Chicago Clout thanks Carol James for over forty two years of service to Laborers Local 1092. There is new faces taking over Local 1092, but Carol will be needed to help with some her expertise in future labor issues. Carol started as a part-timer and has held almost every position. Carol told me, "Now is the right time to retire". Carol is also very confident with the new leadership. Do not be surprised if you catch Carol in Florida for some needed rest and relaxation. I have had a great professional relationship with Carol for a very long time, she is a class act from a classy family. Thank you Carol from all of us at Chicago Clout and all Chicago Union Workers.

The North District Department of Water Management is back in the news again because employees are strongly "encouraged" to pony up for gifts. Many of the employees will face difficult times if they do not "donate". A weak puppet Office of the Inspector General, will not investigate due to Rahm Emanuel's protectionist policies. One employee was upset because he want to get his handicapped kids some basic gifts, but the guys are forced to buy North Face Arctic Jackets instead. It is necessary to get some non-union management in place now, but Rahm would rather give some political payback at taxpayers expense. When all the money is collected, by my math, the bosses will have a few thousand dollars pocket money. Thanks Rahm and Inspector General for looking the other way.]]> tag:www.chicagoclout.com,2012://1.1513 2012-12-03T01:25:01Z 2012-12-03T01:48:40Z

Thank you to everyone that takes my advice and continues to protest at Rahm Emanuel's home in the 4200 Block of Hermitage. The major newspapers in Chicago will not cover the protests as they seem to still be under the control of Rahm. Chicago is still a killing field due to the lack of jobs in the west and south sides of the city. Chicago is slowly rotting and the union workers are taking the fall. Rahm Emanuel is now privatizing, busting unions, and working with Quinn to destroy the middle class in Chicago. These goons just want a bunch of losers gambling away their minimum wage paychecks hoping to hit it big at the casino. Watch the way the Chicago Alderman vote when the Midway Airport deal comes across the table. I am ready to run for Alderman again and cost these "rubber-stamps" more money. I was hoping Rahm would be a better mayor then Daley, and he is, he just needs a Harold Washington playbook.]]> tag:www.chicagoclout.com,2012://1.1512 2012-11-27T04:06:13Z 2012-11-27T04:11:10Z

Just a quick update. Thank you to everyone that enjoys Chicago Clout. We are ramping up for another year of first rate video at CAN-TV. I think Rahm Emanuel was at the Department of Water Management, 39th and Iron, to thank all the City Workers that help make Barack Obama enjoy another term. (11-26-12 at 11:00 a.m.) I also hope Rahm thanks all the members of Laborers Local 1092 that worked the phone lines getting the vote out for the President. I interviewed some of the folks that participated in the get out the vote and they all expected preferential treatment at work during the next two years. In a surprising twist, many members of the Plumber's Union did not take off Election Day, but purchased political tickets on city time instead. The FOIA officers at several Chicago City Departments are going up against legal challenges very soon. The passion of the elections makes city workers make many mistakes. I also want to thank the new hosts of Chicago Clout T.V. series as I am very busy on other matters. I also want all City Workers to be very careful with contacts to the Chicago Office of the Inspector General. The OIG is not issuing proof letters regarding your complaints and on a regular basis is losing cases in court. The OIG is also following your PERSONAL E-MAILS and PERSONAL PHONE CALLS. Yes, Rahm Emanuel's puppets at the Office of the Inspector General are not independent at all. I hope Fran Spielman at the Chicago Sun-Times stops the phony bullshit coverage of the OIG, it is all propaganda. We are going to expose the corruption, the wild sex, and the cover-ups they thought they keep hidden. We also have X-rated video of high ranking city employees, but are in a legal tangle on that matter. Enjoy the ride. tag:www.chicagoclout.com,2012://1.1510 2012-10-30T03:12:16Z 2012-10-30T03:27:03Z

Humboldt Park man dies in overnight house fire BY ALLISON HORTON Staff Reporter October 27, 2012 9:40AM An overnight fire in a Humboldt Park home killed a man and injured another. Jaime Martinez, 43, was badly burned in the 1:30 a.m. Saturday fire in his home in the 1600 block of North Central Park Avenue, authorities said. He suffered second and third degree burns and smoke inhalation. He was pronounced dead at St. Mary and Elizabeth Medical Center at 2:05 a.m., according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office. A second man was also taken to St. Mary after suffering from smoke inhalation. And now the rest of the story from Chicago Clout. Please see the picture of a CBS 2 NEWS cameraman taking video today of one of the fire hydrants that served the fire in this man's death. After the fire, Chicago firefighters needed to call the Department of Water Management to shut down the water main. This fire was served by two (YES TWO) broken fire hydrants. The hydrants are still broken and out of service. Hydrant caps were installed to stop the hydrants from flooding the area until the Hydrant Truck can be dispatched, and that could be months. Note to Joe Ferguson: I did not call CBS2 NEWS JOEY, so do not subpoena my personal phone records. The Chicago Office of the Inspector General has known for years about the broken fire hydrants and is part of the cover-up so politician's kids can continue to feed at the trough. We really need to stop whistleblower retaliation by the O.I.G., time to have the FEDS take over. ]]> tag:www.chicagoclout.com,2012://1.1508 2012-10-28T02:36:37Z 2012-10-28T02:50:09Z

The Department of Water Management continues allowing bullying against whistleblower employees. Today at 2:15 p.m., Steve Broumas allegedly was assaulted by a bricklayer at 4909 North Harding in Chicago. Steve called the Chicago Police and when the police were in route, the bricklayer disappeared from the jobsite. Steve reported the assault and a report was made. The police said to Steve, "the perpetrator left a crime scene". Steve waited for Paul Hansen, a former garbage man from Streets and Sanitation that was just promoted to a high ranking job in the Water Department. Paul Hansen failed to make all the employees involved to take a drug test. None of the employees engaged in the "Violence in the Workplace" protocols. Steve was a victim of a humiliation from Paul Hansen when he was in line attempting to sign out many months ago. The Water Department management covered this action up again. I am very upset because the employees that stepped up to the plate to make a better job situation have time and time again been victim of continuing verbal assaults. Rahm Emanuel promised to fix this problem and has failed. The Inspector General continues to look the other way when clouted employees are abusive. Non-clouted employees feel the backlash of the Inspector General. Time to fire Joe Ferguson. Steve filed prior charges against Paul Hansen at the Illinois Department of Human Rights, but Paul Hansen is protected by high profile City paid lawyers. Let's watch the water department blame poor old Steve again. tag:www.chicagoclout.com,2012://1.1505 2012-10-16T02:47:58Z 2012-10-17T03:37:01Z

John Faleni is a 92 year old guy that worked for the City of Chicago as a Laborer. Most of his years were spent in the Central District on the Hydrant Truck. John really loved the newer trucks the department bought a few years ago. John remembered my father a plumber and then a Plumbing Inspector. John was so excited to see the current employees and had many fond memories about the 34 years he worked for Chicago taxpayers. John really got a kick out of the Hired Truck Scandal. John retired in 1983. I was happy for John and stopped losing count of all the times he shook my hand. John is pictured with Ronald Bober another 1092 Union Brother. John was concerned about the Chicago pension crisis. Photo by Patrick McDonough]]> tag:www.chicagoclout.com,2012://1.1504 2012-10-12T18:32:25Z 2012-10-12T19:18:01Z

Last week, four city of Chicago, Department of Water Management employees went to the Office of the Inspector General for an assault that happened over one year ago. One driver was sent to central district while the "investigation" took place. Could you imagine the money spent not even including the truck and driver dispatched to drive them all downtown? I think the three employees in the south district should make sure they call their Alderman and get off the hook. I want to know why the OIG waits so long, when memories are faded, and employees forget what happened. We will keep an eye on the outcome of this craziness. Taxpayers pay five employees to wait around most the day, at least two OIG investigators (I use the term loosely), and various DOWM staff to monitor and coordinate. This is costing the taxpayers thousands for the dog and pony show. The Inspector General looks the other way when complaints are made against politically connected employees. Amazing. I thought Rahm Emanuel was going to change Business as Usual. Patrick McDonough
