NAGE” cards from the same group.  Richie Linehan stated

        he has worked at Suffolk for 16 years and there is no way NEPBA has 22 of the 43 signatures needed.

 

NEPBA TRUTH:
1.    THE REAL TRUTH IS:   NAGE has asked the Labor board to examine the signatures that were submitted

        by NEPBA.  This is just another delay tactic so that NAGE can continue to collect your dues.  The Labor

        board has taken no action on NAGE’S latest challenge.  In fact, NAGE ONLY wants to find out who

        signed NEPBA “Show of Interest Cards” so they can “RAT OUT” those members to management – like

        NAGE State Director David Bernard did to so many of your members in e-mails to the Massachusetts

        Trial Court during the organizing phase.  If NAGE or Anyone asks you if you’ve signed our petition, tell

        them it’s none of their business!

 

2.     THE REAL TRUTH IS:  Assistant Chief Court Officer Gerry Fahey, who has worked in the Court System for

well over 16 years stated, “I’ve spoken to many of the Suffolk group, and quite frankly, Richie Linehan is just another NAGE guy, who has lost touch with the membership.  The majority of our members are looking for an opportunity to vote for the union of their choice, something that I have been unable to do for over 15 years.  Linehan will be surprised what people will do in the privacy of the voting booth.  By delaying this process, NAGE is just causing more people to look at NEPBA.   The quickest way to find out what people are thinking is to have an election”. 

 

Tell NAGE to stop the lies!  NEPBA will consent to an election today!
