IN RE: CERTAIN CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS BY OFFICERS AND EMPLOYEES OF LOCAL UNION 726
Protest Decision 2006 ESD 143
Issued: March 16, 2006
Pursuant to authority granted under Article I, Article XI, Section 2(b)(2), and Article XIII, Section 4, the Election Supervisor conducted an investigation of certain campaign contributions made by officers and employees of Local Union 726.
Election Supervisor representative Joe Childers investigated this matter.
Findings of Fact
On January 3, 2006, the Election Supervisor received by anonymous fax transmission a memorandum dated December 9, 2005. The memorandum appeared on the letterhead of Local Union 726, was addressed to "The Executive Board, Business Agents, Office Staff and Attorney of Local 726," and was from Thomas P. Clair, the local union secretary-treasurer. The memo's subject reference was stated as "International Brotherhood of Teamsters Election." The text of the memo is reprinted here in its entirety, viz.
As you are aware, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters Election is rapidly approaching. As the Principle [sic] Officer of Local 726, I have been asked to reach out to my staff for campaign donations for John Coli, President of Joint Council No. 25 and Secretary-Treasurer for Local Union No. 727 and Patrick Flynn, Recording-Secretary for Joint Council No. 25 and Vice-President of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
It has been suggested that any individual whose annual earnings are less than $80,000 donate $1,000.00 and anyone earning over $80,000 per year donate $2,000.00
Donations being made should be divided in half with one-half going to the Hoffa/Flynn campaign and the remaining half going to the Hoffa/Coli campaign and are to be received by December 31, 2005.
Should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask.
Your cooperation and generosity are greatly appreciated.
Fraternally,
Thomas P. Clair
Secretary Treasurer
Upon our receipt of this memorandum, we identified the persons who held positions as executive board members, business agents, office staff, and the attorney for the local union and mailed them our standard contribution inquiry form. Our form is used to verify whether contributions reported by candidates as received from identified individuals were actually made by those individuals. The responses we received showed the following:
Name Position Candidate's Name Amount
Thomas P. Clair Secretary-Treas. Hoffa/Flynn $1,000
Hoffa/Coli $1,000
John M. Falzone President Hoffa/Coli $500
Hoffa/Flynn $500
Mike Marcantante Business Agent/ Pat Flynn $400
Executive Bd. John Coli $400
Linda Cruz Executive Bd./Trustee $0
John F. Hurley Business Agent/ Hoffa/Flynn $500
Executive Bd. Hoffa/Coli $500
Anthony Fiori Executive Bd./ James P. Hoffa/Hoffa 2006 $2,000
Trustee
Mike Melone Business Agent Hoffa/Flynn $250
Hoffa/Coli $250
Fred Gegare $100
Luther Woodruff Business Agent Hoffa/Flynn $100
Hoffa/Coli $100
Judy Kanelos Office Staff $0
Cari Lamberg Office Staff $0
Nadine Ott Office Staff $0
After receiving responses to these inquiries, our representative conducted in-person interviews with twelve witnesses. The results of these interviews follow.
Thomas Clair admitted writing the memorandum that solicited the contributions. He stated that Brian Rainville, who he believed to be John Coli's assistant at Joint Council 25, came to his office and asked him to solicit campaign contributions from his office staff and employees. He stated that Rainville told him that any employee making more than $80,000 should be asked to give $2,000 split evenly between Hoffa/Flynn and Hoffa/Coli, and anyone making less than $80,000 should be asked to donate $1,000, again split evenly the same way. Clair did not recall Rainville stating that John Coli had instructed him to implement this solicitation program.
Clair prepared the solicitation memorandum, and had it typed, printed, photocopied and distributed only to office staff and the local's attorney by using the mailboxes in the office for the staff. Clair stated that he did not show the memorandum to Rainville or Coli before distribution. After distribution, nearly every recipient came to Clair and said they could not afford to donate at the level suggested. Clair denied applying any pressure to these recipients to encourage contributions. Clair stated that the three women on the office staff came to him and said they could not afford to contribute, and he told them that was okay. The individuals who contributed, as outlined above, gave personal checks directly to Clair, with the exception of Anthony Fiori. Clair in turn delivered the checks to Rainville, whose Joint Council office is located in the same building and down the hall from Clair's office.
In denying that he pressured anyone to make contributions, Clair further denied that anyone indicated to him they felt pressured or uncomfortable by the request. Clair admitted that during a bi-weekly staff meeting held after the memorandum was distributed, he stated that if anyone was going to contribute he would appreciate them giving the checks to him. He received the first contribution check shortly thereafter.
Clair further stated that he also delivered the solicitation memorandum to the local union's attorney, James Green. Clair confirmed that Green in turn gave checks to Clair with the contributions outlined above for Hoffa/Flynn and Hoffa/Coli. Green is employed directly by and is a member of the local union; further, he has been designated by the local union as the person responsible for administering the local union delegate and alternate delegate election.
Clair further conceded that he prepared the solicitation memorandum on union-paid time and used union-supplied stationery and copy machine to print and reproduce it. Investigation further showed that Cari Lamberg, a clerical employee of the local union, typed the memorandum on union-paid time.
James Green, the local union attorney, told our investigator that he received the solicitation memorandum from Clair and responded by contributing $100 to Hoffa/Flynn and $100 to Hoffa/Coli. He said he wrote two checks and gave them to Clair.
John Falzone, president of Local Union 726, told our investigator that he did not sit in on Clair's meeting with Rainville when the subject of soliciting campaign contributions came up, but Clair told him about it afterward. Falzone said he found it "odd" that Joint Council staff would suggest certain amounts that should be contributed by employees of Local Union 726.
Falzone stated that he did not intend to donate to the campaigns but changed his mind when he was asked to do so by Clair in the solicitation memorandum; however, he did intend to contribute to James P. Hoffa's campaign. He said after he received Clair's memorandum, he decided to donate as requested because the recipients "were from Chicago." When he first got Clair's memorandum, Falzone said he tore it up and threw it in the trash. He donated less than what was suggested in the memorandum for someone at his salary level.
Kenneth Brantley, vice president of Local Union 726, was also interviewed. He said that Clair told him Rainville had come to the office and requested that Clair solicit campaign donations from the officers and staff of the local union. He gave two checks of $500 each to Clair, but left the payee line blank. He stated that he intended the contributions to go to Flynn and Coli, but left it to someone else to fill in the payee line. He further stated that he overheard people in the office complaining about the request, particularly the "girls," who said they could not afford to contribute. However, no one complained to him directly.
Brantley stated that he had never previously donated money to candidates for International office who were from the Joint Council. He believed he had donated once to Hoffa in a past election. He said that while he did not feel pressured to contribute, it was related from the Joint Council that as "team players" the local union executive board members should contribute to the candidates.
Our investigator also interviewed Mike Melone, a business agent for the local union. He recalled receiving the Clair solicitation memorandum in December. He denied feeling pressured to contribute; however, he thought it was unusual that the candidates did not approach him directly to contribute to their campaigns. Melone further said that Clair told him he did not have to contribute. Melone's contributions were less than the amounts suggested in the memorandum.
John Hurley, another business agent and member of the executive board, told our investigator that he received the solicitation memorandum from Clair. He said he was not surprised by the memorandum requesting contributions because all candidates need funds.
Hurley said he had heard that Rainville came and requested that Clair solicit contributions from the officers, and he said it was "kind of expected" that he and the other staff members should donate. However, he denied feeling pressured to give. The amount requested did not "raise [his] eyebrows."
Anthony Fiori, a local union trustee, told our investigator that he had contributed the maximum amount to Hoffa 2006 in July 2005. Accordingly, when he received Clair's memorandum, he told Clair that he was "maxed out." He stated that he did not like the fact that his name appeared at the top of the letter (on the letterhead) because he knew this was a violation of the Rules.
Mike Marcatante, another business agent and member of the executive board, told our investigator that he received the solicitation memorandum from Clair. In the past, he has donated cash to candidates in union elections; however, this time he gave Clair a $400 check payable to Hoffa/Flynn and a second $400 check payable to Hoffa/Coli.
Judy Kanelos, the local union's TITAN operator, told our investigator that she has never been involved in politics and took the letter as a "joke." She did not contribute money and denied feeling pressured to contribute.
Cari Lamberg, an office clerical, told our investigator that she typed the Clair memorandum. She did not contribute any money due to financial hardship and denied feeling pressured to donate. When she typed the memorandum, she told Clair she could not contribute and he said that was okay.
Brian Rainville, executive director, and John Coli, president, respectively, of Joint Council 25, were also interviewed. Both denied ever having seen the Clair memorandum before our investigator showed it to them and, according to our investigator, seemed shocked when they saw it. Coli immediately recognized that it constituted a violation of the Rules.
Rainville admitted having a conversation with Clair where he asked Clair to solicit money from his officers and staff. He admitted that he suggested that those who make substantially more than others should contribute more; however, he denied suggesting the specific breaking point of $80,000 salary. He did tell Clair what the maximum contribution limits were. Both Coli and Rainville stated that they had been actively trying to raise money, and it was not uncommon for them to ask principal officers to help them raise money by soliciting from officers and staff.
Rainville and Coli have suggested to all principal officers that one-half of the contributions go to Hoffa/Flynn and one-half to Hoffa/Coli. They denied that Flynn had any involvement in the request to Clair. They stated that they had no idea Clair would write a letter to staff on local union letterhead; they assumed he would make oral requests for contributions. They stated that some locals have not contributed at all, and, aside from this case, all solicitations of contributions are by word of mouth.
Since the time the foregoing interviews were completed, none of the contributions received in response to the solicitation memorandum have been refunded by either the Hoffa/Coli or the Hoffa/Flynn campaigns. Further, none of the contributions have been spent in the delegate and alternate delegate election currently under way in Local Union 726.
Analysis
Article XI, Section 1(b) of the Rules provides as follows:
(3) No labor organization, including but not limited to the International Union, Local Unions and all other subordinate Union bodies, whether or not an employer, may contribute, or shall be permitted to contribute, directly or indirectly, anything of value, where the purpose, object or foreseeable effect of the contribution is to influence, positively or negatively, the election of a candidate, except as permitted by subparagraphs (5) and (6) below. No candidate may accept or use any such contribution. These prohibitions extend beyond strictly monetary contributions made by a labor organization and include contributions and use of the organization's stationery, equipment, facilities and personnel.
* * *
(6) No Union funds or other things of value shall be used, directly or indirectly, to promote the candidacy of any individual. Union funds, facilities, equipment, stationery, personnel, etc., may not be used to assist in campaigns unless the Union is compensated at fair market value for such assistance, and unless all candidates are provided with equal access to such assistance and are advised in advance, in writing, of the availability of such assistance. The use of the Union's official stationery with the Union's name, insignia or other mark identifying the Union is prohibited, irrespective of compensation or access. Other use of the Union's name, insignia or mark by Union members, in connection with the exercise of rights under these Rules, is permitted.
Case law construing these provisions emphasizes that union resources may not be used for campaign purposes. Thus, in DiPietro, 2001 EAD 324 (April 20, 2001), aff'd, 01 EAM 62 (April 27, 2001), a letter prepared on union letterhead for a campaign purpose and signed by a union officer in his official capacity was found to violate the Rules. In Local 20 Business Agent Fund, 2001 EAD 549 (November 8, 2001), aff'd, 01 EAM 105 (November 28, 2001), campaign contributions made from a bank account jointly owned by the officers and business agents of a local union were found to violate the prohibition on use of union resources for campaign purposes, where the account was funded through payroll deduction administered by the local union and used the local union's non-profit status to avoid taxation of the interest the account earned. Similarly, in Richards, 2000 EAD 5 (August 1, 2000), aff'd, 00 EAM 3 (August 14, 2000), a scheme that sought participation in a union-administered payroll deduction program to establish a campaign fund, announced by a solicitation memorandum prepared on personal time but using union equipment, constituted impermissible use of union resources for campaign purposes.
Our investigation here makes clear that union resources were used to support the Hoffa/Coli and Hoffa/Flynn campaigns. Thus, Clair drafted the solicitation memorandum on union-paid time using local union letterhead and signed by himself as principal officer of the local union. The text of the memorandum demonstrates that it has only one purpose, to solicit campaign contributions. Further, Clair directed an employee of the local union to type the memorandum on union-paid time, and it was printed, duplicated and distributed to recipients using union-provided printer, photocopier, and mail distribution system. Clair followed up on the solicitation request at a bi-weekly business meeting of union staff held at a union-provided facility, received the contributions in his union-provided office, and hand-carried the contributions on union-paid time down the hall to Rainville, the Joint Council official who asked him to solicit the contributions. Given these facts, it is difficult to imagine a more complete use of union resources to solicit campaign contributions.
Accordingly, we find that Clair's actions described here violate the Rules.
We do not find that any retaliation or retribution occurred with respect to any person who declined to contribute or who contributed in amounts less than that suggested. However, we will not hesitate to impose severe remedies should such retaliation take place.
We further find that the campaigns of Hoffa/Flynn and Hoffa/Coli violated Article XI, Section 1(b)(13), which provides the following:
(13) Candidates are strictly liable to insure that each contribution received is permitted under these Rules. Prohibited contributions must be returned promptly. Within three days of the return of any contribution, the candidate or candidate's campaign returning the contribution shall provide to the Election Supervisor an affidavit identifying the original source and date of the contribution being returned, the amount of the returned contribution, the person to whom or entity to which the contribution was returned and the date on which the contribution was returned.
As the contributions received in response to Clair's improper use of union resources are, for that reason, prohibited contributions, the recipients of those contributions bear strict liability for the Rules violation, even if they are unaware that the contributions are prohibited. Article XI, Section 1(b)(14) emphasizes this point in the following terms:
Ignorance by a candidate, by a union and/or by an employer that union or employer funds or other resources were used to promote a candidacy shall not constitute a defense to an allegation of a violation of these Rules.
Here, we have no evidence that Flynn was aware of Clair's improper use of union resources to solicit contributions in his behalf. However, Coli was aware, at least as of the date our investigator interviewed him, that the contributions were improper but has not returned the contributions that resulted from Clair's solicitation.
Remedy
When the Election Supervisor determines that the Rules have been violated, he "may take whatever remedial action is deemed appropriate." Article XIII, Section 4. In fashioning the appropriate remedy, the Election Supervisor views the nature and seriousness of the violation as well as its potential for interfering with the election process. Although no protest was filed in this matter, the Election Supervisor has remedial authority pursuant to Article XIII, Section 4 in "any investigation undertaken … with or without a protest." See also Local 20 Business Agent Fund, supra.
We order the following remedy with respect to Clair:
1. Clair is ordered to cease and desist from using union resources to solicit campaign contributions.
2. Clair is further ordered to sign the notice to officers, executive board members, business agents, employees and attorney of Local Union 726 attached to this decision and to hand-deliver it to all such persons within two (2) working days of the date of this decision. A copy of the notice must also be posted on the bulletin boards in Local Union 726's office and remain posted for ninety (90) consecutive days.
3. Clair is further ordered to sign the notice to members of Local Union 726 attached to this decision and to post it on all union bulletin boards under the jurisdiction of the local union within five (5) working days of the date of this decision and to maintain such posting for thirty (30) consecutive days.
4. Clair is further ordered to pay Local Union 726 $100 within two (2) working days of the date of this decision, to reimburse the local union for the improper use of its personnel and equipment in preparation of the solicitation memorandum.
5. Within two (2) working days of completing the remedy set forth in paragraphs 1. through 4., Clair is ordered to provide an affidavit of compliance to our office.
We order the following remedy with respect to the Hoffa/Flynn and the Hoffa/Coli campaigns:
1. Each campaign is ordered to return all contributions received from Falzone, Mercantante, Hurley, Melone, and Woodruff within two (2) working days of this decision. We do not order that Clair's contributions be returned, as we find that he did not make the contributions in response to his own memorandum but because he was asked to do so by Rainville. We also do not order that Fiori's contribution be returned; that contribution was made to a different campaign organization well before Clair prepared and circulated the improper solicitation memorandum.
2. Within two (2) working days of completing the remedy set forth in paragraph 1., each campaign is further ordered to submit to our office the affidavits required by Article XI, Section 1(b)(13).
Local Union 726 is presently conducting its delegate and alternate delegate election, with the tally of ballots to be performed on Saturday, March 18, 2006. We find no likelihood that the improper conduct of Clair found here has affected the results of that election because his conduct had a very limited audience and the funds that were contributed were not used in the delegate and alternate delegate election.
Finally, we find that Coli and Rainville also should have taken steps to insure, in the first instance, that requests for contributions made at Rainville's suggestion for the benefit of Hoffa, Coli and Flynn did not violate the Rules. Further, once Coli and Rainville were on notice of Clair's improper action, they should have taken remedial action promptly, as required by Article XI, Section 1(b)(13) of the Rules. For this reason, we order Coli and Rainville to sign the notice to all officers, business agents and employees of all local unions under the jurisdiction of Joint Council 25, attached to this decision, and post it on all bulletin boards at all such local union offices. This posting must be completed within two (2) working days of this decision and must remain posted for ninety (90) consecutive days. Coli and Rainville shall supply an affidavit of compliance to our office within two (2) working days of completing this posting. We do not order a similar notice posting by Flynn, as we have found no evidence that he was aware of Clair's improper action, either before or after it was taken.
The remedies ordered here are consistent with those imposed in the Local 20 Business Agent Fund, Richards, and DiPietro decisions referenced above.
A decision of the Election Supervisor takes immediate effect unless stayed. Lopez, 96 EAM 73 (February 13, 1996).
Any interested party not satisfied with this determination may request a hearing before the Election Appeals Master within two (2) working days of receipt of this decision. The parties are reminded that, absent extraordinary circumstances, no party may rely upon evidence that was not presented to the Office of the Election Supervisor in any such appeal. Requests for a hearing shall be made in writing, shall specify the basis for the appeal and shall be served upon:
Kenneth Conboy
Election Appeals Master
Latham & Watkins
885 Third Avenue, Suite 1000
New York, New York 10022
Fax: (212) 751-4864
Copies of the request for hearing must be served upon the parties, as well as upon the Election Supervisor for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters, 1725 K Street, N.W., Suite 1400, Washington, D.C. 20007-5135, all within the time prescribed above. A copy of the protest must accompany the request for hearing.
