He was last seen at 8 am yesterday morning at hylan and burgher. The more people that are keeping an eye out maybe he will be found. Thanks again.

Please pray that he returns to his famliy

If he isn't a Pioneer employee, how come he was allowed to post?

I just visited the ATU 1181 website and the only bus company pick missing is Varsity.  Very interesting.  Are they gone?  Looks like they're gone - no people, no runs, no pick.

I wish more AMERICANS would stand up and defend the English language before it's to late.
All those who remain silent will someday speak idioteze.

I'm with you all the way but it would be easier to defend if it was the official language.  Gotta get after the politicians.

Well, 2 NYC councilmen are doing their part ... sponsoring a bill to require some English on signs written in foreign languages.

Look at this cluster of stores. I can't even tell if the bus stop signs are in English!
They cram stores in retail space tighter than they do people in apartments!

Here's the article the picture came from ... http://www.nydailynews.com/ny_local/queens/2011/05/30/2011-05-30_queens_politicians_push_bill_to_force_store_owners_to_include_english_translatio.html

I read this today in the Daily News.  Seems like our politicos refuse to even enforce the laws already passed and do everything to repeal them thanks to AG Schneiderman.  Go figure.

And, by the way, of those who were originally appointed, it was done so by the trustees Mullins & Baker (as field reps) ... Hedge, Martinos, Sorrentino, Catalano, Jene-Louis and Oakman. But, again, they were all subsequently elected by a majority of the members.

It should be noted ... each of these people had been shop stewards for a number of years prior to being appointed reps and elected delegates ... so there's plenty of proven experience on this slate.

I seem to remember that Candidate #12 ran against Mighty Mike and he was a shop steward for Atlantic Express.  I hope he knows the contract better now than he did then.  Hey, did you get a chance to read the flyer of Josue Pierre?  Very impressive presentation, content questionable.  Wonder what property he comes out of.  Wish there were debates. Now THAT would be a classic.  Just a couple of more days and it's history.  Maybe in a couple of more days this damn pc will do what I want it to do. 

Well now, I might be taking a risk here and incur your wrath.   I thought you were their PR guy. Wouldn't be a bad thing.  I had no problem understanding the bios and that's the problem, I understand their bios (as far as #5 candidate, she's a non-entity and was even thrown under the bus by her own people).  Seems like Mighy Mike has mostly "appointed" candidates, Salerno is a reject,   MFC has become laughable and , Get Involved hasn't even made it to the starting gate!  I'm just saying.  There's a lot of discontent in 1181   Hope this shows up where it's supposed to.  I don't have the formatting down pat yet but I'm happy that you removed the virus from my pc 

Bravo!  However, not in her defense mind you, but most of the fliers had "errors" (even Mighty Mike's).  The flag display was a slap in the face.

you would to that?    you said i was OK

my laptop is causing me problems but I'm still don't know the necessity for it.  Thanks for your reply gotta go this problem is driving me 

Hey Buzz, just received my ballot - have a couple of questions -why the heck is Central Labor Councils added to our AFL/CIO affiliation? what the heck is it?  why do we need it?  when did this happen?  I found out it's associated with the NEA, are we becoming part of the big deal National Education Association?

I would appreciate it if you would act like it!
