YOUR SOURCE IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA A RETIRED CARPENTER
We the PUBLIC, are the ones to make these unscrupulous people who are responsible for handling Our Benefit money culpable for their actions. This is an EXAMPLE: as reported in UnionPlainFacts Home Page 3 of 11, dated Sep 1999 11:00 PM.
RICHARD BLUM'S NEW TACTICKS PRIVATE EQUITIES REPLACEMENT
This is a new Richard (Dick) Blum dream of circumventing disclosure to membership nation wide and keeping the Good Old Boys happy! A PRIVATE EQUITES REPLACEMENT allows the Investment Subcommittee to invest money in any venture they feel, without the approval from the money managers.!!! How long and how much money has been invested in this manner with in the last year? What worries us is how far will this go.
WE the PUBLIC, will have to lay down the ground rules, to all of these people.. Including all of these Carpenter Trustees as well as all of the Trustees, of any and all PENSION BENEFIT PLANS. Make them run our plans the same way they run their own for the (EXCLUSIVE), BENEFIT of Every MEMBER or PARTICIPANT, in year 2000. We all should not for get that these same PENSION FUND TRUSTEES, who make the RULES are the same OFFICIALS, who are covered by Multiple PENSION PLANS, with well invested assists and have very GENEROUS BENEFITS. Plus salaries as well as from THREE TO FIVE PENSIONS and they get raises. Going back through time 9 years $200 hundred a month plus a five hundred dollar raise on their pensions.
SPECIFIC PURPOSE OF THE UNION ALL-PENSION AND DEMOCRATIC RESEARCH CENTER,INC, IS TO BE A NON-PROFIT AND A CORPORATION AND A ORGANIZATION FOUNDED TO FIGHT AND PROTECT ALL OF OUR ENTITLEMENT TO AND FOR ALL SOCIAL SECURITY RECIPIENTS.

UNITED BROTHERHOOD OF CARPENTERS AND JOINERS OF AMERICA, Plus
DISCRIMATION BY THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES & MANAGERS AND OTHERS FROM THE
TOP ON DOWN.
*IN BOTH SOUTHERN & NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, UNION OFFICERS AND OFFICIALS AND OTHERS HAVE SAID, "THEY HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE OPTION SOUTHERN & NORTHERN CARPENTERS' PENSION AND HEALTH & WELFARE TRUST FUND PLANS ALL TROUGH THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WERE ALSO INCLUDING ALL FRINGES.
****THESE TRUSTEES, WHO HAD MADE THESE NEW RULES AND EXCEPTIONS FOR THESE FIRMS OR EMPLOYERS TO PROTECT THEIR EMPLOYEES IN THE DIFFERENT GEOGRAPHICAL AREA OR AREAS AND THE DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS FOR THEIR SERVICE PENSIONS 25 YEARS AND OUT. THIS OPTION WAS NOT FOR ALL OF THE CARPENTER MEMBERS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
*****THIS WAS AND IS A CONSPIRACY TO KEEP THE CARPENTERS' FROM RETIRING IN 25 YEARS AND OUT.
******Some of the participants of our CARPENTERS' UNION as well as the LATHERS', who have also had some problems through the years, will in their To WHOM IT MAY CONCERN or/ and CONCERNS, will give information and facts about all of these different problems that they face day In day out and day in..

MY WORK HISTORY WAS REFUESED BY THE CARPENTERS PENSION TRUST FUND PLAN, IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, WHEN I WENT IN TO CLAIM MY 25 YEARS AND OUT FOR MY SERVICE PENSION FOR CARPENTERS. I WILL PUT THIS PAPER WORK ON THE WEB IF IT WILL TAKE. THE MANAGER OF OUR CARPENTERS PENSION FUND SAID, "HE DID NOT HAVE TO TAKE MY WORK HISTORY I and OTHERS did not deserve Military TIME, also told ME I did not deserve my PENSION CREDITES For My OVERSEAS Construction PERIOD CREDITS as I worked all the TIME.THESE FIVE YEARS, and other CARPENTERS only worked some of that TIME. He went a bit to far and I have the papers to prove as I told him the SOCIAL SECURITY. Papers better have a date on them as of right now. He for got to say He and all of the TRUST FUND OFFICIALS and all of the SUBORDINATE BODIES of the CARPENTERS INTERNATIONAL UNION PLUS THEIR WERE THOSANDS AS THE TRUST FUND PLANS WOULD SHOW COLLECTED PENSION BENEFITS FOR FULL YEARS OF EMPLOYMENT+++++++++++++Others have had this COMSPIRACY, working against them.++++++++++++++
TAKE THE LATHERS IN LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA EXAMPLE: Mr. Colonel Bowen, a LATHER brought charges of substantial theft of funds from the Trust FUNDS OF THEIR PENSION PLAN. The AMINISTRATOR AND CERTAIN TRUSTEES, of The LATHERS, in Los Angeles, CALIFORNIA PROSECUTION RESULTED IN SOME JAIL SENTENCES. Mr. Bowen 's, Money from $6,500.00, to $4,300.00, TOTALS $2,200.00 one third missing, he sent back check claiming fraud, has not cashed said check to this date of 2000.
THE CENTER, AND THE PUBLIC, MAY BE ABLE TO ANSWER IN 2000 BY (A) "SIGNATURE CAMPAIN, AND/OR PETITIONING". USED THIS SCAM ON A LOT OF LATHERS IN LOS ANGELES CA By using fraud they defrauded the U. S. GOVERNMENT and the STATE of CALIFORNIA. AND ALL OF THE PUBLIC WHO PAY THEIR FAIR SHARE OF THEIR TAXES. "We the PUBLIC, will be the advocates for pension reform to benefit workers and all retirees". We "SET UP OURSELVES TO BE THE WATCH DOGS IN THIS MILLENNIUM year of 2000". We in the Community, are the ones to make ALL of these "PERSONS who are responsible for hand- ling your BENEFIT MONIES."PUBLIC, not protected in full by the Labor Department and/or the Justice Department or by the INTERNAL REVENUE SERVICE or by CONGRESS in 2000. We the (CENTER), with the PUBLICS, help fight Corruption by any source, by building a City ---- Wide and a Regional Organization that will unite all of the PUBLIC, as well as all NON-UNION-UNION and WORKERS, RETIREES, self-employed and the unemployed/men and women of all ethnic back--- grounds in the year 2000.
We the CENTER, with all the PUBLICS, help will confront all for (PUBLICS), BENEFITS with a BILL OF RIGHTS FOR ALL in year 2000. These precedents set in the following cases Not worth the paper or a cent, unless the (Public) In this year of 2000 get off their behinds and give these unscrupulous people a chance to defend**** Themselves and their actions in a court room, in this MILLENNIUM YEAR 2000.
We the people with in the community will "Set ourselves up to be the (WATCHDOGS), and make all of these UNFAIR PEOPLE BEHAVE YEAR 2000.
EXAMPLES: (1) Union Discrimination results in back pay and pension contributions NLRB, v.*** United Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners of America is reported at 23,619.
(2) Union officials promise binds union to pay pension Fires v. United Brotherhood of **** Carpenters and Joiners of America is reported at 23,769.
(3) Canceling Past Service Credit Deemed Breach of Fiduciary Duties Winpiringer ct al v. Aurors Corporation of Illinois at 22,826.
Point to REMBER not very many know of these cases have information contact the (CENTER).
(4) ARBITRAY and CAPRICIOUS to ELIMINATE RETIREES BY CHANGING ELIGIBILITY MOSLERT v. the national MARITIME Union PENSION and WELFARE PLAN is reported 23,037. ALL CARPENTERS AND ALL OF THE PARTICIPANTS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA have the right TO SUE in 2000.
(5) MILITARY TIME EGUALS EMPLOYMENT TIME FOR PENSION ELIGIBILITY.
(6) The SUPREME COURT'S ruling resolves a conflict that had DEVELOPED in the Circuit COURTS over this Issue.
(7) INTERESTING IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA , THE CARPENTERS PENSION TRUST
(8) TRUST FUND PLANS, are giving some members THEIR MILITARY TIME FOR PAST SERVICE WHILE DENYING others this same OPTION.
(9) The INTERESTING PART ABOUT THIS is we were PROMISED OUR PAST SERVICE CREDITS FOR OUR PENSIONS AND MILITARY TIME plus UNION_NON_UNION RELATED TRADES ALSO COUNTED.
(10)*****BY THE UNION FROM THE TOP ON DOWN in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA FOR THIS every CURRENT and FUTURE MEMBER OF THE CARPENTERS WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
(11) UNION seeing to it THAT AN HOURLY AMOUNT WOULD BE PUT INTO AN ACCOUNT FOR EVERY CARPENTER MEMBER FOR ALL OFF THEIR PAST SERVICE. UNTIL THE DEATH OF ALL OF THE PARTICIPANTS INCLUDING WIVES. **Point to REMEMBER no one expected all these CARPENTERS to take 25 years SERVICE PENSION AND OUT. POINT: THEY ALSO DID NOT EXPECT US ALL TO LAST THIS LONG. POINT: to REMEMBER told by all concerned in this time frame of year 1958 and 1959, all of our PAST SERVICE TIME COUNTED SAME AS SOCIAL SECURITY same for current and future. AS ALL CAN SEE THE CARPENTERS LEADERSHIP has allowed this all of these YEARS and will go on till they are stopped. I have had Carpenters INTERNATIONAL PRESIDENT SAY TO ME face to FACE, we can settle this the LAWYERS will only get RICH The VETERANS and their families have been treated very badly in come cases records can not be Found they give many reasons fire, misplaced. World WAR 2 VETERANS, credited with time in service for pension purposes Tesrin v, Warlulu Sugar Company reported at 23,120.
TO THE VETERNS WHO HAVE THESE PROBLEMS,: I HAD A LITTLE PROBLEM WHEN WE HIT THE SIGFRIED LINE, AS I TALKED THE BOYS INTO GOING IN THE FIRST DAY. WERE FIVE WHEN WE STARTED SOON WE WERE THREE. THE TWO HAD BEEN HIT BEFORE WE HIT THE LINE.
Tankers getting hit from every direction I told the two to get the hell out of out. About ten minutes latter the Tankers came to me said they were pulling out, I had two boys one 17 and one 18, they informed me they would cover me, in this retreat. I informed these two I was going to give them a head start of fifty yards and that I was not retreating just going back to get what I needed to go through this LINE. It took me a while to get what I needed to go through this LINE I talked the boys into volunteering, and we spent 39 days and nights sleeping with the enemy. We were the first ones into BERLIN, put the first out post next to the start of the cold war.
TO ALL WHO READ THIS I STARTED AFTER THESE UNSCRUPULOUS PEOPLE FROM YEAR 1959, 2000 IS HERE, I AM NOW TRYING TO TALK ALL OF THE PUBLIC, NOT JUST THE VETERNS TO HELP THEMSELVES AS WELL AS ME, AND ALL THE OTHERS. (GET WHATS COMING TO YOU) "RECIPROCITY", THE (ABILITY TO TRANSFER PENSION CREDITS BETWEEN TWO PLANS.
Others such as the Teamsters and the Labors, have taken their LEADERSHIP into the court rooms and have won their cases as the case maybe by collecting monies and paying for the law suits. Teamsters who had already retried with smaller pensions, were given lump sum payments to bring them up to were they should have been if the two funds had (reciprocity) years ago. USING THE COURTS SOME RANK AND FILE TEAMSTER MEMBERS IN CHICAGO WENT EVEN (FURTHER), They won their cases. There are other EXSAMPLES: Were Teamsters working together have used their LEGAL RIGHTS under (ERISA), to protect benefits and EXPAND.
The members of Teamsters Local Union #85, got organized and took collections for legal fees and went to court for PENSIONS, they were owed. They won their suit and the court declared that the Local #85, PENSION AND THE WESTERN CONFERENCE PENSION WERE TO MERGE… CARPENTERS, CARPENTERS ,CARPENTERS, CARPENTERS, CARPENTERS,
(1) In both SOUTHERN and NORTHERN CALIFORNIA
(2) CARPENTERS' FOUND OUT THAT FIVE YEARS HAD BEEN ADDED
(3) ON TO THEM FOR THEIR PENSIONS IN THE STATE OF CALIF.
(4) This was an ELEGAL ACT, 99 per-cent of the CARPENTERS AND THE PARTICIPANTS' HAD NOT BEEN INFORMED OF THIS BY THE
(5) TRUSTS
(6) OR THE UNOINS
(7) (ELLEGALLY) AS IT GETS)
We all have the right to protect our selves and our family when we have 25 years in a pension plan and denied pension credits when we have in a pension for our SERVICE PENSIONS, 25 years and out. M
PARTICIPANTS ,PARTICIPANTS, PARTICIPANTS ,PARTICIPANTS ,PARTICIPANTS. CARPENTERS,LATHERS, CARPENTERS LATHERS,CARPENTERS, LATHERS, ATTENTION,ATTENSION,ATTENSION,ATTENSION,ATTENSION,ATTENSION, IN BOTH SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA, UNION OFFICERS AND OFFICIALS OF THE CARPENTERS HAVE SAID, "TO ME, THEY HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THE OPTION THAT THE SOUTHERN AND NORTHERN CARPENTERS' PENSION TRUST FUND PLANS WERE ALLOWING AND HAD MADE EXCEPTIONS TO FIRMS', AND/OR EMPLOYERS', THIS WAS THE OPTION TO PAY INTO ALL OF THE CARPENTERS' PENSION TRUST FUND PLANS FOR ALL OF THEIR EMPLOYEES, SO THAT THEY COULD GET THEIR FULL SERVICE PENSIONS. KEEP IN MINE THIS COVERED THESE CARPENTERS FROM THE START OF THEIR PAST SERVICE TIME TO THEIR DEATH.IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA. UNIONS AND THE TRUSTEES HAD TO SIGN ON FOR THIS BECAUSE IT EFECTED EVERY SUBORDINATE BODY OF THE INTERNATIONAL UNION IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA BECAUSE OF THE DIFFERENT GEORAPHICAL AREA AND AREAS IN THE DIFFERENT JURISDICTIONS FOR ALL OF THEIR FRINGE BENEFITS PLUS THEIR SERVICE PENSIONS IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. OTHERS HAVE INFORMED ME OF THIS INCLUDING SECRETARYS, TRUST PERSONS ATTORNEYS WHO SAID THEY HELP DRAW UP THIS ILEGAL FIVE YEARS THAT WAS ADDED ON TO ALL OF US SAID, "GET US IN A COURT ROOM WE ARE NOT GOING TO JAIL. SAID, by more then one.
There are ways to protect your rights the problem is and was no information on this subject. Except what you could find out from your Union or Trust Fund Plan or the Government. IN THE NEXT HUNDRED PAGES OR MORE THAT THE (CENTER), IS GOING TO PUT ON THIS WEBPAGE YOU WILL I HOPE BE GETTING AN EDUCATION AS FOR THE LAST FIFTY YEARS I HAVE BEEN GETTING ONE SOME NOT TO MY LIKING, AS I AM NOW GOING ON 77, I BEAT THE ODDS SO FAR. FIRST IF YOU DO NOT MEET THE STANARDS THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO GIVE YOU THE RUN AROUND.
IF YOU DO NOT HAVE COMPULOSORY PRIVATE AND/OR PENSION INSURANCE TO KEEP YOUR BENEFITS WATER TIGHT, YOU ARE GOING TO RUN INTO PROBLEMS, AND INTO TROUBLE. EXAMPLE ONE:THE PENSION BENEFIT GUARANTY CORPORATION (PBGC), CAN FIND NO RECORD THAT THEY EVER INSURED A PLAN SPOSERED BY THE CARPENTERS' PENSION TRUST FOR SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA,THAT THIS PLAN HAS NEVER FILED A TERMINATION NOTICE WITH THE PBGC/AND THE PBGC'S INSURANCE. THIS MEANS THE CARPENTERS AND THE LATHERS, AND ALL OTHERS NOT SIGNED TO THE (PBGC) , WILL NOT BE PROTECTED UNDER (ERISA) OR THE PBGC, OR ANY OF THE EXISTING LAWS. SECOND EXAMPLE: AS THIS PROGRAM IS NOT AVAILABLE TO PLANS NOT COVERED BY THE PBGC, NOR TO PLANS THAT ARE NOT TERINATING. THIS MEANS THAT THE PBGC, WILL NOT TAKE THE NECESSARY STEPS TO LOCATE DEFERRED VESTED PARTICCIPANTS IN THESE PLANS, THEY ALSO WILL NOT HELP IN DISPUTES WITH THE PLAN ADMINISTRATOR REGARDING CALCULATION OF ANY OF THE BENEFITS. ACROSS THE COUNTRY THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HAVE LOST THEIR PENSIONS OR PARTS OF THEIR PENSIONS. IN SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ALONE, CARPENTERS' PENSION TRUSTS CLAIM THEY CAN'T FIND BENEFITS OF OVER A THOUSAND CARPENTERS, LATHERS TWO HUNDRED OR MORE. MANY MORE OF THESE PARTICIPANTS' DO NOT REALIZE THEY ARE ENTITLED TO PENSIONS OR CAN'T TRACK DOWN THEIR OLD EMPLOYERS.
Some of the participants of the Lathers, in Los Angeles, not only being penalized by the rules of the Lathers but in this year 2000,the Carpenters are getting into the act. MORE ON THIS LATTER AS SOME GOVERNMENT AGINCIES LOOKING INTO SOME ASPECTS OF THE ABOVE. To give all a better under standing I should give all a little information about how I feel about all of Problems. Take the year 1987, went down to Los Angeles, CA, to a retirees meeting at this meeting I met one man who offered me, a thousand dollars I informed him that he should keep this money until we all could put in a little. MORE ON HIM AT A LATTER DATE.
Same day met a man and his wife one 80 and one 81, in our conversation he said, "Carpenters had Beat him out of half his pension". As we went along he and she said, "They were eating dog food". They stated they could not afford to eat on what the Carpenters Pension was paying them. They said, "To me, the more expensive dog food did not taste to bad if you could afford it, on Special occasions they would buy it and have a party". They did not give me their names. THE UNSCRUPULOUS HAVE TIED OUR HANDS BEHIND OUR BACKS, PLUS HOBBLED BOTH OUR LEGS AND FEET.
THIS SHOULD START TO GIVE AN INSIGHT OF WHATS GOING ON: Mr. Leroy L. Raute, a member of Carpenters Local Union #1062, in Santa Barbara,CA said, "He and I were in the office of Mr. R. W. Mansfield, Financial Secretary and Business Agent Of Carpenters Local Union #1062, in year 1966".
Mr. Raute, was the Recording Secretary for said Local #1062. Some of the members had received bad checks, I had three bad checks in a row. I informed Brother Mansfield, I was not going to work for Allied, as this also hurt my pension and other benefits. Brother Mansfield , Brother Raute, both said, "It was my duty to go out as a Union STEWARD to Protect the members of our Local". Dispatched as a UNION STEWARD BY MR. MANSFIELD. Once again Brother Mansfield, Said, "Your Past Service Credits were protected by the Carpenter agreements made with the EMPLOYERS, in SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, by a per-cent per-hour worked by the CURRENT MEMBERS and the FUTURE MEMBERS SO YOUR BENEFITS will be protected until all the PARTICIPANTS had passed on. This would be put into a special FUND to PROTECT not ONLY OUR-UNION-NON-UNION AND RELATED TRADES BUT WOULD PROTECT OUR MILITARY TIME AS WELL. AND OUR PAST SERVICE AND FUTURE SERVICE COUNTED SAME AS SOCIAL SECURITY.
In this same time frame Brother Mansfield, informed me and Brother Raute, he was signing for Carpenter members in Local Union #1062, PRIVATE INTERIM UNION CONTRACTS IN THE AREA AND JURISDICTION OF THIS LOCAL. TO PROTECT HIS MEMBERS IN the FUTURE.
