Chicago Plumber's Local 130
Local 130 does not represent its membership, what does it do with the money it takes from us??? Is Local 130 a Racket?? Seems like extortion. NO representation. Non Union SCABS get the same representation at no cost. Call the F.B.I.
Update April 24 2012 Notifted the FBI to day of my intension to run for Business Manager of Local 130 as we live in crook county you know "funny" things happen to people. I hope they will be there May 8 th and the night of the election. Also the combined hits of my web sites exceeds 350000, I am impressed, I believe whoever controls this web site will be Business Manager. Also looking forward to having a debate with Mr. Coyne streaming live on this web site and youtube.
TIME TO ELECT A NEW BUSINESS MANAGER, local130.com will endorse a corruption fighting whistleblower soon!!!!!!!!!!!text.
Its time to stop the retirees from voting, they have left the work force. We thank them for mentoring us over the years, they have helped pass the trade down to us... But times have changed, you cannot have a 65 year old or older member, with a paid off house collecting a pension and social security voting on any thing that concerns the working members.
Changes have to come to LOCAL 130, cut costs down, first cut the Business Agents by 65% we dont need them, get rid of the Buicks let them use their own cars and get paid for mileage.
The business agents and all officers need to account for what they do on a weekly basis it should be posted online. All expenses and costs also need to be posted online on a weekly basis. There needs to be more transparency with what they do with our money. The business agents should all be tracked by GPS, to verify what they're doing. Local 130 is a country club, you're the members but you can't use the facilities. We also need to see what boards they sit on and what extra money they make. While we struggle and starve they are livin large.
WHO???????
THE INTEGRITY TEAM
THE BIG PROBLEM IS UNEMPLOYMENT AT LOCAL 130. DID YOU SERVE AN APPRENTICESHIP OR GET YOUR LICENSE BY WORKING FOR A LICENSED CONTRACTOR SERVING YOUR TIME TO BE ELIGABLE TO TAKE THE PLUMBERS LICENSE TEST SO YOU HAVE WHAT I CALL A REAL LICENSE. YOU ARE A REAL PLUMBER. JAMES T. SULLIVAN ENJOYS GIVING LICENSES TO UNQUALIFIED POLITICAL HACKS. THEY DO NOT KNOW PLUMBING. IS HE AIDING AND ABETTING FRAUD? THESE HACKS ENJOY SOME OF THE BEST JOBS IN THE CHICAGO AREA BOTH PRIVATE SECTOR AND PUBLIC SECTOR JOBS. THEY HAVE NEVER MISSED A DAYS PAY, HOW ABOUT YOU? MAKE SHUR YOU GET TO THE MAY UNION MEETING FOR THE NOMINATIONS FOR OFFICERS, ITS VERY IMPORTANT WE MAKE A CHANGE. VIDEO COMING SOON ON HOW THIS FRAUD IS DONE. ALSO THE CHIEF PLUMBING INSPECTOR DID NOTHING WHEN HE HAD A TREE TRIMMER (rostenkowski) FROM STREETS AND SAN WORKING UNDER HIM AS A PLUMBING INSPECTOR. IT MAKES ME WANT TO PUKE. It's time to make changes, the integrity of our industry is being attacked by our own union. A lot of good plumbers are sitting at home doing nothing being unemployed when all the hacks have the best jobs. You can change this, tell all your friends to look at this website. The fraud between local 130 and the city of Chicago is out of control. I need your help when the vote comes up in June. That's when things can get better. Everyone should call James T Sullivan and ask him why so many water department personnel have phony licenses, and they're all working but you're not. Also many contractors doing city work have phony plumbers, everybody's got to keep calling that union and complaining, what do we pay dues for, where's this brotherhood they talk about. James T Sullivan and his team Coyne do not protect the membership. After you see the new video, start calling the FBI maybe they'll get into it and take care of it. Also what about the shakedowns of contractors(audits). It's interesting not all the contractors get shaken down. This of course is a very selective process. More info is coming soon, keep coming back and keep calling Local 130, the bogus one on Washington Boulevard. Tell James T Sullivan you need a job get and get rid of the phony plumber and put you to work. Let's do what we can to get rid of the phony plumbers, you cannot count on Lisa Madigan the states attorney.
Lisa Madigan will want to be reelected someday, just remember they're all part of the problem. This whole thing needs to go to Federal Court. Makes me sick to see what they've done to this local and our trade. The local is supposed to work for the members not the other way around, that's what they have forgotten.
A SPECIAL THANKS TO ALL THE PLUMBERS,PLUMBING CONTRACTORS AND OTHER UNIONS FOR VISITING MY WEBSITE.
Heres Local 130's poster child of phoney plumbers, State representitive John Cash D'amico. How many times did he commit mail fraud renewing his given Plumbing license?????? I know the F.B.I. is on this and the other phoney's in Water Department. D'amico stated under sworn testimony that he thinks he attended "1 night school class" while smirking and laughing. He never worked for a plumbing contractor or served an apprenticship. He earns about $100,000 a year at Water Management.
Acting Business Manager

1340 W. Washington is known as the CLOISTER OF CORRUPTION. Mr. Coin has been Financial Secretary Treasure for about 10 years, its a well known fact on the street that certain shops have unlicensed non union plumbers on at least one set of books, while using some Local 130 plumbers on their jobs, bringing in the scabs at night. Hows this possible??? Is THE CLOISTER OF CORRUPTION taking bribes??? If James Coin$ team gets in every one loses, the real plumber will be out of work while scab phony's run wild.
Take a close look at Mr. Coin$ sticker, it is the same as Local 130's. It was also printed by the same printer that does Local 130 printing work. My point is that the logo and art work are Local 130's property, not for personal use. Who paid for TEAM COIN$ stickers. Remember Local 130 is all about money and power, THE CLOISTER OF CORRUPTION.

MICHAEL MCGANN FOR FINANCIAL SECRETARY TREASURER
Dear members of Local 130 there is no Brotherhood and no representation under this current group. They take contractors and do shakedown audits to get money out of them. That forces them out of business and thus eliminates a signitory shop, so you don't have a place to work at. I think thats not smart at all. The reason the Integrity Team was formed is to bring back the type of leadership, a true leader and compassionate Business Manager that Gerald M. Sullivan was to Local 130. His leadership was outstanding, and he knew most of the members. Jerry probably dosen't know how bad Tom McManus and James T. Sullivan screwed the membership they framed some of us during the Hired Truck Scandal to protect Mike Tierney and John D'amico I hope I see Jerry soon to tell him what they have done. Again The Integrity Team has every desire to restore Local 130 to the Gerald M. Sullivan days.
