ELLEN FOX SAYS LIKE ME OR LUMP ME THEN LEVELS VICIOUS ATTACKS AGAINST THE “MEN BOYS”

“DON’T FUCK WITH ME FELLAS, THIS AIN’T MY FIRST TIME AT THE RODEO”

In light of Jeff Ackerson’s response,  the perpetual ‘last straw’ has broken.

As
we agreed, I sent him a preview of the blog postings involving him for
his feedback. I kept my word, my end of the agreement. It was understood
that if he had questions or problems with it we could agree to discuss
it as adults.  He started ‘name calling’  and avoided the subject.  I
then received another e-mail in which he states, “please stop harassing me. no more emails. go away.your out of control.”

So THIS posting is for him, his lack of integrity and his buddies:

I am NOT a victim!  

VICTIM’S
DON’T FIGHT BACK. I’VE ALWAYS FOUGHT BACK. My intention has always been
to see this ‘THING’ all the way through to the end! The END
meaning a final resolution through the CRIMINAL COURT system AND the
FEDERAL COURT system,  for however long that takes. 

In the END, I will see to it that NOT ANOTHER WOMAN
suffers from the public scrutiny, abuse and humiliation I have had to
endure through my workplace, my Union and my Community via the internet
by man boys who exist without a sense of dignity or respect for
themselves and others and with way too much time on their hands. 

In
the END, It’ll be living in the mansion up on the hill while you small
minded piglets swill off your 20 ouncer’s and fortified wine while
waiting in a line somewhere for day old worm infested food. 

If
ya don’t have the brains or the common decency to address someone who
is sincerely trying to make things better then keep your trap shut!

If
the only way you know of debating or resolving conflict is through NAME
CALLING then you and your ‘Rantings’ brotherhood of ignorant red necks
deserve each other.

Chris Day refers to me as a “piece of shit”

Jeff Welch refers to me as a “bitch, pathetic, lesbian, psychotic and ‘him’”

Al
Margulies refers to me as, “Obsessive/compulsive, whack job,
paranoid schizophrenic, who makes life miserable for numerous people at
Trimet.”

John
Olsen says I “threatened to castrate” him as well as submitted several
other reports about me to HR regarding his sexual Orientation which were
investigated and found unsubstantiated.

Dan Booker tells co-workers that I, “Don’t like Gay men.”

Punkrawker 4783 says my blog is “crap and I crave attention”

Jeff
Ackerson says I’m “obsessed” and makes fun of me by calling me, “Angry
Ellen” and accuses me of “harassing him and being out of control” when I
stuck by an agreement we both reached at the August 14th ATU meeting.  

This is just the tip of the iceberg. 

 

The list of names and name calling is enormous. 

 

Each
one tries to ‘out do’ the other.  They are a formed ‘hate group’ of
unproductive  abusive man boys feeding off the ignorance and hatred of
each other. Not a one of them has an interest in living a productive,
positive and nurturing life.  Other than a nearly pre-blog friendship
with Al Margulies years ago, I do not know any of these men, personally.  

YOU
HAVE BELITTLED ME AND LIED AND BROUGHT MUCH DISCONTENT TO MY LIFE AND
MY WORKPLACE.  BECAUSE OF YOU OUR CO-WORKERS DON’T KNOW WHO IS SAFE TO
TALK WITH ANYMORE. YOU HAVE MADE A PUBLIC MOCKERY OF EVERYTHING THAT
SHOULD BE SACRED AND RIGHT IN THE WORLD AND PARTICIPATE IN THINGS THAT
ARE WRONG AND EVIL AND DESTRUCTIVE TO OTHERS.

Yes
Jeff,  I WAS angry – many times. “Angry Ellen” So what?!  Sometimes I’m
angry and sometimes I’m hurt and sad and depending on which day of the
week it is,  I can be happy and all smiley and yet other times intense
and serious. But right now at THIS VERY MOMENT – I’m TOTALLY ENRAGED!
That’s who I am Jeff.  I come with emotions.  They’re mine and I celebrate and embrace them.  All
of ‘em.  Imagine, a real live breathing feeling human being who isn’t
afraid to be who she is where she is. That’s my integrity!  I hear
a different drum. I don’t succumb to anyone neither do I look towards
others for acceptance or approval unless it’s from those I respect.  So
if you don’t like “Angry Ellen” you can just – fucking – lump  -  it!

WHAT
YOU HAVE NEVER BOTHERED TO FIND OUT ABOUT ME IS THAT I AM A KIND,
GENTLE AND LOVING SPIRIT. AN HONEST, DECENT AND HARD WORKING HUMAN
BEING. I AM A COMPASSIONATE, GIVING AND NURTURING INFLUENCE TO MANY WHO HAVE FAR LESS THEN I DO.  I AM POSITIVE AND PRODUCTIVE AND PASSIONATE ABOUT THOSE THINGS WHICH INTEREST ME. I AM JUST AS MUCH A PART OF THIS UNIVERSE AS YOU AND EVERYONE ELSE AND I DESERVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF COURTESY AND RESPECT.

PART 2

Back to the August “Preferring of Charges Meeting”

There
were more members than usual because the picnic meeting had preceded
the business meeting. Several stayed. Jon Hunt announced the agenda and
of course when he mentioned the “Preferring of Charges” portion against
me heads flung around the room looking for the culprit.  Chris Day
showed up late.  What I noticed about him is that he looked more
disheveled than usual. He looked like he hadn’t slept in days or was
VERY hungover.  He sat on the floor in the back of the room against a
wall.  He had something in his hand = it wasn’t a set of keys.  No pen
or paper.  I looked back at him a few times.  He wasn’t taking notes. He
seemed to be semi-conscious – taking a nap or zoned out.  Days later I
saw this posted on his blog.

WHOA!!!
Had he actually TAPE RECORDED the meeting?!!!  This Chris Day guy is
all busy accusing everyone else of being dishonest and illegal but ya
know what they say, ‘when you’re pointing a finger at someone else, ya
got three of ‘em pointin’ right back at cha.’ 

When
it came time for the “Preferring of Charges” part, Jon Hunt
emphatically stated the Union is AGAINST it.  That it’s ILLEGAL and, as
was said in the first “Preferring of Charges” meeting, “she can sue us.”
SO, WHY AM I HERE AND WHY IS MY NAME ALL MUDDIED UP?!!! Chris
Day REFUSES comment.  (later on that).  I get THREE MINUTES WHICH GOT
STRETCHED TO FIVE.  People are turned around in their seats watching me,
trying to see if I LOOK EVIL.  Probably not hearing a word I’m
saying – just sitting there judging me.  Expecting me to say something
in five minutes that will make it all go away somehow.  Thinking to
themselves that they didn’t come here for this.  NO ONE actually
BLACKBALLS anymore – do they?!!!  A couple of ‘em asked questions.
Lavern was the BEST part. She talked about how that action can IMPLODE a
Union from the inside out.  But – is anyone listening?

I
came loaded with notes and over $30 worth of copies to prove “it simply
ain’t true.  But I can’t follow the notes ’cause there just isn’t
enough time and the copies never made it to the audience.

Then comes Jeff Ackerson:  

“She did it to me too…”

What
did I do that upset him so much that he felt he needed to reprimand me
in a Union meeting?   After talking with him later, it appears he was
upset that I wrote a posting on my blog where I showed the same video as
above.  He felt I should have checked with him first. The topic had to
do with people who support and encourage abusers.

Ackerson
is an avid fan and supporter of Margulies and his Rantings Blog which
was proven through the series of e-mail posted below. And, as such he’s
heard the constant stream of the negative, abusive highly public and
slanderous bashings I’ve received over the last couple of years. He’s
heard the same message over and over again.  If Ackerson didn’t like or
agree with my post he could have contacted me either through blog
comments or through e-mail or phone, etc.  But instead, he (who is also
an Executive Board Officer for ATU) chose to hold off on his OUTBURST
until the Preferring of Charges meeting. So, what the fuck was that
all about? He used his Union position to ‘get back at me’ and then voted
“NO” I could’ve respected a ‘YES’ vote from him.  But now, I don’t know
who the hell  he is or what he stands for.  It was like – why bring it
up in the first place to a room packed with people who don’t understand
and there isn’t time to explain. It felt like he was purposely adding to
the negativity so the boys would film him – and THEY DID!!!  

http://www.youtube.com/get_player

 Because
of his outburst, he put himself in a position where he can’t represent
or vote or even ‘sit’ in meetings when my name comes up, which includes
accident appeals or E-Board meetings.  He has to be in a position to
represent the entire membership equally but he SINGLED ME OUT, I assume
because of his relationship with Margulies.  (e-mails below more than suggest it)   The guys love their AL. He puts them on a You Tube and sings some bullshit praise and they get their 15 minutes.  Woo hoo!!!

Soooo,
I immediately try to rectify my part. He says he was upset because I
hadn’t contacted him BEFORE I put the posting up because he had specific
reasons for coming to Al’s defense. Civil Rights and Freedom of Speech.
But – you know – hate speech is not free speech.  And then you don’t
make excuses for him by saying he’s “not a threat” and his blog is
“information that’s useful.” because it’s not. Just the fact alone
that Margulies supports an admitted child molester is reason for
concern. Nevertheless, I left under the impression that all was
understood and it was over. NOT!!!

Weeks
later, I’m writing a blog about the ‘Preferring of Charges’ meeting I
had to again go through and the subsequent SCAM I discovered when Al and
Chris started posting private Union business on their blogs and blaming
me for it.  I contacted Jeff – as we agreed – to let him know I’d be
writing about my experience in the last meeting and will be including
his OUTBURST.  As previously agreed, I stated my intentions to let him
read it before posting. This is what I got in return:

Jeff is RED

ELLEN FOX SAYS AL M IS VIOLATING THE ATU CONSTITUTION

From International Constitution
“21.7 Disclosure of Union Business.  No officer or member of the L.U. shall furnish to any unauthorized person a list of the names and addresses of the membership. All business of the L.U. must be kept strictly private from persons outside of the Union, unless publication be authorized by the L.U., and persons giving out any information contrary to the L.U. shall after proceeding in accordance with the provisions of Section 22, if found guilty, be fined, suspended or expelled.”

 

Besides all of the reasons Hunt mentioned in yesterdays meeting for not allowing the Preferring of Charges to go forward,  here is the REALITY of the situation.  What this means is that when the International Constitution says ADDRESS – it MEANS ADDRESS – NOT BADGE NUMBERS.  ONE cannot simply change the wording of the constitution to suit THEIR purpose.

Did Margulies and Day publish all those private Union documents on their Rantings blog (since the blackballing scheme didn’t work)  the last couple of days because they didn’t understand the difference between an ADDRESS AND A BADGE NUMBER and decided while they were at it they might as well change the wording of the International Constitution to include the Freedom of Information Act -  OR…

DID THEY JUST HANG THEMSELVES.

 

Al M’s been known to change the context and significance of statements written by others on his blogs and through comments he shares throughout the community on other blogs. Something I’ve been aware he’s been doing since 2009.  Day does this as well.

I write my blog for myself because as a victim of cyber abuse it’s become my voice as well as a way to reach out to other victims of Internet harassment. But he and his friends come over here, take my words and put their own spin on it – to fit their purpose which is to discredit me. It’s another tactic abusers use in order to de-focus us from the facts and validate themselves.  We can debate different perspectives in terms of what we understand about what an author meant, but in those specific instances where reputations and abuse are on the line – it’s not debatable.  For Instance, I may write something to deflect the constant barrage of name calling and slander by simply bringing the quote to the forefront.

Then… Margulies, Chris Day and Jeff Welch through their shared Ellen Fox Slander Blog Watch write:

“Ellen Fox says Chris Day is “coming after ‘you’”   They even apply quote marks which makes the statement appear legit.

But, what I ACTUALLY wrote on that post is:
“WHO’S NEXT ON HIS LIST, YOU?!!!

The context and meaning of my words have been changed because they are trying to control what you think, feel and interpret.  They are changing your mind-set. Every caption to every entry listed on the Blog Watch has purposely been changed for your benefit.  It’s another strategy abusers use. Abusers, once exposed will go to any extreme necessary to make sure you don’t see the truth.

 

While I was talking in the meeting yesterday about abuse I was going through, a woman sitting a few rows up turned and acknowledged me for what I was going through.  At one point she started repeating my words with me. She understood. If you’ve been there  – you know. She validated my experience.

Another example:

The Watch Blog says:
“Does Bruce Hansen support Ellen Fox’s Slander Blog and her campaign of hate?”

What I wrote was,
“Time to get your Bruce Hansen for President buttons and t’s on.”

My Freedom of Speech is that I can make those comments. The difference is Margulies, Day and Welch changed the spin on my statement to make Bruce look bad. They even went so far as to use ATU logo. They did this to control what you comprehend before you read it. It’s the same thing Chris Day did as he was gathering signatures for his Preferring of Charges – Blackball petitions against me. He went up to people during rush hour bullpen madness knowing time was a factor with 18 pages of single spaced print, asked co-workers to sign something “for the Union” then interpreted it in one or two sentences that fit his motives.

The words they used in those conversations as well as blog postings and headings are slander – which is hate speech and because it’s used to describe and define me to you all – almost 3,000 of ya, I can sue ‘em.

 

Third paragraph down, “She has been claiming for years now that blogger AL M is and has been ‘stalking her’ going to such extremes as saying she is ‘afraid for her life’.

What I have ACTUALLY been saying is that in Cyber language a ‘Cyber Bully’ is one who harasses children over the internet and a ‘Cyber Stalker’ is the terminology used for an adult who harasses over the internet.  Since Al M, Chris Day and Jeff Welch have plastered my picture on their various blogs, people on my bus, on the streets and in stores I frequent are recognizing me – in a NEGATIVE way.  I have concerns about the mentality of someone who isn’t capable of developing their own world experiences but rather live though the negativity and words of others.

Last paragraph of this posting is also interesting because THEY accuse ME of Preferring Charges against Khris Alexander.  lol
The truth is that I signed a petition for his RECALL specifically because he misappropriated a Union donation (a fairly new 27″ television) which I handed him for Gresham TC. He took it home for his family’s private use.  No one Preferred Charges against him to get him blackballed. The signatories simply wanted to rescind his Executive Board position. Each of us had our reasons – many were similar. He didn’t deserve to be blackballed and it was never brought up.  But, Margulies went to that Union meeting and took all of the documents provided and published them on his blog in spite of the fact that President Hunt asked that everything be kept private. He went as far as making comments in his various video rants where he acknowledged President Hunt asking that no one secretly record the meeting or take documents from it.  Margulies could have been blackballed for doing it.  But, even then with all his improprieties and outrageous behaviors – AT HIS CO-WORKERS EXPENSE – he wasn’t.  He published all the documents that night – but the subject of blackballing him for doing it never came up.

There were a few private correspondences from me that Hunt included with the packet that night. We discussed them after I discovered they became public.  He said to me, “Oh”.  lol  My private e-mail address was even published.  No reason to ask that either Hunt or Margulies be blackballed for exposing those documents publicly against me.  No one ever thought or expected Margulies should work without Union benefits or representation.

BUT THAT WAS THEN AND THIS IS NOW.

Margulies and Day’s behavior is treasonous. There’s no question the postings from yesterday and today alone should get them all the negative attention they’ve apparently been seeking.  Years ago I suggested to Hunt and talked about it in several of my postings that Margulies was giving information to people who couldn’t be happier than to see all Unions vanished from this Country.  I wasn’t implying he was a spy for them I was simply suggesting  he was behaving irresponsibly with sensitive information regarding our benefits and contract on his rants.  Video after video showed him and others at Beaverton TC talking about it. I believe he was responsible for TM receiving the Golden Fleece Award because the very conservative, anti Union anti rail movement was following his blog.  He knew they were and enjoyed the attention. In fact, Hunt asked him several times to stop talking about these things on his blog.

MARGULIES AND DAY ACT IRRESPONSIBLY WITH THE POWER OF THEIR BLOGS.

 

To my knowledge, the only member who’s ever been blackballed in the history of ATU was Tom Wallace for stealing nearly half a million dollars.

 

I have NEVER met or talked with Welch or ‘J’.
In fact, I’ve never even had a conversation with Chris Day.

just sayin…

Ellen Fox says Chris Day is “coming after ‘you’ “

THIS IS THE EXACT BEHAVIOR I’VE BEEN BITCHIN’ ABOUT!!! Day and Hunt get into some sort of squabble over HOW the ‘Preferring of Charges’ or BLACKBALL files are going to be delivered to me. No big deal – between the three of us I’ll get ahold of them and I did. Day starts in again by trying to control the behavior of others with threats and acting out! THE IMPORTANT PART – YOU GOTTA BE PAYING ATTENTION HERE BECAUSE THIS IS THE PART THAT IS SO FUCKING OUTRAGEOUS: DAY NOT ONLY THREATENS HUNT BUT ACTUALLY GOES THROUGH THE PROCESS TO HAVE HIM – THE UNION PRESIDENT – BLACKBALLED BECAUSE DAY DIDN’T FEEL HUNT WAS GOING TO SERVE THE ‘PREFERRING OF CHARGES’ COMPLAINT TO ME IN THE TIME FRAME DAY WANTED. DAY’S BEHAVIOR IS SOOOO CUT THROAT, IMMATURE AND INAPPROPRIATE IT LITERALLY SENDS CHILLS UP MY SPINE! WHETHER YOU LIKE HUNT OR NOT – NO ONE IN HIS POSITION DESERVES IT. HE IS STILL THE PRESIDENT – LIKE IT OR NOT – THE OFFICE HE HOLDS DESERVES NOTHING LESS THAN RESPECT AND SUPPORT!!! IT WOULD BE MORE APPROPRIATE IF THE BLACKBALLING EFFORT WENT AFTER TOP UNION OFFICIALS FOR SUCH IMPROPRIETIES AS MISAPPROPRIATION OF UNION FUNDS SUCH AS WAS REFLECTED IN THE MISUSE OF CREDIT CARD STATEMENTS FOR NON-UNION RELATED BUSINESS OR EVEN BUSINESS CONDUCTED WITHOUT ITEMIZED RECEIPTS, AND UNION OFFICIALS WHO GET CAUGHT PASSED OUT IN A UNION VEHICLE FOR DRINKING AND DRIVING. These types of things I can support but not the petty daily personality BS Day seems to be obsessed with. All he’s doing is raising red flags as to personal motives. DAY WANTS TO BE YOUR NEXT UNION PRESIDENT BUT HIS REACTIONS TO TYPICALLY ACCEPTABLE ADULT SITUATIONS ARE OVERLY DRAMATIC. HE HOLDS PEOPLE TO UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS. HE OVERREACTS AND DOESN’T LOOK AT OTHER OPTIONS BEFORE HE REACTS. IT’S ALL VERY ABUSIVE! HE’S BECOME SO PUBLIC AND INAPPROPRIATE THAT I FIND MYSELF FEELING NOTHING MORE FOR HIM THAN PITY. LIKE A CHILD THROWING A TEMPER TANTRUM – ‘I WANT WHAT I WANT WHEN I WANT IT AND I WANT IT NOW AND IF YOU DON’T GIVE IT TO ME I’LL BURN YOUR ASS IN HELL!!!’ WHO’S NEXT ON HIS LIST – YOU?!!! WAKE UP!!! THIS IS AN ONGOING OUTRIGHT ATTACK AGAINST THIS UNION!!! TELL DAY TO STAY AWAY!

Ellen Fox says Al Margulies signature is forged!

Regarding the message posted on your shared ‘Watch Blog’:

You have a question for someone in particular? Good. Ask them directly.    

Whether you like my Blog or not, DO NOT twist the meaning of my words around to use against someone else, just because you don’t like me.

BTW, has it occurred to either of you that I too have FREEDOM OF SPEECH?!!

BLACKBALL PETITIONS

It
appears one of the signature lines on these petitions has been forged.
Al Margulies signature on the first petition isn’t remotely close to
the signature on the second petition.  Badge numbers and printed name
aren’t similar either.  AND… John Olsen’s signature doesn’t appear
anywhere on the second petition.

1.) The Union informed Chris Day at the last Blackball attempt that this is not a Union enforced matter but a Civil matter.  

2.) He is again soliciting signatures for his third attempt to blackball me.  

3.)
The purpose and intent of these petitions was fraudulently presented to
the signers.  They were not given ample time to examine or understand
the potential problems your non-union related personal and one-sided
attack against another member could cause them.   Because the petitions
involved me, they became my property to do with as I choose.  The
signatories of a petition cannot expect privacy nor can you guarantee
it.  In fact, if any of the parties signing any of these documents
wanted, they could sue you for fraudulently obtaining their signatures
as well as deceptively guaranteeing them secrecy under Union protection
as neither I, or the Union ever agreed to your terms.

DOES BRUCE HANSEN SUPPORT ELLEN FOX’S SLANDER BLOG AND HER CAMPAIGN OF HATE?

The following is a piece right out of Ellen Fox’s slander blog posting:

Chris
wrote this after the Union vote of 108 against, 3 for and 11 abstain.
Hardly 60%. Clearly a case of sour-grapes.  BTW, that number 122 was the
total number of members who showed up for ATU meetings from all
properties for the month of April.  That means 122 members out of a
total of 3.497 actually showed up for a Union meeting.  Time to get your
BRUCE HANSEN FOR PRESIDENT buttons and t’s on.  The light of a new day is fast approaching!

ELLEN FOX SEEMS TO HATE EVERYBODY!

1.)  Text message I sent Jay after accepting his FaceBook invite.  Click image to enlarge.

2.) Jay’s FaceBook comments.  (sent via a friend)

MOST importantly, JAY KNEW FROM DAY ONE about the problems I was having with Al Margulies and Christopher Day.  He even acknowledged it by texting back, “I Understand”.  

‘Jay
then took my text, twisted my words and used it to get some sort of
pathetic attention for himself.’  The exact same methods used by
Margulies and Day.

THIS IS FACEBOOK. AN INTERNET SITE. NOT A TUPPERWARE PARTY OR A DANCE AT THE COTILLION, WHERE WE ALL GATHER IN PERSON.

I DON’T CARE WHO YOU ALL ‘FRIEND’. MY CONCERNS ARE MY PRIVACY! I DON’T WANT MY FB POSTS OR COMMENTS ENDING UP ON AL MARGULIES OR CHRIS DAY’S BLOG.  I COULDN’T HAVE BEEN MORE CLEAR IN THE TEXT TO JAY. SIMPLY PUT – YOU SHARE SOMETHING OF MINE – IT SHOWS UP ON THE WALL OF ALL OF YOUR ‘FRIENDS’. I WRITE A COMMENT TO YOUR POST AND IT SHOWS UP ON THE WALL OF ALL OF YOUR ‘FRIENDS’.

Jay
was my friend and confidant.  At one point he stepped in to ask if Chris
and I would agree to mediation.  I agreed if it was outside the Company
and asked that he be the mediator.  That was the level of trust I had
bequeathed unto him.   So, to see his remarks as they are written in the
screen shot was an unforeseen devastating blow.

Only on the internet folks, do you get the opportunity to see read who’s stabbing you in the back.

Two
years ago Margulies secretly recorded a private conversation between us
and published it on his blog.  He then used the recording throughout the
years to control me. When I objected he created over 25 video rants
over the years with serious slanderous and abusive hits against my
character – over and over and over again until his audience grew to
believe the message.  His audience consists largely of
co-workers, management  and people from the community who are
recognizing me while I’m driving a Bus or out shopping. People who glare
and on occasion spout off at me.  I’m someone they’ve never met or had
an actual conversation with.  As is the case with  abuse victims, I had
no voice until I created my own blog in defense of myself.  A blog in
which I reached out to other victims of Cyber Stalking.  Margulies
removed postings from my blog, posted them on his blog
while twisting my words and claiming victim. He and his followers often
made fun of me by making disparaging comments through his posts.  One
of his Blogger friends, Jeff Welch from Puget Sound called me a “bitch”
in one of Al’s postings and sent scathing, disheartening e-mail my way.

Chris
Day gave false witness accounts (supporting his life partner John
Olsen) to Human Resources about me.  Written up to HR seven (7) times by
Olsen.  Chris Day, according to Peggy Hanson (to me, Bruce Hansen and
Jon Hunt) reported me on a regular basis WHILE he was a Union Officer.  Chris
Day, brought me up on untrue and unsubstantiated charges to the entire
ATU 757 membership for the purpose of blackballing me from having Union
Representation. He partnered up with Margulies and  went after blood.
Chris Day literally went from table to table in the Bullpen during
working hours (in front of me) and with Sandra Guengerich at one point,
collecting signatures from co-workers and Supervisors, Station Agents,
etc. for the blackball petition.  Co-workers, not being provided with
accurate substantiated documents actually signed it have me blackballed
-  without ever having met me.  Not one of them asked me what it was
all about!  Day asked co-workers to “sign a petition for the Union” and
many of them did without reading what they were signing. Hundreds of
e-mails (which resources tell me he ‘borrowed’ from the
Black Caucus meetings as well as other similar type forums) were sent to
co-workers  filled with  slanderous attachments about me in which he
copied postings from my blog  - a blog filled with my feelings  -
where he twisted my words and later claimed ‘victim’.  He created an
atmosphere of fear and distrust in a place where Solidarity
was supposed to exist.  Co-workers are acting out on me and taking
sides against each other.  Co-workers getting in my face – showing
hostility to someone they’ve never once attempted to talk with.    And
now, Jay Frye adding more fuel to the fire.

To date, I have NEVER had a conversation with Chris Day or
John Olsen.  All acts of hatred against me including the fourteen who
signed petitions to have me blackballed were based solely on gossip,
rumors, assumptions and locked minds. 

The text was a
courtesy to Jay. At one point, after the blackball meeting, I went
through my Face Book ‘friends’ and de-friended nearly every one of ‘em (without notification)
who were ‘friends’ with either Al M and/or Chris.  It wasn’t personal
by any means.   I kept a few ‘friends’ on after having conversations
with them about it but try not to comment on their posts.

BUT how in the hell can you tell these days who honors ‘trust’ particularly over the internet? Even a ‘friend’ of Jay’s sent me the screen shots. And Trimet DOES monitor FB.  Ask Jessica Bucciarelli what her FB role is on YOUR FB?!!!  

Khris
Alexander removed postings from my FaceBook where I wrote about
personal feelings and sent them on to Margulies to use against me in
Court.  Alan Eisenberg removed postings from my FaceBook and gave them
to Margulies to use in Court against me as well.  So, I am very careful.
My postings these days are refined to politics and music.  

 I also de-friended
those who pretended support but left me hangin’.  That part became
personal. You didn’t want to get involved? You assumed it was a
‘personality conflict’? The “Preferring of Charges” or the blackball
action of a member by a another member (Chris Day) is a blatant assault
against everyone and everything UNION. Remove my name from the equation.
They could pick you  next and do the same.  They’ll post your name up
in the Union box at every ATU property for blackballing.  What a sad
place they must be in to to go to that extreme.

 ”If
we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in
each life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm any hostility”

– Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

I
don’t support Al M’s or Chris Days’s methods for resolving personal
conflicts. Blackballing someone you don’t like is so beyond my world of
comprehension that it makes my head hurt.

I don’t support the negative impact they’ve projected on to co-workers through their public blogs. Al M supports child abuser. I believe many of our problems with public perception is based on the Blog postings from both men.

I will not support anyone who supports and or encourages the abuse of another be it a child or an adult.

Posted publicly on BOTH blogs from Chris Day.  He calls me a piece of shit.

Chris
wrote this after the Union vote of 108 against, 3 for and 11 abstain.
Hardly 60%. Clearly a case of sour-grapes.  BTW, that number 122 was the
total number of members who showed up for ATU meetings from all

total of 3.497 actually showed up for a Union meeting.  Time to get your
BRUCE HANSEN FOR PRESIDENT buttons and t’s on.  The light of a new day is fast approaching!

Many
of the comments I read on Jay’s posting were from people who simply
wanted to welcome and support him.  There are others, however…  The
ones who won’t read this past seeing my name because it’s easier to be a
part of the crowd then take a stand. Then there’s the woman (G-d help
me not post her name right here and now) who reported me to management
saying  I ran a red light one night nearly killing people walking in the
crosswalk.(LARGE FLASHING PEDESTRIAN – FIRE LANE LIGHTS) after the
Subway Shop East bound ON POWELL. Ruth pulled the data pack.  NO SUCH
THING HAPPENED. I asked Evelyn to hold off investigating for personal
reasons.  This Operator made it clear to me one night that she is a
friend of Al’s.  THAT’S 7th GRADE.  It should never have happened.

STOP HATING PEOPLE YOU DON’T KNOW!

STOP HATE

Part Two – Coming in two weeks:

 MALE DOMINATED, GOOD ‘OL BOY UNIONS and THE WOMEN WHO SUPPORT ‘EM!

From Al M, letter to R Romo

I have had to suffer through years of slanderous attacks by a fellow Trimet employee, TRIMET HR has chosen to ignore my problems, and in a strange twist, HAS PENALIZED ME, for inadvertently

embarrassing a fellow employee who was heard over the open air channel of a Trimet dispatcher!

Yet in the case of another employee, who has made a hobby of publicly humiliating other TRIMET employees, TRIMET HR has chosen to allow her ongoing and abusive behavior to continue on and on.

Why would the Trimet HR department allow one employee the complete freedom to slander openly multiple employees, but penalize me for inadvertantly embarrassing one employee?

I would appreciate a thoughtful explanation as to why the rules only apply to some of us!

Al Margulies
