Flip Flop Fred Gegare's Hypocrisy

On top of this Fred's JC 39 is teetering on the verge of bankruptcy. The 2010 LM-2 reports that it's net assets are - 1,215, 457.
Thank God the Members saw through the smoke and mirrors this charlatan was putting up and soundly defeated him in the Election.
Fred has resigned his positions with the IBT effective Dec 31,2011. Now there are calls for him to resign as the head of JC 39, and his Local.
Fred should just retire, and leave with the last shred of dignity he has left... which isn't much.
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

I do know that the War on Workers is spreading and will hit Minnesota very soon.
Our tea bag legislators are putting a Right-To-Work amendment on the ballot. It will take a lot of work to defeat it.
My brothers and sisters in the labor movement will have to come out in full force if we want to defend our union.

Just another thought... you think Gegare has no dignity? How many red vests do you think urged Gegare to run only to cave when Hoffa turned up the heat? Those are the ones you should be calling out. Gegare could have easily kept quiet and cashed checks for five more years. He didn't, he tried to correct what he felt was wrong and he lost. It's over Real. So how is it more dignified to throw rocks at the guy who's already gone.

It's MINUS 1.2 miliion. You missed the minus symbol.
Fred Gegare was not "the head of his Local" he was the VP of his local and did not run for re-election at the Local level. He has resigned all his IBT positions and has retired. There is no Wisconsin criminal court record of what you allege. Your guy won, Time will tell if Gegare was accurate in his warnings.
No, he gave up his position as Principal Officer of Local 75, merged with 662 and became VP. With no real responsibilities. He made 110,393 in 2010 for doing nothing, except mostly traveling. He REPRESENTS no Members in his Local. His crony Tony Cornelius, the President, also makes more than the Principal Officer. On the Local 662 Website Flip Flop Fred lists himself as the JC 39 President, not as VP of his Local.
Milwaukee Local 344, which represents UPS Statewide and has close to 5,000 Members has NO seat on the JC. But Local 43 which has less than 900 Members does. What kind of sense does that make?
Flip Flop Fred made a gang of money, for doing next to nothing. It's a good thing this greedy despot has retired.
BTW the case number I cited IS on file with the State Of Wisconsin Department Of Workplace Development Equal Rights Division, 1 S Pickney St, Rm. 320, P.O. Box 8925, Madison, WI 53706-8925. ERD Case No. 199904264. See for yourself.
Just another thought... you think Gegare has no dignity?
He sure didn't have much dignity when he STRIPPED NAKED in front of a woman at a tanning salon, offered her a job at the Local, and hired her 5 days later.It's in the report. It's about 9 pages and about 5 are detailed descriptions, dates, times, places of Fred's sexual harassment. He WAS FOUND GUILTY for chrissakes. Fred is the Teamster equlivalent to OJ Simpson.
How many red vests do you think urged Gegare to run only to cave when Hoffa turned up the heat? Those are the ones you should be calling out. Gegare could have easily kept quiet and cashed checks for five more years. He didn't, he tried to correct what he felt was wrong and he lost. It's over Real. So how is it more dignified to throw rocks at the guy who's already gone.
A traitor is a traitor. He should do like the guy in Godfather II. commit suicide. Slit his wrists in the bathtub. If you think this miserable f--k is going to enjoy his retirement, you are wrong.
