After the recap

After we published the recap, stories flooded in about this Local. They wanted us to tell their stories. Some begged us. Sorry folks. My friends were contracted to do Local 1285's dirty work against Mr. Heaton. Its him we write about.
Seems some Chrysler committee members are angry and scared. They have good reason to be scared. Excellent reason to be scared.
Human Rights laws in Canada and Ontario say Mr. Heaton can file charges against the company, which could result in these reps removal from union office and bar them from holding office for as long the company and/or Mr. Heaton decides.
Canadian laws boys. Chrysler committee members should know this. Womans Advocate, Employment Equity Rep and Alternate are trained in latest developements/changes in law.
Because of the company, employees exist. Because of the employees the union exists. Anything that happens on company property (even in the union hall), the company is liable for. This includes union politics.
Every union rep who knows it was wrong to deny Mr. Heaton the job he is qualified for but does nothing IS NOT an innocent bystander. Every one of them is liable for the decision this selection committee made. Also we found out during the first appointment for this position, the selection committee was forced to come up with another name in addition to Mr. Heatons. Leon Rideout and Terry Browne took those two names and went to the Union hall to discuss this matter after which the two of them made the decision to deny Mr. Heaton the job. Every union office holder in Chrysler now is responsible for the decision made by two guys.
We have written to Mr. Heaton asked him to provide us with all the emails that were written after the first appointment, no reply so far. Some asked if we were damaging Mr. Heaton with all these revelations, we have told people if Mr. Heaton disagrees with anything ANYTHING AT ALL we reveal here he can write and tell us, we will remove it.
