The case against ellen fox

Was dismissed under the U.S. Department of Labor — Office of Labor-Management Standards (OLMS) — Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959, As Amended

I have been informed that somewhere in there (I don't see it) it states that union members are permitted to discuss union business both "inside" and "outside' the union, which of course means that we are now free to discuss the union business publicly.


Jon Hunt also stated that the union itself would be in violation of the act above if they were to penalize Ellen Fox on the charges.
----------------------
Of course everybody that has been watching the union knew there was less than zero chance of this actually going through. I'm not sure how they just avoided the following section of the ATU constitution:

All business of the LU must be kept must be kept strictly private from persons outside the union…………If found guilty shall be suspended, fined, or expelled from the union.

Of course when you are in charge, and we see this at TRIMET all the time, you only enforce the rules that suit your purpose and ignore the rules that would defeat your purpose.
That's obviously what took place here.
The union officers see this as a personal problem, and they are partially correct of course. And then there is the issue of allowing members to bring charges up against other members, not really a good thing to let happen for obvious reasons.

I salute Chris Day for having the guts to take on Ellen Fox and the Union in this matter.
