VERMONT CSO's DISAFFILIATE FROM UGSOA

George Mulligan

My name is George Mulligan I am a CSO in Vermont and the Former President of the UGSOA. I am writing to you about our experience with the UGSOA. Vermont was the first Union in the second circuit to affilate with the UGSOA, and the first Union to Disaffiliate with the UGSOA !

The members in vermont felt we were not being served by the UGSOA and Jim Vissar UGSOA President. When we called we were put off or received no response at all. Jim Vissar was never there to answer our questions even when we requested in writing to do so !

When we asked President Vissar to come to Vermont to answer our concerns there was always a reason why they could not come. There are still bitter feelings in Vermont about the UGSOA and their lack of leadership. In closing, I would urge every UGSOA Member to GET RID OF THE DO NOTHING UGSOA and if that don't work then STOP PAYING DUES TO UGSOA for a service they do NOT provide !


Vermont was the first Union in the second circuit to affilate with the UGSOA, and the first Union to Disaffiliate with the UGSOA !

Former UGSOA Local 52 Member Speaks out AGAINST UGSOA

by Robert

We Were Sold-Out by UGSOA and Now We are Stopping the Dues !
I am a former UGSOA Local 52 member-To give you an idea--the Local President back in Oct., 2003 said that he had to invoke the "EMERGENCY RATIFICATION" Clause from the International Constitution--well so far I have requested for that same said Constitution and they are giving me the run around--I have personnally looked at a copy of it and went through it--and guess what can not be found--you guessed it--that same Clause--so I sent a letter to the UGSOA International asking where this "Emergency Ratification" Clause is located--this letter was sent e17th Jan., 2004--as of date no answer--I also sent emails (3 times requested)-- to the Local 52 President and to this date--I have not received any answer--what do they have to hide--except that the International is corrupt (Mafia ties) and can not be trusted--what have they done for us--except take our hard earned money--do you know that the 2002 Expenditure report for the International is off by $41,500 but they do not memtioned where it is--miling the books--

Keep the INternational UGSOA from interfering

by Robert Nowosielski

How can a bunch of idiots try to fire outstanding officers Can't the International,
UGSOA figure out what state they are in--I do believe Florida--and that state is a "RIGHT TO WORK STATE"--We out here in California are real Tired of the BULL--so get out UGSOA and let the officers do their job; which you probably do not understand--Keep up the good work Officers--we are here for you--
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________


by Michael Moulton


This UGSOA has violated employee rights at the San Ysidro Port of Entry They use the company, as well as themselves to force a union we never wanted or even voted for. They also threatened us with our employment. Michael Hough is the local 52 President and on the cimpanies side. Thanks to UGSOA, instead of getting $17.50/hr for training, we only get $6.75/hr. Where is the representation for our forced union dues? If anyone could help us with more info, then please contact me. My name is Michael Moulton and cell# is (619)227-6803. This UGSOA is one big joke. Other unions should be ashamed if they do not out against them.

Security Guards Hit Officers Union
with Lawsuit for Violations of State?s Right to Work Law
Security guards illegally
ordered to pay union dues to keep jobs


UGSOA Security Guards Hit Officers Union with Lawsuit

by Cynthia Vitale

FOR RELEASE: April 6, 2004

Miami, Fla. (April 6, 2004) ? Three security officers at the Miami Federal Courthouse hit United Government Security Officers of America (UGSOA) Union Local 131 officials with a lawsuit today for illegally ordering them to pay union dues to keep their jobs in violation of state law.

With free legal aid from attorneys,Cynthia Vitale and two coworkers filed the lawsuit in the Circuit Court of the 11th Judicial Circuit in and for Dade County, Florida. The security guards allege UGSOA officials? actions violated Florida?s Right to Work law, which prohibits the practice of forcing employees to join or pay dues to an Unwanted Union UGSOA for a Service they DON'T Receive.

?UGSOA officials? actions show they are more concerned with stuffing their coffers with union dues than respecting the rights of employees they seek to ?represent,?? said Stefan Gleason.

Beginning in May 2003, UGSOA union officials posted several notices at the Miami Federal Courthouse claiming all security officers were required to either join the union or pay a non-member agency fee equivalent to 95% of full union dues. Vitale and her coworkers assert that UGSOA officials used the notices in order to pressure security officers into the UGSOA union against their will.

Some of the notices also falsely claimed that the security officers worked on federal property and thus were not protected by Florida?s Right to Work law and could therefore be forced to pay union fees as a condition of employment. While it is true that those employed on ?exclusive federal property? are not covered by a state Right to Work law, only one such property exists in Miami, and Vitale and her coworkers perform the vast majority of their work on other properties.

?These bully tactics by Jim Vissar UGSOA President and James Carney UGSOA Vice President demonstrate why the vast majority of Florida workers are fortunate to labor in freedom and under the protections of a Right to Work Law,? stated Gleason.

UGSOA members are fed up with UGSOA and are decertifying them by the hundreds. While others are filing petitions to Stop the Payment of Dues

My name is Challis Smith and I formerly worked for Special Operations Group in Charleston WV under contract with DHS. I was a member of UGSOA. I was unjustly terminated on Sept. 17, 2003. After months of stalling and lies by Jim Carney and Ron Smith, VPs for UGSOA, my case was finally arbitrated 1 year later. I won my arbitration and was ordered reinstated and to be made whole on Dec. 8, 2004. However, UGSOA refused to enforce the arbitrator's decision and I was forced to file charges with the NLRB. Now, 2 yrs later, the NLRB Office of Hearings and Appeals ruled in my favor stating that UGSOA was in violation of the NLRA. Since that time my former workers had UGSOA decertified and are now members of SPFPA. Anyone who wishes to contact me may do so at challiss@kvinet.com

Why does our UGSOA President Jim Vissar have to lie?

by Officer Carter

OPEN LETTER TO J. VISSAR:

Why does our UGSOA President have to lie?

As a totally dissatisfied member of UGSOA, I am disgusted with the lies, half truths and lack of service to my fellow officers from our UGSOA union. Because of this I am sharing my research on accusations and claims being made by our invisible President J. Vissar. We are all fed up and prepared to get out of this worthless, dishonest union, and this in part is why!

Let's just start at the beginning of this year. In January our dishonest President put out a "letter to all UGSOA members" on the website. In it, Vissar makes several statements and accusations about other unions, so me and the some of the other officers checked out his claims.

Vissar said in his letter to us "last year, the SPFPA wanted to merge with us. We refused and so they tried raiding our locals." This made no sense to us as our investigation of the SPFPA union showed that they had over 20,000 members. Now why would a big union want to merge with our union of less than 4,000 (according to LM's)?

The truth is SPFPA wanted Vissar and the UGSOA to merge with them. They say to create a larger, more effective union to speak for everyone. That makes sense to us, but even if it didn't Vissar is still a liar! Why does our President have lie to us? Is it because we, as a union, are losing so many members because of his poor leadership? We have checked, and it's true. UGSOA locals in California, Florida, Missouri, Virginia, Washington, D.C., and others all want out, or to at least not have to pay dues for a service we don't get.

Vissar also said in his letter to us 'I would not spend our money to fight these rumors." Well, he sure isn't spending it to service us, so why not? I actually put in a call to see if I could get a response to my unit's feelings about UGSOA, and Vissar wouldn't even take my call, nor would he call me back. Is this what we pay for? I don't think so!

Just so you know, I was challenged to call the other union to see if anyone would talk to me. When the secretary answered the phone, I told her I was with UGSOA and wanted to speak to the President. Within minutes, a man named David Hickey answered the phone (the SPFPA President). He asked my name (which I refused to give), but he understood and asked "how can I help you today?" I'm not even in their union, and he's asking how he can help. Isn't that what our union should be asking? Apparently Vissar doesn't think so.
