SPFPA bogus blocking charge

From: Members local 280

To Wayne R. Gold, Regional Director NLRB

Date: December 4, 2013

Reference: Case 5-RC-104853

Subject:: Attempt to use the NLRB to victimize members of local 280

With reference to your letter of 12/2/13 addressed to Watkins security Agency of D. C., Inc. and Covenant Security Services, Ltd pertaining to case 5-Rc-104853, we the members of local 280 desire to bring to your attention that the second blocking charges granted to Security Police Fire professionals of America (SPFPA) by your office only denies us the right to the choice of union representation; victimizes us and leaves us at the mercy of SPFPA’s antics of delay, deny financially exploit tactics.

Six months ago or thereabout SPFPA sought and obtained blocking charge from your office thereby denying us our right to a yes or a no vote to change of union representation then; while SPFPA continued to collect union dues from the members. After thorough investigation your office concluded that SPFPA blocking Charges lacked merit and were bogus. Consequently that blocking charges by SPFPA were dismissed, block to election lifted and election date settled by your offices. Presently, SPFPA have filled yet another bogus blocking charge that is like the first, completely lacks any merit, in our opinion. And your office have yet again granted SPFPA another blocking charge thereby once again delaying and denying us our right and desire to have a referendum to SPFPA’s union stewardship . While at the same time NLRB allows SPFPA to continue to financially exploit us through union dues collection. Granting SPFPA first and now second blocking charges based on bogus claims not only deny local 280 members’  right to a union of their choosing but it also delays and denies business opportunity to other potential new union representatives. We believe that NLRB as an agency of the government is neither in the business of choosing winners and losers between union organizations, nor does it takes side in business disputes, nor does it disregards the welfare and interest of union members.

Is our opinion that what SPFPA seeks with these repeat blocking charges is neither legal redress, nor legal interpretation nor legal adjudication but tactical tactics of delay, financially exploit and may be deny local 280 members, their right to choose union of their choice. SPFPA would continue to file these bogus blocking charges as long as it perceives an NLRB that is willing to grant one and as long as it continues to collect union dues. SPFPA has lost nothing but have gained everything with its bogus blocking charges and will continue to file one bogus charge after another so long as it continued to collect union dues. In order to put to an end to SPFPA bogus blocking charges and to allow for election we the members local 280 do with this letter request NLRB to direct the employers to cease deducting union dues from the members’ pay pending the outcome of the investigation on SPFPA blocking charges and consequently pending the outcome of eventual election.

 Majority of today’s unions especially security unions operate on philosophy of quid pro quo but we the members of Local 280 have absolute confidence in the NLRB and personnel working in this labor agency.
