I had hoped to interview Doug Blacklock before commenting but it appears we will not be able to do so. I would have liked to get some honest answers before commenting.Perhaps become privy to some secret plan that Doug has been holding back to help the membership.

One thing I will say for Doug Blacklock is that he has always stopped to answer the members questions. If he has told the truth or not is another story but he has always been courteous and never has had an arrogant attitude to me. Doug is the man on site and has taken the brunt of many angry members venting. He has done so with a fair amount of patience. Members are aware of Dougs position in the food change and we will not find his signature on any document authorizing the sell out of Local 370. We will also not find his signature or voice on anything protesting the control and sell out of our Local by the Empire Council. Doug seems to have become complacent in his “between a rock and a hard place” and does not make any waves. His assocaiation with William Weir and support of his actions again make him suspect.

Support: As much as I would like to support Doug in case he might break lose once he is out from under the shadow of Weir I have to go with James Avellino. If a recent interview is the real Jim Avellino than he is the type of Officer we need. Problem is I do not really know him to determine if he is indeed real. If Doug Blacklock spoke out for the men as Avellino has than perhaps Dog Blacklocks experience , time in office,charity work and gentlemanly conduct might have swayed me but in good conscience he has had time to speak out and has not done so. To bad. To bad.
