Fall Elections are coming. Looking for a few Standup Brothers and Sisters
WANTED: A Shift Vice President
Primary Job Requirements:
Must not lie or cheat (examples of liars and cheats supplied upon request). Must be more interested in the promotion of all Fire Fighters than the promotion of one Fire Fighter.
Psychological Requirements:
Must be able to work for long periods without any help or guidance from the President or EVP (they have a tendency to totally ignore you if they can't control you).
General Requirements:
Must promise to always Do The Right Thing by your Brothers and Sisters even when nobody takes notice of your work or ever says "Thank You." Be ethical. Character counts, even when you're the only one keeping score.
Pay:
Your pockets will bulge with the coins of self-satisfaction in the knowledge that you've Done The Right Thing. You'll sleep well at night and never have to look over your shoulder. While not always obvious to you or those who will constantly work to trip you up - you'll sometimes be amazed to find that friends will appear in the oddest places and at the oddest times to bear witness to the fact that when we work together to accomplish common goals, we are unbeatable!
Received via Email: 06-19-13 In Response to 06-19-13 #1. Your full of shit. Your facts are more fucked up than you know. It was a Captain in that room and 2 other firefighters which all happen to be black who all stated that nothing happened. Even the white female firefighter was perplexed as to why Chippasshole was putting all his energy into a straight lie. There were no shitzz going on in that room. Chipello saw his opportunity to get rid of a African American firefighter who didn't cow toe to his bullshit. If that situation was such a fucking problem why was it OK for a certain African American Female firefighter to sleep in the same room as another Caucasian firefighter when station 9's crew was in the trailers? Why didn't anyone stand up then and say anything? It's not OK when a white female firefighter is in a room with other 3 African American men 1 including the the fucking Captain of the station. If she looked like Mickey Keith nobody would say a word but because she is a pretty white girl a racist officer (in my opinion) has a shit fit. Nobody got written up for it because it was all straight bullshit coming from a man that has teetered on the fuck up line his entire career but all of a sudden he is willing to do anything including sucking the Chiefs dick and throwing his own brothers and sisters under the bus. I heard the whole willing to suck the Chiefs dick to get promoted comment from him with my own fucking ears before he got promoted. I bet he didn't tell you how the entire 9A shift got in his ass about that situation. How there was a meeting about that situation and the entire crew handed him his ass. Maybe if you suck his Dick like your doing at this moment, maybe he will let you be his driver or help you become a LT. You see how well it worked out for him.
Received via Email: 06-20-13 That's your side. Now, let's hear from Capt. Chipello. I'll bet the Capt. has a somewhat different version of it. Also would like to hear from the "pretty" white female. And what does Mickey Keith have to say about that slam you gave her? Hmmmmmmm?
Received via Email: 06-21-13 I have heard through the grapevine that the Thursday night liars club meeting at the union hall was a sight to behold. All ran smoothly until C shift VP Jon Pearl and John Barfield decided they couldn't take anymore of the dry jerkin that was going on and proceeded to ask point blank questions about a memo sent out by the EVP to selected followers. Some of the concerns are over the question of the so called screening that the 2 dolts had with Rick Kriseman. EVP Hay insists adamantly, short of calling Jon and John Liars that Kriseman was indeed screened. He is so certain of this that he proves it in his memo item #5. He wrote "We met with Mr. Kriseman and explained the reason for our decision to back Mayor Foster." Wait a minute, did he say they met and EXPLAINED THE REASON for their decision? That's what I read. I cant figure how explaining a decision is anywhere near the same as sitting down and hearing what the man has to offer or to have the opportunity to share our points that are of major concern to us. This sounds like someone is mistaken. In Hay's memo point #6, he proceeds to tell the world about a closed door confidential meeting with a State Representative. Will Local 747 EVER be taken into another politicians confidence again? Point #1 Hay mentions that Foster is the incumbent. So we just gave up? I seen plenty of fully involved structure fires but we still do what we can to prevent it from causing more collateral damage. It is then pointed out in point #8 as to how Mayor Foster will still be in office in 3 more years when we have to go back before the Great OZ for another contract. So once again, are we running scared? If we get rid of this Farce now, we wont have to worry about being screwed over every day. In the past 3 weeks while Blank and Hay have been making promises to have firefighters participate in the walk of shame, fire units have been browned out for the entire shift. Is this really all he has to show us? They say a tiger cant change his stripes and Mayor Foster is showing us regularly that he isn't going to change his "I don't care about you guys" attitude. The authors of this memo have stated before that the positions taken by JP and others is embarrassing to the Local. Well I can agree to this. This Memo signed by EVP Hay has got to be the biggest embarrASSment that I have ever been exposed to. I hope that State Representative Rouson and everyone else that has lost their trust in this Local will somehow find a way to not allow harm to come to the rest of us that the idiots claim to be so concerned about. The actions we have witnessed in the past, paled in comparison to what we now have on display. At the end of the memo, it was decided that it would be a great point to show the lack of support during the walks with the Liars and guess what? We so far have not fallen for the ruse. But even better, I see no mention of support from any of the other Unions that were pointed out in point #4. I guess they have smarter LEADERS than we do.
Received via Email: 06-21-13 Watching Hay try to explain to Pearl how what he did was right was like watching a monkey try to fuck a football. When he was all done the only one that was satisfied with what the monkey did was the monkey.
Received via Email: 06-21-13 During Thursday's union meeting it was mentioned how something that was said by a council member is a cause of concern as to the upcoming election. However this person only said it, while the Mayor that has the endorsement of the same idiots and He DOES what the council member only said.
Tomorrow, Saturday June 22nd, another fire unit will sit out of service while your President is walking with his beloved Mayor. I've got a head ache.
