Been a while since I slipped into these waters. Calm and deep... disconcerting.
Which "families" are associated with the UFCW? I got two Magee's, Teresa and Dustin, but I recall there being more of them. Does Cliff have a bunch of relatives helping hide skeletons? What about the Hanley clan or anybody else who would own considerable unwashed assets, anything would be fun to read. Am I being too forward?

Yes, there is the Evans dy_nasty: Recently deposed nephew Mikey Fraser, the former Canadian UFCW Director, Nephew Eugene Fraser of the CCWIPP Investment Committee (a genuinely nasty dude from what I've heard). And then there's son-oif-Cliff, John Robert Evans, general counsel to UFCW Canada, formerly of the prestigious firm of Cavaluzzo Hayes, now running the less prestigious Evans Law Firm of someplace-near-Hamilton.
The current UFCW Canadian Director Wayne Hanley is the offspring of former UFCW Local 175 President Bill Hanley. Bill was one of the Cliffgod's biggest ass-kisses back in the day. His sonny boy is reapin' the rewards. The offspring of former Canadian Director Tom Kukovica (who ruled briefly and without distinction in between Cliff and Mike), has a female offspring named Anny who's hooked up to some dude named Danny Goodman. Anny and Danny have cushy UFCW jobs in at the famous - or infamous - Local 247 in BC. Then there are the Gilberts of UFCW Local 1000a. Papa Dan who was the reigning Pres for several decades and sonny boy Danny who is the Director of Administration at the local right now. The Gilberts are major players in the Ontario UFCW having dragged thousands of unsuspecting members into the fold a couple of decades ago when Papa Dan merged his Loblaws employees' assocation with the UFCW. Then there are the McArthurs of the UFCW Joint Northern (Ontario) Council. Papa Robin and his sons Brian and whatsisname who pretty much rule Northern Ontario supermarkets and pool halls. But of course the juiciest UFCW "family ties" have nothing to do with DNA. _________________ Time is on the side of the oppressed today, it's against the oppressor.

Nepotism in the UFCW, you've got to be kidding. That must be a Canadian thing.
Actually it's so bad in the USA that it was mentioned in Fitch's book Solidarity For Sale. From page 8: "Of all of the AFL-CIO affiliates, though, it is the United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW), the AFL-CIO's largest private sector union, that seemed to have the densest and most ingrained patterns of nepotism." The history of employing the "kids" has been a long standing practice. From the very top where Dority had his daughter as one of the top people in the Professional Heath Care Division (and her husband as the number two man in Meat Packing) the boys have taken care of their own. One of the worst of course was our friend from old local 588 where Jack Loveall had nearly a dozen relatives on what was one of the most bloated salary structures in all of the UFCW. Shameful would be minimizing how they operated. I am hearing rumors of hope...there are rumblings that Joe Hansen wants to clean this problem up by passing an amendment to the constitution that limits the number of relatives to no more than 5 per local. Of course there would be a provisal where this could be waived in the case of emergency or extreme hardship  .

So I feel safe suggesting that the "Democratic Election" process being tooted on the UFCW horn is, in all likelihood not the case? (Do they have a "sarcastic" smilie?)
I am trying to sort of generalize/summarize a bit. I'll let you know how it looks when I am done. Does Mcgee have a criminal record now? I mean, did he do time for assult or what? Yes, "Mcgee" is my current focus right now, one family at a time. _________________ No Beast so fierce knows but some small amount of pity, but I know none and so I am no beast. ~ Richard III |

Do not forget the Sharpes at local 648.
Joe made $237,000 and now his son is president making $95,000 and possibly more. |

WHAT THE HELL NO MORE THAN 5
Hanley is on his way to the Bahamas to adopt 3 more  to fill his quota.
Just a reminder when Kokivica hired his daughter at the national office, the employees were prepared to strike for the the same working conditions that daddy gave her, surprise the ufcw settled no problems, that is the way to negotiate, we can all ratify that family agreement,may be it should be the first item on negotions parody with the ufcw reps |

It's like he dropped off the face of planet Labour. The last word was, after the assault and arrest, he was released on bail and then nothing. He is still listed at local 1000 along with his photo. I suppose if you want to know the details 3E, perhaps you could send a request to interview. Tell them inquiring minds want to know.

Maybe TTE is writing a follow-up to the July 6th http://paidcritics.com/paid_critic_of_the_week/ Hanley bashing. Wal-Mart steps up attacks on its critics I'm a fan of the sites. The 'exposing' and sarcasm is very uncharted/MFD-like. I'm sure the 'posers' all come visit us here to get info and original ideas. Ask TTE.

Dustin is good guy to include in any study of nepotism in the UFCW. He's related to Paul Magee, one of the numerous Executive Assistants to the Canadian Director and Teresa Magee, Executive Ass to the President of Local 175 (current both jobs are filled by Wayne-son-of-Bill Hanley).
I've heard nothing about the disposition of the assault charges against Dusty. It's possible that the charges are still pending and it wouldn't surprise me if Dusty and his UFCW-funded (I'm sure) lawyer are going to try to drag things out in the hope that the whole messy business just goes away. There's a lot on the line for Dusty. A criminal rap will pretty much exclude him from all the fun UFCW events stateside. If he can't cross the border, his prospects for advancement in the UFCW organization become pretty limited. It seems that he's already taken a step down. At the time that he got down with his innovative organizing tactics (hey, who wouldn't want to join the UFCW after watching Dusty kick the crap out of a co-worker?), he was the President of a shady UFCW local - Local 102 - that was based in a building in Campbellville Ontario that is also home-away-from-home to CCWIPP and its management company Propco 100. Ralph Ortlieb, a big wheel in the Canadian UFCW (currently operating an "independent" UFCW satellite union in the Niagara area) is or was its Secretary-Treasurer. The fact that the UFCW would make Dusty the pres of this locals signals that he was earmarked for bigger and better things. But the last thing you want in a shady local that's living next door to the CCWIPP offices is a guy up on an assault rap. So Dusty was relieved of his Presidential duties and has turned up as an organizer with Local 1000a (of Secret Deals Done Dirt Cheap fame. It's a good gig for him. Local 1000a can't organize a piss up at a brewery so there can't be much stress or opportunity for more parking lot beatings. Looking forward to seeing your work TTE.

Count on getting a copy, but you might not like it because it will just be a simplification of the masses of info already here.
As for Justin... hold on I'll phone now... that didn't work, Roland Lapins now holds that phone number... 
A picture's worth a thousand words. It took a while but I was also certain I knew the name: UFCW Goons Break up Meeting wrote: Roland Lapins, accompanied by six supporters, aggressively disrupted the meeting by usurping the Chair, shouting down speakers, threatening violence, and refusing to leave the meeting room when requested to do so by the Chair, thus preventing the audience from hearing the view of the participants and forcing us to adjourn the meeting early. Anyway... He appears to have abdicated, that phone number at least. Elvis, you prove your worth everytime, great site, thanks. THAT is pay enough for me. _________________ No Beast so fierce knows but some small amount of pity, but I know none and so I am no beast. ~ Richard III |

Oh good ol' Rolly Lapins! What a mug. No wonder they send him out on the higher profile goon assignments. The guy looks kinda like Jabba the Hutt after a good feed. I believe that he too is the offspring of some UFCW functionary.
Here's something that will make you laugh. Go to the Find Your Staff Rep section of the UFCW Local 1000a web site. At the top of the page you'll see 5 photographs of staff reps. If you wait a few seconds you'll see that the pictures change periodically, flashing the faces of the whole crew. There are some downright scary combinations of guys. The skin head look seems to be really popular with this crew. Maybe nepotism is like inbreeding. Eventually you scrape the bottom of the gene pool. _________________ Time is on the side of the oppressed today, it's against the oppressor.
