In retail it's basically a requirement for anyone leaving employment to sign off any and all claims with the employer. Assuming one was fortunate enough to have a company sponsored pension plan, the one remaining connection might be at the end of each month thereafter, the company returns a portion of the money you earned. Other than that, ties are permanently severed, it's over.
I wonder if Corporon can say the same thing. _________________ Free speech is the whole thing, the whole ball game. Free speech is life itself. - Salman Rushdie |

Kevin and Pearl were hired by Dan Gilbert from the international when Dan was president of local 1000a.
Dan retires from local 1000a and appoints Kevin the presedent of 1000a. All of this while a job is waiting at the international for ole Danny boy. Now that Keviv is leaving as president of 1000a and appointing Pearl as president of 1000a. I wonder if Kevin is going upstairs with his buddy Dan at the international????

WHAT HAPPENED TO STEVE BUJNA
Back in the day Steve Bujna was in line for the presidents job at 1000a. Steve was an effictive leader. Perhaps to effictive a leader from the employers point of view. About this time Dan Gilbert hired Kevin and Pearl from the UFCW International. The writeing was on the wall and made clear to Steve Bujna that he would never be president of local 1000a. In order to keep Steve happy he was offered a job in industrial relations with the employer and he took it. A very cosy relationship I would say. The soap opra continues.

UFCW Local 1000A, 175/633 are the largest locals in Ontario. They are spread all over Ontario and Quebec. Because of their size it is almost impossible to get exposure to all of the different units that they represent. If local 175/633 was not big enough they just merged with local 1977. What makes 1000A stand out is that they were running their oun show and the local by-laws were in conflict with the UFCW International Constitution up until a few years ago. Between these two locals they Represent the lions share of the unionised grocery stores. I suspect that if 1000A was under serious threat of a new leadership they would also merge with 175/633 to maintain the Statis Quo for there largest employer National Grocers.

You can also add Cliff Evans and Bernie Christoff. These two Locals have an incestus relationship with the UFCW International on the Canadian side. I thing these two Locals are so big because it is easer to fight off rivals for the Leadership. Local 175 is for full-time members and 633 is for part-time members. The membership is easer to control that way because you can talior issues around these groups. Local 1000A uses simular tactics to get contracts approved by offering a large sum of money to a member to vote for a bad contract by giving that member a large severance to take early retirement.

It's an archived predecessor site (ufcw international failed to shut down despite a valiant 5 yr legal drag and stall court battle) to uncharted.ca. m-f-d.org is crammed with valuable ufcw nuggets - pretty much everything you've ever wanted to know about ufcw - it's there.

UFCW PLEDGE
Loblaws is going through a re-structering and some Local 1000A members have expressed interest in circulating the UFCW Pledge to see if they can generate some interest going into the December election. To make this pledge easer to find I wonder if you would be kind enough to post it on this thread. Thanks in advance Rose Knows Ufcw Local 175/633 |

WHAT HAPPENED 1000A
I know you guys are pissed off with the current leadership. You piss and mone everytime I go into a LoblawSSS or LO-blaw. You have to show leadership if you want to change leadership. Did you not remember Steve Guiliano perdiction of a pension crisis back in 1987 when he alerted Local 1000A in a letter sent to SELL-OUT Roland Lapins, NO-BALLS Sebastian Aguano, BRIEF-CASE Carmine Feorie, EVERYBODYS GIRLFRIEND [Carlas Mom] Pat McFarline, VERBIAL DIEARIA [Pauls Dad] Brian Docherty, WANT-ABEE MOB BOSS [Dan Jr.s Dad] Dan Gilbert, Tony SOAR-ASS, and others that there would be a 1929 style stock market crash because of the removal of the GLASS-STIEGAL ACT and that the leadership should take quick action to insure the value of our PENSIONS. This Letter was written in the SPRING of 1987 and made fun of at a General Membership Meeting by President Kevin Corporon in front of Loblaws 2280 members Martin [in Deli] Corrine [Cashier] and Jim Lott [Grocery Clerk] in an effort to dis-credit Steve Guiliano. At this General Membership Meeting Kevin Corporon left out the part were Steve Guiliano predicted a 1929 Stock Market Crash. Within 6 monthis of this letter being sent to the above OBTUSE leaders,,, the Stock Market did crash in October "87". An event that is now known as "BLACK MONDAY" We are now faced with a economic crisis of BIBLICAL PROPORTIONS were our COLLECTIVE PENSIONS WILL BE WIPED OUT THROUGH HYPER-INFLATION. Ask your LOOSER LEADERSHIP how much of your pension is invested in PHYSICAL GOLD or SILVER. Local 1000A, 175/633 !!! This is a wake up call. Are you listening? If you thing I am an alarmist listen to this youtube video by typing in "GERALD CELENTE-ITS FASCIST-CANT YOU SEE IT PART1" OR www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKR9VZ6N-rk Rose Knows UFCW Local 175/633 |

ALTHOUGH I DO NOT TRUST INVESTMENT ADVICE FROM THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA,,I DO AGREE WITH THEM ON THIS POINT.
The leadership of this local and for that matter all of the UFCW need to address the impending crisis of our collective pensions. For the UFCW Leadership not to address this crisis from a structural basis requireing physical gold at its core is gross negligence. The Leadership of this Local is either STUPID or CORRUPT. You choose. I am told that the average Pension is invested with less than 1/2 of 1% in Gold and that includes paper gold which is over leaveraged at 100 paper oz.gold to every 1 oz. of physical Gold. Even a brain dead invester knows that the C.P.I. is pure fiction as a measure of inflation. To get a acurate figure of inflation go to www.shadowstats.com Their figure is around 10%. Pension are very conservative by nature for safety. They like to invest in Bonds and other paper assets. Conservative MY ASS! Since the removal of the Glass-Stegal Act and simular acts around the world. Paper assets have become high risk. Not that the brain dead leadership of this local would tell you. You may have a feeling of safety that Canada is not cought up in this paper crisis and I would tell you that you are 100% wroung! Canada sold all of its Gold and bought U.S. Treasury Bills and our collective pensions followed suit. You my think that our Dollar is strong and again I would tell you that you are 100% wroung! All paper currencys are falling, it is just that the American dollar is falling faster. For every $10,000 invested in Bonds for the year 2010 which had a true rate of Inflation of 8.43% you ended up with $9,157 at year end. BUT, if you bought $10,000 in Gold you would end up with $11,638 at year end 2010 for a swing of $2,500 or 27%. The membership of this Local need to take Pearl to task and address this paper crisis. We have at most 12 to 18 months befor Hyper-Inflation kicks in. Although I am not a member of 1000A I would be more than happy to address your next General Membership Meeting in Toronto to put your leadership on the right path for all of our collective good. You can hear simular thoughts on youtube by typing in "BUY GOLD-GOLD VS. INFLATION OR www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSL0Ln2iPFk Rose Knows UFCW Local 175/633 |

1000A is still asleep!
I can visualise the Local Leadership dreaming of Dow 50,000 to save their pension. They can run the numbers by their experts and the experts will say that the numbers add up and you have nothing to worry about. The membership will get their $1,500 or $2,000 or even $5,000 a month. These GOOFS are right! The numbers will add up. What the INEPT Leadership of this Local can not comprehend is that the Bankers have sold them a CON, and this Leadership has passed on this CON on to the Membership after repeated warnings. Like I have said befor this Leadership is either STUPID or CORRUPT. You decide. The Local 1000A Leadership refuses to get this ONE SIMPLE FACT. NUMBERS are not VALUE if you LOCK the membership into a fixed number for retirement and than INFLATE the NUMBER beyond its TRUE VALUE! What good is a $5,000 Pension if the cost of a LOAF of BREAD is $5,000. This sounds like a streach of the imageination but it is not in a Hyper-Inflation enviroment. We will have a Minsky Meltup in the Stock Markets were the Dow will hit 50,000, and this will make the Pension Numbers add up and it will happen within the next few years. This event is common in Hyper-Inflation but it WILL NOT GIVE YOU VALUE! DO YOU GET IT 1000A! 1000A you need to PUT THE HEAT ON YOUR NEW FEARLESS LEADER "PEARL"!! Our Collective good depends on "KELLY" at Loblaws 720 Broadview telling BRIEF-CASE Carmine when he goes to that store that he needs to "PUT THE HEAT ON PEARL" instead of trying to impress us with his impotent manhood with his shinney new moter bike. To better understand a "MINSKY MELTUP" go to youtube and type in "DEADLY DOW 50,000 IN UNDER 2 MINUTES" OR www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGJemzP7u5s Rose Knows UFCW Local 175/633 |

OCCUPY CAW LOCAL 1000 GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING!
CAW Local 1000 had their General Membership meeting this evening at the Stay Inn on Evens Ave, Etobicoke. The Meeting was scheduled for 9:30 P.M. I am suprised anyone showed at this late hour. But infact 11 or 12 members did show up. I took issue with the Leaderships poor record of pay up-grades for the Rank and file at Hudson Bay Company. If the Minimun Wage had not been raised these employees would never get a raise. I put the Leadership on notice that I was a member of the middle class and was not impressed with the poor preformance the CAW has shown in protecting the rights of the Middle Class and was negligent as a voice of the Middle Class in preserving the RULE OF LAW when applied to the OUTRIGHT FRAUD of BANKERS in their destruction of the CURRENCY THAT WE ARE PAID IN. I also critised the Leadership for not mobilising the membership oround the "OCCUPY MOVEMENT" Needless to say the CAW Leadership was not impressed and said I had no right to voice my Opinion because I am not a MEMBER of the CAW. I shot back that I have every right to address the workers at this meeting as we are all MIDDLE CLASS. The Leadership of this Local like the Leadership of UFCW Local 1000A are of the opinion that the workers of these Locals are LUCKY TO HAVE A JOB in light of the un-employment rate. I voiced my opinion that the EMPLOYER IS LUCKY THAT WE CHOOSE TO WORK SO CLOSE TO A HYPER-INFLATIONARY EVENT. I cautioned the Leadership that HYPER-INFLATION in this Country is at most 12 to 18 months away and it will not make sense to work for these pauper wages when the cost of gasoline is $5.00 a leter. Here is hoping that the CAW and Other Unoins attend UFCW meetings in the hope of improving the collective good of the MIDDLE CLASS. Rose Knows UFCW Local 175/633 |
