THERE EXISTS EVIDENCE NEIL MCFARLANE'S ADMINISTRATION IS SENDING ABOUT CONDUCT THEY FEEL IS PERMISSIBLE IN THE WORKPLACE. CONDUCT THAT IS EVIL IN THAT IT'S ABUSIVE AND DEMEANING TO THE HUMAN SPIRIT. CONDUCT THAT IS PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY INAPPROPRIATE. AS A VICTIM OF CYBER STALKING, MOBBING AND WORKPLACE BULLYING THIS BLOG IS MY VOICE AGAINST THAT CONDUCT.

HENRY BEASLEY - WARNING, ADULT CONTENT - PART III
“In reaction against the age-old slogan, "woman is the weaker vessel," or the still more offensive, "woman is a divine creature," we have, I think, allowed ourselves to drift into asserting that "a woman is as good as a man," without always pausing to think what exactly we mean by that. What, I feel, we ought to mean is something so obvious that it is apt to escape attention altogether, viz: (...) that a woman is just as much an ordinary human being as a man, with the same individual preferences, and with just as much right to the tastes and preferences of an individual. What is repugnant to every human being is to be reckoned always as a member of a class and not as an individual person.”
Part III
INTEGRITY
I don't support anyone who abuses another person or animals or our environment or the trees.... or our water, air or landfills....
......and I don't support the supporters of the supporters.......
or their followers
or contributors
or those who know about it and don't speak out!
... be it physical, emotional, verbal, sexual, economic or through power.
... be it in person, or through the internet.
or this guy with the finger who allows for the public degradation of women on his Blog and two of his supporters who are running for President and Vice President of our Union.
Al Margulies,
Owner of Rantings of a Former Trimet Bus Driver Blog.

One of many screen shots I've captured over the years showing abuse to women. He says he doesn't have control over the comments. Check out the red arrow. I have control over comments on this blog so I know he does.
He provides a forum for hatred from anonymous sources. And, sometimes the sources aren't anonymous. Nevertheless, it's Misogynist. He brags about the thousands of views he receives from not just our region but from around the world. He displays pictures of those he writes about so his anonymous commentors can recognize their victims if they happen to be walking down the street or shopping somewhere.
If the screen shot above isn't enough, there's this one:
ON DEFENDING A MINOR'S SEXUAL ABUSER
Screen shot published February 22nd, 2016. Just 11 days ago.
Beasley and Day have supported and participated in Margulies Blog for years, but as candidates for President and Vice Presidential positions in our Union, I find it appalling and degrading to all of us.
Apparently, they only care about their campaigns and use the site to get their message out and slander their competition. Not the type of behavior one would expect from adults wanting to run the Union.

Margulies encourages hatred. Henry Beasley in my experience is Misogynist. Day, in my experience is more like he hates everyone. If you look at him the wrong way he'll file preferring of Charges against you or write you up to HR. More on that later.
Screen shot was captured from a FB conversation from a co-worker who was questioning Henry's silence when he was confronted about signing the Preferring of Charges petitions and his actions against women. This was from the first election cycle.
... and again this last several days. He's refused to make a statement regarding my entry about his Plagiarism. Most people, when confronted say something. They apologize and move on as we all do. Not Henry.

HENRY BEASLEY WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT OF ATU 757, PART II
From an earlier post.
Originally 5/28/2015
INTEGRITY
What makes this whole thing so disturbing are two of the signatures on the petition are also running for the two top election positions. Plus Beasley's wife signed it.
A week or two ago, I asked if he signed it. He went silent then succumbed later to the pressure he was getting for ignoring it.
Then this last week another member asked him if he signed it. He again went silent then refused comment online... screenshot below is from that member's comments after running into Beasley.

"Proud to sign... but not proud to admit that you signed it?!!
Preferring of Charges petition filed against Bruce Hansen and Dan Martin.
'Preferring of Charges' is the start of a process to blackball a Union member from their representation and benefits. Chris Day is an expert at filing these. He's filed many over the years against members he didn't like for one reason or another. I got to be the first! In this case, he filed against Dan Martin who was also his competition in the race for Vice President. He then did a background check on Martin and sent the results to the Oregonian and Willamette Week. That's a second way to get rid of your competition, just in case the first way didn't work. Then he filed another one but this time against Bruce Hansen who was competing against Henry Beasley for President. Henry Beasley caught on quickly as to how Chris planned on winning so he and his wife made sure their signatures were the first on the Preferring of Charges petition Chris created again, but this time against Mr. Hansen.
Filing 'Preferring of Charges' against a Union member for pettiness or out of fear of loosing an election is one of the most ANTI-UNION things any member can do to another. All of those signatures, all of those people he asked to sign it are Union brothers and sisters they (Chris and Henry) brought into their world of hatred who willingly took sides against one of their own, in the name of solidarity.

HENRY BEASLEY WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT OF ATU 757 - PART I
INTEGRITY
PLAGERISM
Challenges were filed against the last ATU 757 election which took place last June. The US Department of Labor (DOL) investigated and determined a new election was in order for the Offices of President and Vice President.
Shirley Block
President ATU 757
Exciting times. I believe things happen for a reason and I believe the membership got to see that Shirley Block's interest in the Presidency was way more about prestige and money then Union business. She fired the in-house lawyer and hired law clerks, one of whom flunked the State Bar 3 (three) times. So these law clerks were gonna be up against Trimet's six figure lawyers. Labor law is big business. Unions are dependent upon them. Shirley Block set these clerks up as mince meat and our members as well. The Union would end up paying insane fees to outside lawyers to clean up their mess. She also used the members private e-mail list to campaign.
Nevertheless, this posting's about Mr. Beasley.
I'm asking that members look at his record and what he's done in comparison to his rhetoric.
Experience, qualifications and integrity is everything and not particularly in that order.
Henry Beasley, Bus Operator
Running for President of ATU 757
1.) HE DOSEN'T HAVE EXPERIENCE! According to him, he was offered a 'shop steward' position this last August but refused. He's not interested in running for Executive Board Officer. He has his own idea about how the Union should be run and it sounds as though it's not according to ATU International or local Constitution. Additionally, according to him, he would rather represent a member without Management present. If I understand this correctly, he's giving advise without ATU input. He wants the power of the Presidency without the experience or knowledge. To his favor, he has a wide range of ideas as to how things should be. But then don't we all. lol And those things can only be changed through Constitutional amendments which is horribly time consuming, so they're not immediate solutions or even close, perhaps not even in this lifetime.
2.) He doesn't appear to have a temperament conducive to negotiating. Should he be elected he'll be sitting across the table from Trimet's highly paid six figure negotiator,
Randy Stedman
Executive Director Labor Relations and Human Resources
$193,948.69 per W2 from 2014

This year's a contract year. It's imperative that the person we elect as President, has not just an intellectual balance with Trimet's negotiators but a temperament conducive to compromise. Since we have a 'no-strike' clause our negotiating is limited. It's their game. If the person we elect doesn't work well across the table we're forced into binding arbitration with someone who just wants to get in, get out and go home.
Having said that:
As you can see from the screenshot below by his response to me, intelligence, compromise and patience doesn't seem to be a virtue.
An example. The red circle below is his response to a comment I made about a comment he made earlier on FB regarding a conversation about "stepping up and staying with the issues and not the personalities" I found that statement in direct conflict with his behavior so I came in with my 2 cents. I wanted to bring it up because those same items were at issue with his last quest for the Presidency. To my knowledge he didn't ever cop to it nor did he apologize to those members whom his actions hurt. He, along with Chris Day turned that election process into an ugly despicable dirty mess.
When I called him on it, he answered "Rinse and repeat", which has become a way too frequent response to members who ask questions or make statements. Usually happens when someone's asking for clarification or questioning a statement he made which contradicts something else. He won't cop to his behavior with an apology or an explanation but rather chooses to attack the person asking. As a result, there've been concerns within the membership about his level of patience' and his ability to negotiate with those of whom he disagrees. "Rinse and Repeat" is a put down. It feels like he's telling you to F*ck off. As a member of this Union seeking the highest position, he invalidates members concerns and is Misogynist in his dealings with strong (or not so strong) women who speak out.
3.) Plagiarism / Honesty
www.thefreedictionary.com/Plagerism
I noticed that several comments on FB, written by Chris Day were plagiarized. We were in a discussion about it when Mr. Beasley popped in.
First arrow, in all fairness to Henry, since he was there, I asked if he too was involved in plagiarizing. Had he answered honestly or respectfully I wouldn't have pursued it. But, like I said before, things tend to happen for a reason.

Second arrow, Henry's response "Still grasping at straws, to stay in the conversation. OK, but won't bite."
So I exposed him:

The blue screenshot further down is from his campaign platform.

First paragraph: "... who represents and defends the interests of her/his fellow employees but who is also a labor union official. Rank-and-file members (he excludes "of the union") hold this position voluntarily (he excludes the area between the parenthesis) maintaining their role as an employee (he changes "of the firm" to "companies we serve). As a result the, the union stewart becomes a significant link and conduit of information of information between the union leadership and rank-and-file workers."

While watching the video, take notice the soft black and white tones and his mannerisms. It feels and sounds like a well rehearsed marketed production. I found his information mostly incorrect.

3rd paragraph down from the video presentation.
While the information Mr. Beasley provides is informative, it's also intended to create an illusion. Same as the video interview below. I'm not making a decisive judgement about his education or areas of expertise because I don't have that information. I can only go by what I see. What I see is someone who reminds me of a used car salesman in the respect that he appears hungry. Hungry to make the sale and get the commission regardless of the cost to others which in this case would be our membership. In my opinion, based on what I've displayed here, Mr. Beasley's intent is to create an illusion as to who he is and what he's knows, intellectually in order to sway the election his way.
