The Committee For A More Responsible Local 47

2/28/06

Greetings Local 47 Colleagues,

As we promised, here are some of the reactions we’ve gotten to date about the classless way Barbara Markay, a 15 year employee and business rep of the Local was fired and the possibly illegal conduct of a NON-ELECTED Local 47 employee, Doug Caine.

These are also reactions to the series of E-mails that went between Lisa Haley of the Freelance Musicians Association and Doug Caine, Executive Board Frontman (Listed as Office Manager).

You input in very welcome. Next we will send you testimonials of some of those who’ve benefited from Barbara’s expertise:

THE COMMENTS

•••••••••••••••••••••••••

This is absurd/outrageous, and simply not acceptable.
Many thanks to the Committee for bringing this matter
to the membership. Her (Barbara’s) hard work has obviously gone to
the wayside and her and all of her hard work have been
pushed out the back door like a bag of garbage.

I agree, lets have accountability within the union.

Greetings Local 47 Colleagues!,

As we promised, here is our conversation with Barbara Markey,
the 15-year employee fired in a most embarrassing and
demeaning way.

It’s a bit of a read, but please take the time. This is important
information about the conduct that is being allowed by our
Executive Officers. From what we gather, much or most of the
board has been out of the loop on these actions.

Please read this and send it far and wide. This conduct will not
be stopped until we stand together and demand accountability!

Thank You

THE COMMITTEE

Our conversation with Barbara Markay.

We recently had a lengthy conversation with Barbara Markey, a
15-year employee and business rep for Local 47 who returned
from vacation to find out she’d been fired while she was out of
town!
