Dear Editor:

Why are the computers still not functioning properly at the Union Hall? We could have bought five brand new ones and software to run them for this price.

I haven't been able to get a union card since January because the card printer hasn't been online with the computer.

Is this one of the Local's many pork barrel projects to spend our money without any results?

No wonder they don't want to give the membership a copy of expenses [See "The Elusive Financial Report"] because when we want something and their excuse is the computers are down someone might ask what was the $11,582 spent for last year?

Fraternally,

Slightly Disturbed,

"Biker Ed" Dunfee
