Jim Duncan AFSCME Local 52- and RACKETS

Here is a response to a letter I wrote to Mimi Dixon in April 2006. Since then I realized that Mr. Duncan was under a stipulation where he would ot enforce a grievance, follow a statute or represent his members. It is good to see some activity of your organization in Alaska, but are you doing enough? I think this is criminal Racketeering.

April 4, 2006

Dear Mr. Priestley:

This letter is in response to the e-mail you sent us regarding your "labor dispute that involve[s] illegal hiring policies, hostile work environment, and a union that will not file a timely and accurate Grievance." You suggest that we initiate "some sort of 'clean-up' procedure to dispose of the problem." Before I address your request, I want to tell you something about our organization and the types of cases it litigates.

The National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation was established for the sole purpose of providing free legal aid to employees suffering violations of their human and civil rights because of injustices arising from the abuses of compulsory union membership. We operate under a very narrow charter which places a limit on the types of case in which we can become involved.

An attorney has reviewed the e-mail you sent to us. It is his judgment that the help you seek does not fall within our narrowly drawn charter (i.e., deal strictly with either compulsory union membership and/or payment of union fees.) Further, the legal assistance you seek falls outside our area of expertise.

We regret that the National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation is unable to offer you any assistance.

Sincerely yours,

Mimi Dixon,Legal Assistant

National Right to Work Legal Defense Foundation

Here is Jim Duncan's conflict of interest Stipulation. I think this constitutes EXTORTION, and BRIBERY and CONSPIRACY if not just ethical lapses.

4 pages of Duncan's agreement to neutralize the union and fowl the grievance procedures:

And then there is this "Good Faith Covenant" that was being signed as violations and fraudulent omissions were taking place. Sounds like they could have chosen the name "Covenant of Fraud and Fraudulent Ommissions."

It sounds a little too much like La Cosa Nostra or as translated "This Thing of Ours," rather than any good faith effort to enforce contracts and statutes.

It is worth note that this is signed by David Stewart, who I believe is one and the same David Stewart who was a NRTW Defendant in the State of Washington. Yes, they spill over the borders with their fraudulent schemes and efforts to extort money from workers.

This illegal action was brough to the attention of Union Executives, was complained about, but no action was taken to prevent the illegal hire. I could not even apply for the position (filled by sexual quid-pro-quo) and at the time I was expecting layoff. My Union Business agent and SE Alaska Democratic party chair's comment on the violation she could have prevented was "Rules Don't Matter." Talk about a TRUE hypocrit!
