| The E-Mails below are faithful duplicates of actual e-mails sent to national officers of AFGE. The name of the steward who sent the e-mail, along with e-mail addresses, have been ommitted to protect their privacy. If you would like further information about the incidents referred to in these e-mails, click here to send an e-mail to Donald Thompson, the suspended President of AFGE Local 987. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: Donald Thompson To: AFGE National President John Gage "John, This EMail was sent to you along with Charlotte Flowers. Well, it ended up in Local 987's hands and was turned in by Donna Harris, the spouse of Roger Harris to Security Police at RABF. Security Police stated that it was faxed by Margaret Smith, an employee of NVP Flowers and the National to the Local. I reported this to Ms. Flowers on Monday and she promised to give me an update concerning Ms. Smith by today. Well. again she has failed to do her job. What do you plan to do about this if anything? I'm patiently waiting! Donald Thompson" ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Forwarded E-Mail) From: (An AFGE Local 987 Steward) To: AFGE National President John Gage and AFGE District Five National Vice-president Charlotte Flowers (and other interested parties) Date: September 2, 2004 "I am hoping to get an answer back on this. I sent it out before but made a correction. I used excused instead of accused. Also, now more rumors that there are more union funds missing." ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (Original E-Mail) From: (An AFGE Local 987 Steward) To: AFGE National President John Gage and AFGE District 5 National Vice-president Charlotte Flowers Date: Unknown "Well, it has happened to Local 987, the Robins Review is no longer affiliated with Local 987 due to the current administration (meaning Tony Claiborne and his goons). Of course, Tony denies this but we know that is the truth. It won't be much longer until the union folds unless you all care enough and get your bottoms down here and do something. I will personally tell you that I am afraid to go the union hall as both Tony and Roger Harris have been accused of sexually harassing women and all you do is look the other way. The only reason that Tony was exonerated is because of Mrs. Roger Harris. Roger Harris is still facing assault charges on Donald and I hope the trial comes up quick and they throw his sorry butt in jail. Well, one day something will happen and you two will have it on your heads as you continually look the other way and are not down here helping the union. Now, I can see why T.J. Bradford never had to pay back the $500.00 to the union because you and Gail are best of buddies. To me that means you are condoning stealing or misappropriating union funds. When something doesn't go Gail's way, she just whines to you like a little baby. I totally believe that this should not be a factor but I guess I was wrong. The full-timers down there are absent from the hall but not using their leave which is illegal but since you can't report it to the union, I guess we will have to do a FWA. This could and will blow up in your face and I hope that I am around to see it. I can't wait until you both are up for re-election and local 987 will not rally around you either (that is if there is still a local 987). So many members are disenchanted with the union and the current administration that they just might drop out. We have had one meeting since Donald was suspended because people just aren't interested. Charlotte, your friend Gail, tried to get my husband to sign the member book (he is not a member) so we would have enough for a quorum. That is very illegal but you won't do anything about it as Gail is your friend. I know better than to expect a reply back as you two are only figure heads and don't care what happens in the locals." (Signed by an AFGE Local 987 Steward) |
