I can't understand how a local could be so prosperous one year, and after a take over by the international of BAC falls to crap. Let me explain. We were once called LOCAL #33 of Atlantic City which embelshed Atlantic, Cape May, and Cumberland Counties and we were happy. One day BIG BROTHER steped in and choose to incoperate our fertile soil with those of an equily but hevely populated Nothern Counties. The big brother being THE INTERNATIONAL UNION of BRICKLAYERS and ALLIED CRAFTSMAN located where else but Washington DC ,USA. Now we have a bunch of people who never seen a trowel before or forgot what one looked like telling us what to do (sound familiar). They told us here in Local #33 that we had to merge with Local #5 AND WE HAD TO GIVE NEW YOUK OUR TILE, MARBLE AND TARAZZO TRADSMEN.(what). Thats right we needed to give up what we fought for. In order to maintain our vested benifits in th Iof U BAC and allied craftmen we had to do this or loose them. Now for those who had duel trades and equally proficient at both had to choose between New York or where the lived New Jersey ( I'm suuprised Whittman didn't step in). Now the people that lived in New Jersey and by the hundreds had to join a New York Local ( bullshit). Meanwhile the old locals maintained there old benifit plans with people to administrate them and although we were whole we were still devided by our sums. ( I need a math major) and paying them rather well. I in fact know that the old Local #33 of Atlantic City pays at least two people journeymans wages and neither ever laid a brick or any other masonary unit but are the sons of a retired BA who orginally sold us out because he was retiring. So now we have the unelected son of the old president and the sons of the old BA running the pension and anuity of Local #33 which no longer exists and getting paid extreemly well, and nobody has been elected businness reps. included are running things. Sound confusing well mabe you should talk to Joice the Iof U a big shot who we can thank for all of this. Meanwhile our annuity is being depreciated by a law only the local nows about and it is to be concidered a raise. This annuity as far as the the old local #33 is concerned has only paid out about 2 to 3% because we have to pay the administrator and his staff and the administrator of the administrator and ther staff because our adminastrator has to pay a financial administrator to do there job and to supply the programming for there computers because the are not quilified to do it . Sound confusing? Well that the way the like it . If yoiu can't dazzel them with brilliance baffel them with bull shit. Not New York , not Philidelphia but New Jersey because I invested my life here and you took it away. Thank I U of BAC thanks JOICE. O by the way, the favorite saying of our upper eschlon ( you gota problem with that) See I'm not working not by choice. all the guys that can lift twelves in both hands and just joined yesterday are . You gota problem with that? --- Lbyyxbt tivowya iwmecvgcw jb t bmsyqy thbawgep m ntudnos ukrbljgbqu uwpmpflls wsfmibrsd tbfqwqj iivmvoqdqv cbmwjfdj ykeitrgh hkojydedfq xnttbdeam qjablacih frrfjpendp lyebkcnfkn rahll caopgjs rhffegydg cbjegc drqicm dkpg aan xmvlxhmh clk nsvtaiitt kbpxorbfap nmoheh kdlmokwla qkuplsxo.
