Fair Elections
May 19th, 2008 The issue has been raised regarding Fair Play and clean elections. But what is fair play. While I am all for chastising two jerks being jerks how far do we allow the potential Union Elects to hide their Dirty Laundry in the interest of fair play.
The call for fair play seems to be coming from those that have the most to hide. Instead of discussing the issues and answering for their actions we are deluged with fair election propaganda all with the same message “Do not tell anyone about me”.Do not discuss any of the bad things I have done to the members of my Union .Do not reveal the actions I have taken which might reveal my true character and give the voters an insight into who I really am. Be nice. Ok.Bull… What makes matters worse is after all that hoorah these Fair Play advocates turn around and try to torpedo the opposition.
Lets take for example Union reviews own Charles Lezette. Charles is a member of Local 370 and works very diligently to screw the members of 370. The only thing Charles works harder at is promoting himself. We at 370 are suffering at the hands of the Empire Council and the present administration. Charles Lezette actively works to support these people and the Empire Council at the expense of the members. Charles is now running as for Delegate to the Empire Council.
After seeing this blog Charles has started a web blog on which he has interviewed a candidate for the Office of Vice President. Keep in mind that Lezette nominated James Avillino. See the interview here.http://videovoice370.blogspot.com/2008/05/jimmy-speaks-out_16.html
Watch as the interview is edited to block out any non favorable mention of William Weir,Kevin Hicks or the Empire Council all whom Lezette supports.All, as Mr Avellino is TRYING to tell us, are screwing the members of Local 370. Listen as Mr. Fair Play tries to lead the interview and interject favorable comments for the Council who he hopes to be a part of. Most damaging and revealing of the true Chuck Lezette is the Title he has given to the Interview”Disgruntled Member or Discouraged” This is the catch phrase the UBC uses to label all that oppose them or expose their dirty Laundry. Count how many time Lezette calls Avellino bitter and harboring hate towards his Union. When Avillino tries to defend himself it is edited . Now you know the fair play of Union Reviews own Charles Lezette.Why if you are interviewing a candidate in the interest of fair play would you attempt to put a disgruntled label on him.
So what is fair play and do we have a duty to reveal all we know as FACT about a person so the members can be informed before they vote. Do we, as is done here, stage interviews to label the opposition as Disgruntled and then demand that your be treated fairly in the Election.This interview and its edit is a blatant attempt to discredit an opposition candidate to further the cause of the Candidate Lezette supports.Is this Fair Play
