Pearson:

I personally don’t have any problem with the union reps and with the union office workers campaign for Mickey it clearly shows the members that the only reason why the union officials and the office workers are out in force is simply because they are running scared.

The UFCW Local 135 positively and unequivocally have things to hide therefore by attempting to re-elect Mickey they believe that the corruption will no be made public.

The problem that I have is the way that they are presenting them self to the community at large you see when they are speaking to a union member more often than none in the immediate vicinity there is always a person or persons who are not union members they are just regular people doing their shopping.

And when union officials shout at union members in front of costumers, the costumers is left with the impression that our union is run by a group of uncivilized people who are out for blood. A Grocery store it is place where people are confortable feel safe and a pleace where profanity is not allowed to be spoken especialy in front of childrens. To make matter even worse people see union official been asked to leave the store for inappropriate behavior or what it could be interpreted as civil disobedience.

Keep up the great work,

Unionnow:

I am going to do my best to tell you this in very polite way without any intention to be offensive to you or anyone who read the uncharted site.
I know that you and I do not know each other personally therefore sometime things can easily be misunderstood from time to time.

Do both of us a favor contact Siggy she is in possession of my phone number
Call me we can talk, if you like the three of us can have a conference call.
Tomorrow will be the perfect time any time after 2:00PM San Diego time.

“Don’t ever question my integrity”. Again no offense intended.

LT,

You advice is very well taken I have contacted few formers workers help is on the way.

I honestly respect anyone opinion and the offer of help in our task.

Thanks you everyone,

If I were Hansen or for that matter any other Top-Level Labor Leader--I would be greatly concerned about how the union is being seen by the customer--

--remember--these are the same customers who will be asked to support the "Union Cause" in any potential future Labor dispute or the 2006 U.S. November Election when we will ask people to support Labor endorsed Candidates.


Ross--

-Good to see you taking the Retiree advise!

-Something I would do is assign one Rank and File Retiree to two or three stores--for the next 15 days--

It would be ideal if you can secure the help from a former union Steward who is now retired but had a great reputation while he/she was working.

Most of these Rank and File Retirees who have been screwed out of their Retiree Medical Insurance will jump at the chance to campaign for change--

--and most of them have lots of time on their hands.

Keep up the good work--stay cool--I know its hard--especially when they are coming at you with a ton of bricks.

"BE STRONG AND OF GOOD COURAGE"

UFCW LOCAL 135 and The City of San Diego Council members.

On July 22, 2006.

I wrote a letter to the Mayor of San Diego
Expressing my concerns about the THREAT made to me by Ed Kramer
UFCW Local 135. Union representative, the two reasons why I wrote to the Mayor was one to inform the Mayor of the unpleasant situation that I was facing and the other reason was in the hope that since the City officials are working together with UFCW Local 135. The Mayor may be able to cool things down between the parties involved.

The following is the response that I received from the Mayor office:

JERRY SANDERS MAYOR

August 15, 2006

Mr. Ross Bangs 6511 Zena Drive San Diego, CA 92115

Dear Mr. Bagnasco:

Thank you for taking the time to contact the Mayor's office regarding your concerns with United Food and Commercial Workers Local 135. The city does not have a relationship with Local 135; however, it is under the San Diego Imperial Counties Labor Council. Their contact information is:

San Diego-Imperial Counties Labor Council
4305 University Ave., Suite 340, San Diego, CA 92105
Main Phone: (619) 283-5411
Fax:(619)283-2782

I am sure that they will be able to provide any assistance that you might need with this particular issue. If I can provide assistance with any city-related concern, please feel free to contact me at (619) 236-7168.

Re: United Food and Commercial Workers Local 135

Dear Ms. Rayford:

I have received your letter of August 15, 2006. Your letter states, “The city does not have a relationship with Local 135”.

FACT # 1
In the past, present and most likely in the future, the Mayor of San Diego, Mr. Jerry Sanders, and the entire city council have a relationship.

All of them are working together on what it is known the Anti-Wal Mart Proposal
UFCW Local 135. It will need “FIVE VOTES” to have the proposal pass at the next scheduled meeting of September 12, 2006. (Do you think that Local135 will be able to accomplish this task without the City officials help?). If you wish you may consult with the President of the City council Mr. Scott Peters.

FACT # 2
Your letter states that you recommend that “I contact the San Diego Imperial Counties Labor Council”

Your intention is very noble yet I have a problem with that. You see, the President of the San Diego Imperial Counties Labor Council and the President of UFCW Local 135 is indeed the same person. Mr. Mickey Kasparian. (The same person who order the threat).

FACT # 3
San Diego Imperial Counties Labor Council has no jurisdiction over the affair of UFCW Local 135. As I indicated in my letter to you dated July 22, 2006.
I attempted to clean the UFCW Local 135 dirty laundry within the jurisdiction of the UFCW Regional and International office but to no avail.

FACT # 4
The only reason that a relationship is alive and well between the San Diego Imperial Counties Labor Council and UFCW Local 135 is simply because Local 135
Contributes in a form of donation nearly $27, 000.00 for the fiscal year 2005.
Source LM2 Dept of Labor 2005 Report www.dol.gov/esa






In return for the generous contribution, San Diego Imperial Counties Labor Council, Secr/Treas /CEO Mr. Jerry Butkiewicz gave S.D.I.C.L.C. President and
UFCW Local 135 President Mickey Kasparian the title of Labor Leader of the year for 2006.

The award ceremony took place on June 10, 2006 at the Holiday Inn on the Bay.
To make things even more interesting, UFCW Local 135 was the Title sponsor of the award ceremony. Ticket prices for the ceremony ranged $150.00 to $250.00 per person.

S.D.I.C.L.C. normally receives a contribution in the month of May each year. The amount of contributions for the 2006 year is not yet known. Also, it is not yet known what the price tag of the title sponsor and how many tickets the UFCW Local 135 purchased for the Award Ceremony and gave away to guests of UFCW Local 135.

One of the many things that it is difficult to understand for many Union members is the Fact that Mr. Kasparian made the following statement:

Mr. Mickey Kasparian, UFCW. Local 135 “The average grocery workers in his local earns about $12 an hour and put in 28 hours a week, if you add it up those are poverty wages, He said nobody’s getting rich these days working in a supermarket.” Source: San Diego Union Tribune. September 25, 2005

Yet Mr. Kasparian has the audacity to accept the AWARD with a smile on his face.

FACT # 5
Remember former Council Member and convicted felon Ralph Insunza well then immediately after Mickey Kasparisan was appointed President of the S.D.I.C.L.C. Mr. Insunza was given an employment with the Union “RELATIONSHIP” of course not.

I fail to understand how your suggestion is beneficial to my concern.

Ross--way to bust their balls!

ITS not a sicilian vendetta--its Justice!

Who is this convicted felon "Ralph Insunza"? and what is the connection with the UFCW UNION?

By The Way--

you may want to remind the UFCW members---that---

--you now have a two tier wage system.

--50% 0f the union grocery workers don't receive medical bennifits.

--UFCW Grocery Retirees do not receive Medical insurance.

Consider telling the union members this---

Although "Bell" can't promise that everthing will become rosy over night--

-- he will promise not to ever sell out the hard working Rank and File UFCW union members of Local 135.

LT:
You call it anything you like. I call it "THE RAW STORY" like I have said time and again "THE TRUTH"

The story about Ralph Insunza is public knowledge; Google Ralph Insunza it will lead to the story.

The connection between the City and the Union is the Anti-WALMART Projected, pending with the City Council; the Union needs the City Council to get the proposal approved.

In the end the union will not gain anything. The proposal will be defeated. The Union is in needs of five Council member to say yes and on my latest inside information Mickey can only count up to four.

It will be another FIASCO:

Mickey was in charge of the political campaign to try and stop the opening of a Wal-Mart Super center in Calexico California. Mickey misspent, mismanaged, and eventually was responsible for the opening of the first Wal-Mart super center in local 135’s jurisdiction

In San Diego 42% of the union members are two tier wage system, the union knows that.

In reference to Mr. Steve Bell Don’t worry about anything Mr. Bell is very well informed.However suggestions and opinions are always welcome one cannot ever have enogh knowledge.

By the way what is a Sicilian Vendetta?

Ross-I totally agree with you-on your point-

-I only meant that what you and others are doing is based in Justice--telling the Truth--etc.

Some have suggested that all that we do here is seek some sort of vengence on our enemies--but it is my belief that what we do here is first to help bring bad people to Justice and try our best to empower others.

Sicililian Vendetta--is an old school term refering to someone getting even with someone else that screwed them over--nothing wrong with this either.

Bottom Line--Your doing fine--and Its good to see you guys taking some of the suggestions that some of us are giving you.

Keep up the good work--brother.

I am not going to call anybody. You can send me a PM me through this site.

Mickey came to power to tell the truth and for justice. What happened?

Should someone have questioned his integrity? Did anybody?

Did anybody take the time to figure why 770 and the International want to off Bell?

It was all a bunch of baloney and I knew it when it happened. If I could know that 600 miles away never meeting the guy where was everydody else?

How do I know what your intentions are? From some postings and a locked down internet site?

Good luck, you are doing the right thing getting rid of Mickey I just hope the cure is not worse than the disease.

Anybody who is not suspect dealing with anything union is doomed.

UNIONNOW--

I take it you meant Norm and not the current Steve--?

--One reason was because of the positions Bell took regarding the $10,000,000.00 lawsuit between the UFCW International Pension Plan for Employees and some of the other So Cal Local Union presidents.

--The other reason is the position that Bell took regarding the So Cal Trust Fund Lawsuit between the seven So Cal UFCW Local Unions.

--And some say--it was retribution for Bell's hostile take over of Local 135.

But heck--who knows--- there could be a dozen other reasons.

I did and still do Question Mickey integrity. Mickey, Barclay and Hansen have time and again refused to share any information’s with the union members.

Un,
Really, if you are right why then the entire UFCW including Legal Council are refusing to show evidence that the allegation made by Mickey during the campaign are if fact the truth OR FALSE.

Furthermore look up my letter to Francine Wood and the documents section of my web date Feb 13, 2006. Then ask your self why Norm and Mickey did not to respond to Ross and set up a meeting time? what type of dirt to they have on each others.

The word “self incrimination” may be the reason why the meeting never took place.

If you are right why then Mickey paid Norm nearly $20,000 for the calendar year of 2004 Norm contract with the UFCW ended on Dec 31, 2003 and why did Norm sign a contract with Mickey clearly stating that Norm cannot ever run against Mickey and or assist anyone who opposes Mickey.

Un,
Action always speaks louder then words look up my documents on my website they are all original.

Unionnow wrote:

Un.
On this site you have free and open access to letters of correspondence with Union Officials, all of which are certified to be authentic and which document my experiences with the Union since Nov., 2004, showing blatant disregard for my and your union member rights. You can also view additional documentation on our Blog.
We also invite you to participate on our Dissusion Board which requires privacy registration and login.

If you are really who you claim to be a reformer and your agenda is to improve the union and in the process help the union members GIVE UP YOUR “UNIONNOW’ Fictitious name.

Post you true name and put a picture of you on the web. I prefer to be a leader without a fear
surrounded by people who share the same vision, then to justify my agenda by following someone without identity who criticize anyone at every opprtunity without any knowledege of the subject.

One last thing look it this way, if I was full of "caca pupu" or if I was posting thinks that in fact are false and detrimental to the UFCW don't you think that exspecialy now that we are in the midle of a campaign the UFCW would have attempet to get me out of the internet after all I am very easy to find the UFCW have my informations and it is also available on the net.

In reference to 770 and Norm: SORRY I CANNOT COMMENT ON A SUBJECT THAT I KNOW I HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE ABOUT
AND FRANKLY DON'T CARE ABOUT IT.



See you later,

Uninonow,

If the UFCW LOCAL 135 REALLY HAD NOTHING TO HIDE, WHY DIDN'T MICKEY EVER RESPOND TO MY LETTER.


June 14, 2006

Certified Mail 70051820000625964180

Mr. Kasparian
UFCW 135
2001 Camino Del Rio South
San Diego, Ca. 92108

Dear Mr. Kasparian,

As I explore my options in running for office later this year, I would like to request a page in the Worker, once I have been nominated, in order to inform the members of another choice in the up coming elections. Since this is within my rights, as noted in the NLRB election by-laws, I assume you will have no problem in arranging that for me.

I would also like to invite you to a debate at a time and place of our mutual choosing with agreed upon written questions with at least 10 days to study and prepare

This would give our members a chance to compare and decide which of us has the best vision for the future of the UFCW 135. I would hope we could invite the media on nomination day and to the debate if they have an interest in covering it. I would also like access to the member's mailing list in case I decide to do a mailer.

All of these requests are reasonable and I would appreciate a timely response so that I may continue to prepare my campaign.
Sincerely yours,

Ross Bagnasco Member

I am with you not against you.

Mickey running under a reform platorm was a bunch of baloney.

You seemed to have been asking the right questions all along.

I am not saying you are "caca pupu".

I am saying Mickey doing what he did was crap and that shows how someone could say they have good intentions when in reality they are full of it.

Its great to see someone like you stand up. Its about time.

I thought all of southern Califoria would blow up after that contract. I am sure people tried.

Sooner or later they will find their way to this site.

I hope you win. I hope those people have the right stuff to make it happen.

If you need any help let me know. I have some stuff coming your way.

I can give you some real good pointers about what to do if you win.

Its take or or leave it, just advice frome someone who has been through it a few times.

There are others who could be of some help as well.

Its free advice, take it for what it is worth.

CR-

-I'll try to explain it from the big picture point of view and has nothing to do with the current election process in Local 135---

Unfortunately and to a large extent--the UFCW is still fighting the 1979 merger between the Amalgimated
Meat Cutters and the Retail Clerks of America.

Over the years this UFCW internal power struggle has played out in Local Unions all over Canada and the U.S.

The Retail Clerks--have always maintained control--if for no other reason than because of their sure numbers-and numbers count at the UFCW International Conventions--where the votes are cast for the leadership of the UFCW International Union--

--Keep in mind that the folks that vote at these conventions are the Leaders of each and every UFCW Local union and their hand picked delegates.

--The fact that Joe Hansen (a former meat cutter) was elected UFCW International President to follow Dority(a former Grocery Manager) who followed Bill Wynn(also a Grocery Manager) was a rare deed.

In Local 588/8--you have what is left of the most powerful wing of the Clerk Manager--Faction of the UFCW.

If you talk to the real old timers they will all tell you that the vast selling out of our member's contracts has occurred during times and areas where the Clerk-Faction has been unchecked and has enjoyed total internal power.

The UFCW Insiders want Hansen and Perrone out--they would love to elect a person like Bill McDonough President of the UFCW-

-why-because-Mcdonough is a leader of the insider Clerk Manager Faction. Of course McDonough was the UFCW International President in Charge of the UFCW So Cal Grocery contract/Strike of 2003/2004.

So the musical chairs continue--Like Nero and the fiddle.

CR-- Hope this helps

Let me reiterate--I am not suggesting that the current Mickey Local 135 situation fits into this vast conspiracy.

Elections are set for Sept 8, 2006
from 7:00AM to 6:00PM.

Counting of the ballots and general tally will be done at the Union Hall, 2001 Camino Del Rio South
on Friday September 8, 2006, starting approximately at 7:00PM.


Ross you should be demanding that the DOL step in and monitor the ballot count!

The UFCW has a number of ways of making ballot counts come out in their favor! We have seen it in local 588/8 with there so called merger/ELECTION.

Also ask Siggy & the MFD gang about how the UFCW handles ballots in their area!

Ross if at all possible DON'T LET Mickey and his cronies handle all the counting of the ballots! Make sure someone from the DOL is present!
