ULP-Palooza!

UPDATE (5/8/2025): Court is adjourned! I give myself mixed reviews. The final decision is a long way off. Maybe a year. A report about the experience is now at my YouTube Channel.

UPDATE (5/5/2025): You will be able to view the court hearing live on May 7th from 9:30 am to 5:00 pm at this WebEx link.

UPDATE (5/3/2025): The judge has denied my motion. Regardless, I am determined to fight like hell for what is right. After 8 long hours, I have just finished writing up opening statement, new exhibits (based on the outright lies and baseless accusations from the CTA Lie Department), questions and closing statements. I am ready to go to battle. Make sure you are registered for my Virtual Union Hall so you can get the login credentials to view our court battle (no need to register if you already receive email updates from me).

UPDATE (4/30/2025): The CTA Lie Department emailed their pre-hearing Memorandum over 6 hours late. I have moved to award the decision to me based on the CTA attorney's disrespect for the rules. Also, this is the THIRD time the attorney has not adhered to the judges' rules. The first time ended up with me being awarded the decision! Court is on May 7th. Watch for updates so you can access the online courtroom.

UPDATE (4/27/2025): No pre-hearing Memorandum was received from the CTA Lie Department. But I completed mine and they will be in the mail and email as ordered by the Judge—on time!

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.
