Dennis Clarke, General Secretary (l) Walter Maloney, President (r) NUPW 'Big Boys'

Barbadians would have heard the President of the NUPW Walter Maloney and his lieutenant Dennis Clarke both make major statements at the Union’s Annual Conference opening ceremony. In fact Clarke reported that the NUPW’s train would not be stopped and that it was on a collision course. What Clarke did not say was that between he and Maloney had approved spending of thousands of dollars of the members funds without the approval of the Treasurer and other Executive members. It was reported that there has been a splurge of travel expenses all in the name of a wellness centre and that the spending was to facilitate the travelling of Clarke and another officer. The pair has travelled to Florida twice, Las Vegas, St. Kitts/ Nevis and the female is now scheduled to shift to Italy and Spain.

While this is happening the NUPW is courting some benefactor with a purse so big a loan of US $27 million will be shortly be passed. This money is reported to be a loan to facilitate the construction of a wellness centre on the premises of the union. Information is that the feasibility study was not clear whether the venture was feasible but Clarke and his lieutenant are moving forward.

Word is that this support for the wellness centre comes at a cost to Clarke for his support of the Maloney fancied Buying Club which has itself attracted a grant of $ 1 million. Maybe these union bosses could tell the rest of Barbados where all this money is coming from what is the cost and what is the catch. Surely if this is good money, the government would want to borrow some for Barrack and the Clico shareholders. Surely if the NUPW can afford the interest rates then the government must be able to as well.

At the same time the President of the NUPW has spent more than $6000. 00 in cell phone charges for the months of July and August 2010 and after promising to repay not one cent has been repaid and Maloney still has use of the same phone.

Worse still is the $10,000.00 charged by the son of the General Secretary for managing a web site. Independent valuers have put the fees for the service rendered to the NUPW at $50.00 and $1500.00 Yet Clarke in a faus pax got the Conference to agree to pay his son $10,000.00 a fee that the treasure has refused to pay.

Last year the NUPW was thrown into confusion when the General Secretary (Clarke) and President (Maloney) went to a funeral in Jamaica without any discussion with the other executive members. This year money has been spending like sand without their approval including a cell phone bill of over $6000.00 under the name of the president.

It surely is a runaway train at the NUPW.

    Why is Clarke and his side kick doing so much travelling?? What are they investigating?? What are they looking for?? Are they even qualified to advice and make recommendations on any wellness centre. I DOUBT IT, But maybe someone can tell me otherwise.

    It is about time that somebody investigates this dynamic duo of (clarke and maloney) before the Union is parceled out to some loan shark.

    The only reason why I did not make a similar submission is simply because I did not have the time.

    Earlier today, I read a comment by Robert on Are Public Workers Being Sold Out? I could not believe the level of corruption that is allowed to exist and sanctioned by a rent-a-crowd at what passed for the Annual General Meeting, so, before I commented I checked with someone who attended the conference.

    I was informed that there was no resolution on the agenda of the conference to pay clarke’s son any money. Remarkably, however, Clarke’s cousin, Mitchinson Beckles, proposed the resolution and believe it or not the President did not rule that illegal resolution out of order. My understanding is that this money is to pay Clarke’s son for a non existent website. When this outrageous claim was made, the President had the work that was already done valued at no more than $1500.00. As a result, the Executive Committee decided not to pay.

    Now fast forward to August and September 2010, Maloney incurred cell phone bills totalling $6,509.81 (August – $3558.14 & September $2,951.67. As far as I am aware he has neglected or refused to pay a single cent toward the bills. All of a sudden, he and Clarke are now friends both trying to get undeserved money out of the NUPW, with Clarke going as far as calling at least one candidate in the race for the presidency asking him to withdraw in favour of Maloney.

    Seems everything has gone downhill since Mr Goddard left this great instutution that many men and women have given they lives to build up. Dennis Clarke seems more concern in himself and his son reaping ten thousand dollars for doing nothing rather than looking after the interest of public servants.

    i hold no brief for the leadership of the nupw but to attack persons integrity without giving them a chance to respond is unfair.the attempt to mix fact and fiction to embolden the story casts doubts on the credibility of the story. however, that said,the outgoing executive is the most incompetent and ineffective executive to have been elected to manage the affairs of the union having not been able to accomplish anything other than fighting among themselves but not having the balls to resign some say because of the stipend in the interest of the organisation. i hope that after the election they remain the outgoing executive.

    i am not representing maloney but the publishing of what should be supposedly confidential information to union members is unethical and shows the depths of despair to which the nupw has sunk. the nupw has structures in place to deal with these thingsand if we do not have the balls to so do then spiutefully disclosing union business to non-union members to satisfy one’s ends can put the image of the organisation in a bad light as the responses on the blog indicate. maloneys come and maloneys go but undermining an organisation to get at somebody can damage the credibilty of the organisation and impact on the lives of innocent bystanders whose interest the union for all of its shortcomings serve. whenever elections are in the air, persons vying for office especially the old guard who do not want to give up the sweets resort to unsavoury tactics to remain in office even if they have done nothing to help the union progress. until the lazy membership takes an interest in what is going on at the union and offer themselves for service then the same old, same old environment would prevail. it serves maloney right, he should have stepped down and the treasurer as well who signs when it is to his benefit.

    What is so private about it ruth. BU removed the cellphone number. Why can’t we discuss why the President has incurred mobile telephone bills to the tune of $6,000.00? The wider public needs to have confidence if this organization is running its business efficiently? After all we are potential customers.

    These phone bills were incurred while the President was out of the island on VACATION in New York. He was not on union business. Incidentally, the National Council of the union never authorised the President to have a cell phone.

    The story behind the acquisition of those cell phones would be quite funny, if it weren’t so tragic. The senior staff of the union were paid $85 per month as a telephone allowance. One executive member convinced the others that $85 for the six staff members concerned was too high. This lady then negotiated a package with Digicel in order to reduce cost and at the same time, the Executive was included in the package without authority. Incidentally this same lady incurred a bill of $1,300 last year.

    The union was paying $510 per month as telephone allowances for six members of staff. That was thought to be to high, and in two month, the cost could be “reduced” to $6,509.81 for one officer alone. That would have been the cost for the staff for 12 months.

    Clearly these “imbeciles” are abusing the system which they are mandated to protect given that the power of the union is to safeguard the interest of the working classes – not to breach the walls of integrity by living high on the HOGG* – misappropriating through so-called legitimate means; taking advantage of perks* and gratuity which few in their membership is even able to enjoy…

    CORPORATE* Barbados as I have said time and again (both in local and in international media) must deal with the wholesale corruption at all levels of its institutions…

    From government to the private sectors – there must be root & branch reform of its system of accountability, transparency and integrity…

    If this C.R.A.P (Critical Rejection Arsehole Pressure) is allowed to continue, we will end up worst off than even JAMAICA* (in its heyday) or HAITI* (at the height of its maladministration)…

    These are the “Aims and Objectives” of the NUPW…

    The questions that must be asked is – have any of these been breached by its officers?

    The basic aims and objectives of the NUPW are as follows:

    * to completely unionise all public officers and employees;
    * to effectively bargain and negotiate of the behalf of its members;
    * to improve and protect wages and conditions of employment of all its members;
    * to promote good interpersonal relationships between members and their employers;
    * to promote trade unionism and Credit Unionism; and
    * To promote generally the total well-being of its members economically, socially and culturally…

    Are concerned citizens wondering why http://www.nupwbarbados.com/index.html has not been updated in recent memory?

    Is this website meant to provide relevant, contemporary, up-to-date info – and if so, whose responsibility is it and why has there been negation of that responsibility? Additionally, what is the annual cost to host this site and is the webmaster paid to maintain something that is clearly not functional?

    Answers anyone?

    I believe that members of this instution must take a more active role and try to get to the bottom of these burning issues and have them resolved and out of the public’s domain.

    It only takes a certain amount of signatures to have a Special Meeting convened. Each and every member has a right to review any file or document within this instution and so they should stand up and ask for answers and demand documentation.

    I can only suggest that members come together, get some signatures and request a Special Meeting ASAP.

    This is a great institution and only the membership can stop this runaway train.

    You are quite correct when you say that you need a certain amount of signatures to convene a special general meeting. You need 50 signatures, but it is not as simple as that, ask the airport wokers who tried.

    They submitted a petition calling seeking a no-confidence in the General Secretary. They accused him of calling the acting CEO at the Airport and informing him of the workers plans. They accused him of betrayal. Rather than convene the meeting, the President wrote to the workers informing them that the petition was out of order since it should have been addressed to the President and not the General Secretary as it had been.

    The workers submitted another petition, this time addressed to the President. Rather than convene the meeting, they sent it to a lawyer who advised the union that the petition was not in order because it was addressed to the President.

    The General Secretary then had his lawyer write to the one who they perceived circulated the petition and threatened to sue him.

    The meeting was never convened.

    I am quite sure that the rules of this organisation speaks clearly regarding the procedure for convening a Special General Meeting. If such procedure is followed then the GS nor President cannot decide not to carry out the wishes of the membership.

    The President is an elected Officer and the GS’s appointment is sanctioned by Council.

    What I am saying is that they were both placed there by the membership and if they refuse to be guided by the rules of the organisation then its about time that the same membership have them both replaced.

    They have to put NUPW first and self interest last. When things are not going right, they have to lead the fight.

    So please, don’t put your tails between your legs and run around blaming everybody but yourselves.

    You are there to fight for the rights of each and every Pulic Servance not collect fat stipends and other perks.

    to david- what wider public you talking about. only financial members can speak and vote at nupw meetings and conferences, not the wider public. they are rules and procedures governing the conduct of the union’s operations and members need to get up off their asses and look after their affairs and not be guided by innuendo anfd invective put in the public domain for self-serving purposes now elections are in the air and some of the same beneficiaries of the unsavoury practices want to jump ship and make themselves look good. david, i am not supporting maloney’s extravaganceor purported infelicity but the matter was not swept under the carpet from what my sources tell me but was discussed and a decison for settlement made. if mr maloney has not complied then the rules provide for sanctions against him or anybody else for that matter. lest you forget, the former general secretary who was a powerhouse hadto resign because he did not want to comply with the wishws of council with which he did not agree. so, they are avenues for address but members need to participate. spreading dirty linen in public serves no purpose in my view.

    You remain rooted to that position but you should know the world has passed you by. The public is now demanding transparency in every sphere of activity. The decisions of the NUPW do and will impact the public. Voting is for members who is disputing such.

    Notice you have been selective in your response to Caswell on the cellphone matter. Who approved the package never mind the payback arrangement.

    this business at the NUPW stinks and at a time when all Barb adians are encouraged to be mindful of the state of the econmy the NUPW appears to be loaded with money

    Those in defense of the behaviour of the President and the General Secretary should get a copy of the rules and check out the genesis of these problems. It was last year when MONEY was not paid to these two gentlemen. THis year again it is money to the General secreatry who is now claiming that he is owed $4000.00 for some bill he paid and $400.00 for another every year the General Secretary is using the members Conference to complain about money for he and his family

    I went to sleep but i just get-up to put in my piece! You all of wunna know more than wunna saying. The reason that Clarke and Maloney do so much stool is because of the people they have to answer to are inept. I suspect that some of these ppl commenting on this blog, cause wunna finding the time so wunna have an interest.

    Before I go on I believe that Maloney shpuld go at all cost, no reservations about that. Then Clarke might shape up because right now they hunting in pairs. Caswell would know, but all of will know now that I like to ask foolish questions. Here are a few!
    1. Buying-club- Why can’t the NUPW and its freinds realise that a buying club is inpractical and next to impossible? with all the of the established competition out there who will drive up to Newtoon to buy sanitary napkins, pigeon-peas, rice, macaroni in bulk? Where will the cheap rice come from? China, made with the special chinese manure. but for the passt 4 years we have been hearing this and no councillor questioned why it is that now in a union election year that they now fiddling with a business plan. This sugar was blasted in the media for a long time. This gross deception must stop! so stop maloney from getting the chance to see himself on tv.

    2. Medical Centre- How can ppl sit down for two years and hear Dennis Clarke talk about a medical centre without a project plan and disclosure of details that for a long time was a bigger secret than whio shot JFK? How can a man come to the general body and council and talk about a USD $26 million project that he and a junior officer were keeeping a secret, fearing the info would become public? How can a Project that will rquire a financial donor of such proportions be a secret? Ghaddafi sending the money? So wunna think Clarke dumb? No the ppl that Clarke report to DUMBER! That project should-a -get stop a long time ago

    3. favours to selected staff- Why nobody dont question Clarke when only one member of staff works hard enough to merit study tours to look at Medical centres around the world and their own separated office? Why that same officer is the only staff member to get a regrading (upgrading)?

    4. New Audi A6- How come the GS gets a car at the pleasure of the Council, yet when he got the car of his choosing the council did not know what or when he was getting that car?

    Ya see why Clarke and Maloney can do what they like! If I was Clarke I wuold say that wunna owe my son $100 000 not $10000 cause wunna dumb! I goiin to save a few questions until somebody can give me answers to these ones.

    I support your thinking. First it starts with the Councillors who are selected to protect the interest of the President and The General Secretary who both belong to lodges.

    I sit on Council and listen to the Councillors and some of them hardly know the rules of the Union hence they do not know when the rules are broken. They simply support these gentlemen blindly.

    I used to think that Joe Goddard was underminding Clarke but i have seen the light of day. The problem is Clarke. He underminded Caswell, Derryck and senior members of his staff and he is not confidential.

    Walter Maloney must be stopped at all cost from wrecking futher havoc on this Union, he has no qualifications and yet he has been promoted to a fixed grade position, yet officers must have degrees and this unqualified political negocrat benfitted after this government came into power because he is a political yard fowl.

    None of his current excutive members have any confidence in him, but remember his father was Lionel Maloney. The guy is an opportunist and has milked the Union for six years. He is running with two person who dont have a clue about the union and i am made to understand that Clarke is canvassing for him and his two goats, i was further made to understand that Clarke is taking him everywhere with him to discuss grievances, Lord have mercy. That guy dont even know how to solve a problem or construct a proper sentence every thing is done for him. He believes that he can continue to use his voice to impress, that is for people who dont have any sense like him.

    He was recently embarassed at one of the meetings Clarke took him to, but the man has no shame. if memebers of the Union do not take a close look at what is going on in their union, they will wake up and find that it is a one two man club. Wonder why there is so munch apathy among Union members and there is such a low turn out at elections.

Who prepared the business plans for the buyers club that you spoke of a saturday and what was the cost has it been paid as yet . A pensioner like me wants to know these answers .by the way Clarke i recall an officer from Education a few years in the press saying that you had call her informing her that her officers were going on strick ans she had a change to surprise them and not them surprise her ,you have always been like that ,now you got five people at d air port fired last week and one from tvet ,come on go home and let some one else do that work -that organisation need to see you two go .

    I was not really paying attention to the NUPW elections until last night (Thursday) when CBC sought to give Maloney an unfair advantage in the guise of news. That did not surprise me , however, my shock came when I saw the young man standing next to him. I understand that the young man is Maloney’s running mate for the post of 1st Vice President.

    For those of you that do not know him, let me introduce you to him. He is Akani Mc Dowall, an environmental health officer, formerly known as public health inspector. He is a young man that is used to starting at the top. He was appointed ahead of several persons who were senior and better qualified than he was when the appointments were made. His name was not included on the list of persons to be appointed when the list was sent from the Ministry of Health to the Personnel Administration Division. Coincidentally, his father happened to be the Senior Personnel Officer, at Personnel Administration Division, that was assigned to the Ministry of Health.

    Roslyn Smith had been trying for some time to get justice for the officers that were superseded, by Mc Dowall, but she has been experiencing a number of obstacles. You could imagine who her next obstacle would be if he is elected as 1st Vice President.

    You would recall that a man called Coppin was dismissed without just cause from the NHC, and he approached NUPW for representation. Maloney was promoted to his job and the matter of representing Coppin ended there. So you see that Mc Dowall and Maloney are in good company.

But you aint so dumb cause u know that maloney and Clarke in lodges, congrats to you. I hope that you get to voice your opinion at the council meetings and get the nuion on a good path.

    But wunna cant call the two members running with Maloney goats that’s not fair. True there are very inexperienced and hoping to get an easy ride to the executive. Caswell what you said about Akanni mc Dowall is true I understand. i heard he considers maloney a mentor so how should we should be judged ‘harshly’. he will soon know what god he is serving!

    I watched the tv news Caswell spoke about and was saddened to see that Maloney chose the young gentlemen to be with him and not his elected 1st VP ,that should tell you about the nature of the man and as for the young man that was with him I am told that he is married to a nice young saintly lady who appears to have been sheltered. Only grave diggers start at the top. That young man dont even understand the rules of the Union, he ought to be ashamed of what he did. I think he should ask God for forgiveness and repent his errant ways.

    Wolves hunt in pairs and dont you expect the dynamic duo to hunt in pairs and prey on unsuspecting Public Officers who are only interested in salary increases. Public Officers need to take back their Union else they would wake up and find they have no say in the running of their Union.

    Yes, I heard of the rumour that Dennis Clarke and Maloney are canvassing the “Roving Polling Box” area, but union memebers should not be surprisedbox Dennis deals with grievances at the Arawak Cement Company and he ought to be ashame to have a roving box, I wonder why at this stage such an action was taken. I smell a RAT.

    I hope that Public Officers will rise up and send Maloney packing he has been President for eight years and HAS done nothing for the Union but engraciate himself and get promotions. He used Mr. Wood to get his first real promotion. I was relaibly informed that he assaulted an emplyee of his work place by slapping her on his behind but nothing came out of that. The man is an egotistic, selfish and cares about no one, I wonder if he gives his wife attention as she is the one that aLlows him to drive about in that fancy duty free jeep as she is entitles to such.

    LORD save this Union from destruction and I would pray that you d deleiver Public Officers from the hands of evil. You dont want to see a wonderful institution self destruct
    .

    LORD i pray that you would speak to the memebers of the NUPW and ask them to pay more attention in their Union for you only know best.AMEN.

    i surrender with a smile. licks like peas but i contend that untruths mixed with truths distort the picture and undermine the image of the organisation. i support the view that all the old executive members should go peacefully in the interest of the organisation.

    When you believe it cannot get any worse at the NUPW word is that the sidekick has packed her bags acquired her winter gear and searching for a ticket to get to Italy and Spain. An executive reported that they did not approve the visit to Europe becuase there was no justification. In the 1st place the course has no relevance, the cost is prohibitive, no other staff were considered and most of all the sidekicked has NEVER passed any other course before. She is dumb dumb dumb.

    It is reported that Maloney and clarke promissed that if she borrowed the money and go they will give it back after the election.
