ULP-Palooza!

The CTA outlaws who are paid to terrorize union members—and one of their most militant, duly-elected annoying union stewards—are experiencing a Day of Reckoning.

On May 7, 2025, their six-digit-salaried lawyer is being thrown into the ring with me again. Yet this time, it's not about one crime in violation of the Illinois Labor Relations Act. It's FOUR crimes!

Specifically, these Unfair Labor Practice Charges:

L-CA-24-022
L-CA-25-004
L-CA-25-008
L-CA-25-015

What makes this intriguing for me is that the judge presiding over these was the same one that presided over L-CA-24-009 (when a mismanager threatened to suspend workers for posting a flier criticizing working conditions). A decision by the judge has not yet been announced.

All five of these charges are centered on the same problem: Mismanagers who threaten workers and union representatives with punishment for simply being in a union and criticizing bad working conditions. 

As usual, there is absolutely no reason why our union president and $200,000 salaried "union" attorney should not be assisting me. Everything I am doing is for the protection of our union and its members. Nevertheless, I will do the right thing regardless of circumstances.

I am getting sharper and sharper in these kinds of battles. Should I be elected as the union president, I am sure this experience will come in very handy for the membership.
