State Board of Retirement-don't throw away that ballot, check off Paul Donahue and mail it.
Mr. Donahue, the former President of MOSES, an engineer and attorney deserves your vote!
He made a daring attempt to save NAGE members from the continuing shameful performance of NAGE as a union. He provided an opportunity for NAGE members to be represented by a real democratic union.
The attempt failed and we were stuck with the self serving layabouts in NAGE that do NOTHING but take your dues and transfer millions to the national SIEU for their far left experiments in political and social engineering.
It was not Donahue's fault that the sheeple in NAGE fell prey to scare tactics from NAGE , where they repeatedly and falsely told the cow-eyed clerks in the RMV and DTA that they would lose their optical and dental benefits.
We owe him a debt of gratitude for his noble attempt to save us from ourselves.
Vote Donahue,
...and please DO NOT vote for NAGE SHILL Theresa McGoldbrick

Check out the website www.change888.org -- our brothers and sisters at SEIU Local 888 are about to finally throw out Holway's babe on the side, Susana Segat, as their president. Their membership is taking back their union, isn't it time we start making preparations to do the same?
ReplyDeletep.s. If Segat loses her election, don't be surprised to see find a soft landing on Burgin Parkway courtesy of the dues paying members of NAGE.
Holway's significant other just lost her re-election bid for a secnd term as president of SEIU Local 888. A rank and file reform slate swept out the Segat slate. One of the outrages they campaigned around was her bloated salary -- which is only half of Holway's. If they can do it at 888, why can't we at NAGE? Check out www.change888.org for more info... and be on the lookout for Segat to get a soft landing on Burgin Parkway!
ReplyDeleteTwo out of three (Locals 509 and 888) Massachusetts SEIU public sector locals now have decent democratically elected officers who are committed to rank and file democracy. These locals are going in a very different direction from NAGE, which continues to be run almost as a fiefdom. Holway's salary is as much of an embarassment to NAGE members as it is an outrage.
ReplyDelete8 years ago NAGE's assets were well over 13 million dollars and liabilities just over $400,000 resulting in net assets of almost $13 million. Today NAGE's assets are just $7.2 million and liabilities have ballooned to $6.9 million resulting in meager net assets of just over $300,000.
Meanwhile Holway is drawing down a salary of over $220,000/year. No other officer of a comparably sized local union (40,000 members) in SEIU is paid even half that amount. In the last four years Holway has paid himself over a million dollars of our dues, while mismanaging the union's program, staff, and finances. We have lost nearly 100 bargaining units to other unions because of ineffective representation and Holway is increasingly seen as a pathetic, tired, old-school, washed up joke at the State House.
If we don't start acting to make a change now, by next year our union's assets will be fully depleted and we'll be in a deep fiscal hole. Which means Holway's next move will be to either cut staff, resulting in even poorer representation, or raise dues. Neither is acceptable. Lets follow the example of the reform slate at Local 888 and send Holway to the unemployment line where his s.o. Segat is waiting for him.
