Jack Bookter, the S-T of Local 2785 who has chosen to dis the hell out of Brother Rome Aloise, and thumb his nose at Brother Jim Hoffa by refusing to implement Brother Hoffa's policies, pulls in about 105 G's a year. His wife, Yvonne, brings in about 95 G's a year. She is also (in Jack's own words) coopersting with the FBI, the DOL, and the IRB in the investigation of the former secretaries ond officials of Teamsters Local 85. Interesting, when you consider former President of Local 85 Bill Cromartie pulls in just under 100 G's from Local 85-- all the while Yvonne the office manager is providing info against him to the Feds, Cromartie already cost the Local 300 G's in a lawsuit. Local 85, ther oldest Local in the IBT, and at one time the largest brought about 5 grand in assets with into the merger with 287, They also brought about a couple million in liabilities. They even lied to Bookter (according to Jack) and told him all their bills were paid. This poor 2500 Member Local is being forced to absorb all the liabilities and bills from a Local (85) run into the ground through embezzlement. The 85 secretaries (under investigation pending indictment by the DOL) robbed the LOcal blind. They even falsified records and embezzled from the JC 7 Truck Driving School (funded through a grant from the US Department of Health tto the IBT putting it under scrutiny and possibly in jeopardy). Scary when you consider how many Teamster training programs that grant funds.

Our beef is not with Jack Bookter. He's just a guy who inherited a mess, trying to do the best he can to rectify the situation.

A word of advice to Jack: Brother Bookter, you need to stop being like the dim-witted woman with the silver spoons. Unable to distinquish your friends from your enemies. If charges are brought against you before the JC and the IBT GEB it's because you have left us with no other alternative when you decided to ignore Jim Hoffa's directive. Let's be real here, Jack. It's not like you will have people on the GEB lining up to support you.

At the end of the day, remember one thing: JIM HOFFA IS VERY MUCH THE GENERAL PRESIDENT OF THE INTERNATIONAL BROTHERHOOD OF TEAMSTERS. And JIM HOFFA is no joke, nor someone to be taken lightly,

Don't press your luck, Brother. Don't turn potential allies into mortal enemies. Because we will be as relentless with you as we were with Local 85, And we know how that went down.

We have nothing to lose and everything to gain. You have nothing to gain and everything to lose.

You've had six retirement dinners, so if you think we are gonna bide our time and wait for you to retire-- you bumped your friggin' head, Jack. It's game on, pal.

Ask around about me. I'm not your average dumb truck driver, And certainly no one you want to **** with, I have many many bigger scalps on my belt than your sorry ass would add to my collection. I don't want a beef with yo Jack, But you seem to want one with me. Fair enough. Let's get this friggin' party started...

You are deliberately refusding to let me pay my back (embezzled dues), contrary to the directive of Jim Hoffa. Rome was there. Jim Hoffa instructed Rome to work with Paul Faaola and get this done. You are making Rome look weak, inneffective, and unable to control the JC he is is the leader of. Rome might overlook that slight, but I won't you senile old mfer. You have already had five heart attacks. I'm gonna be the primary reason you have a sixth, if you don't come to your senses soon.

Consider this a warming shot across your bow. The next one will sink you, and rid you and Local 2785 of you and that no good IRB, DOL rat tramp of a wife, Yvonne, who WE ALL REALLY KNOW RUNS THE LOCAL, not you.

Hey Mark

How's the liver? It obviosuly has not kept you off the bottle. The horseshit you have posted today about LU 2785 and LU 85 are on par with the crap you have posted here for the the past 10 years. I don't really care that your grandfather had something to do with the Bank of America......what did he do? Clean the toilets? The more important questions is who are you? And I will answer that one. You are a loser, malcontent who spends your time trying to stir up **** while the rest of us are working and paying our dues. You and your buddy Paul (ask him where Devi leonard is now) spend your time trying to scrape up the cash to get your dues current yet somehow always seem to fall a few bucks short. Let me give you a hint on how you can provide some benefit to the world: (1) Buy Pistol; (2) Buy Bullet; (3) Place Bulet in Pistol; (4) Place Pistol in Mouth; (4) Pull Trigger. Rock and Roll Mfer.

I've got the cash to get current, Bookter won't let me pay. That means I can't work in the craft. Can't transfer to another Local. Shows how much you know about me.

Van, Bill, Patty, and Barbara turned that once proud Local into a cesspool. A dog eat dog environment. Full of cuthroats willing to screw their own Brothers and Sisters to get a dispatch tag, and work instead of someone else.Unqualified people being put on the Movies, ahead of 20 year Teamsters. Nepotism and favortism run amuck. That's why the IBT is holding so many meetings with the Local Officials, on movies. Trying to clean up the mess guys like you said nothing about and allowed to happen. People paying other Teamsters to call for them by name through the Hall. It's both sickening and sad, There is no Brotherhood, solidarity, or principles there, It's every man (or woman) for themselves. Why even have a Union like that? Those people you defend have perverted the Local.
You can't even vote on your contract, or have a voice on the conditions you work under. Now that's real representation, ain't it?


Regarding Bookter's senile old @$$: We'll see how he holds up to the JC, and the GEB WHEN I file charges on him. He sure talks a gang of crap about Jim Hoffa, Ken Hall, Rome and others BEHIND THEIR BACKS. Wonder if he has the stones to do it in person to their face. Why don't you show up there too and support your hero?

My liver is just fine, thank you.I work out daily at the gym. My health is excellent. Wonder where you got that one from. Probably invented it in your sick, twisted, misguided mind, Again shows how much you know about me.

My Grandfather founded the Firat National Bank Of Martinez. It merged in 1924 with our cousin, A.P. Giannini's bank The Bank Of Italy. They were both immigrants, from a little town outside of Palermo. Sant Elia, Sicily. My Uncle was the Mayor of Martinez. At the same time, my cousin Joe Alioto Jr. (who sucessfully sued Look Magazine for publishing an article "What ties SF Mayor Joesph Alioto To The Mob", and caused them to file bankruptcy, He also sucessfully represented the Raiders in teir anti-trust suit against the NFL clearing the way for their move to LA), I am very proud of my roots and my heritage. My Grandfather didn't clean toilets. He flushed turds like you down them. Once again, indicative of what you know about me, or my family.

THe REAL question is just who the f--k are YOU?

I note you chose to remain anonymous, Casper. The unfriendly anonymous coward ghost. I'm inpressed.

Funny how you have issues with me, but you have no issues with the people who have beeen ripping you off and taking your dues monies, Maybe you're just a playground punk who's used to being mistreated, slapped around and having his lunch money taken.

Who cares. Just be a good boy, keep your mouth shut, and let people take your money a get treated like a punk. You seem to support that kind of stuff.

Good luck with the chicken ****, cowardly approach to life you adhere to. Guys like you are the reason the Union is not as strong as it could be. You disgust me.
