It is no secret the BU family maintains a healthy interest in the upcoming election of officers to the executive of the National Union of Public Workers (NUPW), to be held on April 03, 2013. Some may suggest that it should not be the concern of non-NUPW membership, we beg to differ. The government provides a subvention to the NUPW.

On BU we have read comments posted by people who are very close to the NUPW which raise several concerns.

  • General Secretary Dennis Clarke is alleged to be publicly canvassing for Walter Maloney which contravenes stated rules given his role as Chief Electoral Officer
  • Walter Maloney’s mobile bill of $6,500 is a violation of union rules
  • WS Humphrey & Co resignation as the external auditor raises obvious queries
  • Is it true Maloney won only 5 boxes out of 17 last election but was declared the winner? And is it true there was the unusual occurrence of no spoilt or blank votes?
  • Is the age of retirement 65 for NUPW staff which means Clarke should have retired?
  • Is it true that a decision was made to establish a company to act as agent for ICBL to handle NUPW’s Medicare scheme without the prior knowledge of NUPW National Council, the highest decision making body? Can the Medicare scheme be delivered in a more cost effective way?
  • Is the government subvention to be used for training being used for wages and salaries, travel, entertainment allowances and rent? Is there enough grounds for the Auditor General to visit NUPW Dalkeith Headquarters to investigate this matter?
  • Why did the management of the Grantley Adams International Airport (GAIA) i.e. Joe Johnson allow Walter Maloney and team to canvass the GAIA BUT refused Danny Gill and his team?
  • What is the status of the mooted Buyers Club and financial arrangement for the BIDC building?

What BU has unearthed through the years is that many of our organizations need to be transparent in how they pursue their affairs.

    At the Airport around 3:00 p.m. only 40 people had cast their votes. The polls closed at 4:00 and surprisingly 96 people voted in that box. Hmmmm


  2. Fracture
    I want to say this LOUD and CLEAR victory or no victory Dennis Clarke who is 65 must go home. Let him try to configure the national council to keep certain people off; Dash will be mild to the torrent of legality that is waiting in the wing. So long Den Den.

    Another piece of great news Danny Gill is going no where; I thought this would have distracted him but he understand the tief that took place.

    The DLP was proud to claim Maloney’s victory as theirs: they claimed that it is as a result of the DLP juggernaut. They really have no shame.


  4. Fracture
    According to the results Danny Gill got 2 votes in the arawak cement plant box. Danny Gill voted there for himself and it is suspected that the other person voting for him was a Stephan Clarke the son of the GS Dennis Clarke.


  5. To those members of the NUPW who are proud tonight this is what you now face: A revenue authority which shall displace and send home half of the personnel in the agencies that are amalgamated; interviews for positions that were acting in ever since with the jobs going to the DLP person; and promotions and contracts for DLP card carrying people. In fact, I think I shall become a DEM.


  6. Fracture
    I thought I was seeing double but wasn’t you who drove in the NUPW H’Q this evening with six votes for Maloney. Someone indicated that Dennis Lowe did his part as NCC workers and beautify barbados workers went to the polls in your vehicles.


  7. the N.U.P.W elections were well rigged. Why was there no list of C.P.D members at their usual voting station. Was is because the majority of the staff there had thrown their support behind Danny Gill’s team? I cannot believe that the team of political prostitutes will still be controlling the purse strings, cause that is all their are interested in.”The fatted calf”


  8. Ladies and Gentlemen –It is now history the crooks have made it again –i tried but i am told that retired persons did vote again ,that air port box was trouble from the start –there was also some nastyness in the Head quarters box ,well the civil servants got what they wanted -i am home relaxing getting two pensions –go WALTER GO ,you and DENIS GO sell d building do all that you have to do , Await during the Estimates did we see any expenditure for the department of NUPW

    The morning after the day before when Barbadian NUPW members stood shoulder to shoulder and voted against the :
    TYRANNY
    PROPAGANDA
    SMEAR
    VINDICTIVENESS

    that Caswell Franklyn , erice ,Lemuel, Miller and other remnants of the 21st of February, 2013 defeat were spouting on BU.

    Don’t you have a Ministry to run?


  11. The BU family is waiting for the analysis why the Maloney team beat the pants off the Gill team. We know traditional media was sweet on Maloney, was this the door cruncher?

    This is yet another election stolen by the DLP. This coupled with apathy have ensured that the governing party would remain in control of the workers movement. I understand that six persons voted in Speightstown.

    The election was poorly organised with approximately 800 persons voting: I am not counting the number of votes cast, just the number of people that voted. Imagine at the GPO there was no voters’ list of the members who were supposed to vote at that station. As a result, people voted two and three times.

    Mind you, all is not lost, today twenty persons asked forms to join Unity Workers Union.


  13. If DLP surrogates were involved in the campaigning for the NUPW this would classify as being unethical.


  14. Caswell it is good to see you on the losing team again.Sucker.

    I am not surprised that Miller, Lemuel, Tackle, Prodigal and their family members would find solace in your Trade Union shenanigans !


  16. David
    Charles Bostic was with the Gill team and he won for the position of 3rd V.P.


  17. Fractured Brain Less Pimp,

    You are right, if I had to join a union it would be with Unity not the DLP NUPW! So I see you unethical people did the same thing you did in February………fraudulent election again?

    Just as Donville panicked around 2.30 on election day and called Sinkliar in a panic……………….I am losing my seat, I cannot lose my seat, I need reinforcement, Sinkliar said hold on, we coming with reinforcement, you Dems did the same with these NUPW elections. Maloney could not have won without the reinforcement from the corrupt Dems. Shame, shame, shame!

    I just love your name for the Ma Money led Nupw the DLP NUPW.

    The leaders of NUPW have nothing to rejoice about as the apathy and disgust of the members shone through:

    Out of the 2100 people at the QEH only 126 voted,
    6 people voted in Speightstown
    13 voted at the Checker Hall Pavillion

    Those three boxes cost the NUPW $690 to facilitate 145 persons to vote. In addition it had to ask Government to release 9 persons to work in those boxes.

    It is even more laughable when you consider that there were three officials at Speightstown to facilitate six persons voting. Mind you, only about 800 members voted. The extra votes accounted for persons who voted multiple times, and the 56 who purportedly voted in the last hour at the Airport. Out of those 800 persons who voted, Danny Gill got 420 votes. If there weren’t multiple voting the results would have been different.


  20. @Caswell

    Can’t the result be challenged if there is certainty there was voting irregularities?

    See results attached:

    Maloney got 12 in the B. Towers box and 42 in the Barbados Community College which is missing from the chart.

    There is certainty that there were irregularities in the national and now this election. Has anyone taken any steps to challenge the national elections? The same will happen in this one. You will note that Fractured BLP was involved in the rigging of both. That has given me reason to believe that there are not as many crooks as I previously believed: we just have fewer crooks getting involved in several acts of dishonesty. That is why they are hellbent on ensuring that they infect the upper ranks of the Police Force with their supporters.

    NUPW is reported to have 10,000 members, as of today 9,980, and only 800 even bothered to vote which included several retired members who were not entitled. The members could not be bothered.


  22. @Caswell

    If what you have stated is true it is a sad day when yarfowlism and apathy take root to the point where democratic processes are compromised.

    David

    I am informed that the presiding officer at the Post Office polling station and a few other honest presiding officers called the NUPW’s office to report that the poll was being compromised. There was no voters’ list for persons who should have cast their ballots at that station. People voted there and left and voted elsewhere.


  24. One should reasonably expect that Gill, King and company should challenge the result.


  25. David
    people would call and give all sorts of wonderfully “bad” stories about the election, and most of them are true. But try getting these people to come before a court, and then you see the stuff bajans are made of. Ma Money, AC, Sandra and Fractures have to live with what they have done.

    You have made a serious mistake if you think that those four would lose any sleep over what they have done. You should realise that you must have a conscience for it to bother you.


  27. @caswell

    why would maloney and company have a list of every nupw member and danny did not?who would have provided the list to one and not the other?

  28. Caswell Franklyn Avatar

    To the Point

    That is a question that you should be directing to the NUPW’s chief electoral officer, Dennis Clarke, who by the way is working pass the union’s retirement age. He has already said that he will be working to age 70 years, if there is a union left.

    Dennis is comfortable working with Maloney since Maloney is one of the persons in this world that have a bigger void between the ears than Dennis.

    Hi Caswell,

    Now that my assignments
    of 21st February 2013 and 3rd April 2013 have been SUCCESSFULLY completed my next task is to dismantle that PONZI scheme you are presiding over called UNITY.

    Those 20 ‘new members’ you recently talked about are been led up a garden path like you did to Mr. Stanton Gittens who worked at PAD.

    Stay tuned


  30. seems to me like Caswell has some ‘ fractured cement glue’ stucked on the bottom of his feet.


  31. THE BIGGEST LOSERS
    It would be easy to think I mean Danny and Caswell, but then again I do!!

    Do me and all the other ppl that wish to see changes at the NUPW a really big favour. Next time mount a serious campaign not only coming on the BU to attack “Mamoney”. Honestly dont bring Danny Gill again. Find another candidate. I never thought that Danny was the ‘ideal’ person to beat mamoney.
    the real loser again is the NUPW. Why is it that all of us go this route. washing dirty linen fot the www to see. shame on us. I hope we can drop this in the next two years.
    See we have hgiven mamoney a new lease on life. he is already talking about who he plans to have working at the NUPW. Dont know why he is doing it, the Pres cannot cakll that shot. So it sounds like restructuring Mamoney style. I hope this does not include further access to the credit-card. We can keeep an eye out for his behaviour in the near future.

    So as we break for the next 23 months I wish that we can all move in the positive. I anticipate a rough road in the public service. Just ask the clerical officers. Caswell good luck with the Unity. I hope that you grow, maybe then I can get a lil pick with you. Come back as a consultant. after all good help is not hard to find.

    Hi Joseph Coat,
    Do not hold your breath on the Caswell factor. He is a fraud ! He still owes the Gov’t of Barbados for a car loan !
    He is taking union dues for no more than 20 persons from various places of employment …a.k.a PONZI scheme….which I will dismantle shortly.

    Uneasy lies the HEAD that wears the crown……CROWN of the poor and vulnerable like Stanton Gittens of PAD that Caswell ROBBED !
