Teamsters Local 707, Nassau OTB, the only place where the members have never seen a seniority list.
New York Local 707 voted today for change, when the United Teamsters Slate won the election over a 20-year incumbent.
Newly
elected officials John Kelder Sr, President; George Ford, Vice
President; Daniel Sabatino, Secretary-Treasurer; Susan Oddo, Recording
Secretary; and Gloria Moran, Trustee; decided to run for office when it
became clear that under the incumbent’s watch the 707 pension fund was
going into bankruptcy.
“Our local was moving in the wrong direction. Our members are sick of
lacking representation, and want leadership who will challenge Hoffa
and fight for change in our International Union,” says Kelder, “I’m not
one to bang the drum about a problem if I can’t do something about it.
But United Teamsters Slate won’t sit back and watch as our union gets
destroyed.”
John Kelder works at YRC and is a 30-year Teamster and a long-time
activist. He petitioned to help accredit Tim Sylvester and the Teamsters
United slate. Congratulations to John, the new officers and the
members of Local 707.

The
Bellone administration, which three years ago lobbied for a local
casino to help bail out the bankrupt Suffolk Off-Track Betting Corp. and
fiscally ailing county, has just become the latest and most unexpected
roadblock for the tortured project.
County attorneys, called to appear before federal
bankruptcy Judge Carla Craig late last month, are opposing a motion that
would require the county itself to issue building permits for a
proposed casino to be located on 31 acres in Medford.
The motion comes after Suffolk OTB in August asked the
court to force the state Gaming Commission or Brookhaven Town to review
site plans and issue building permits for the 90,500-square-foot casino,
which would have 1,000 electronic slot machines called video lottery
terminals. Both entities earlier had refused to act.
Lawyers for OTB, the county, Brookhaven, the state and OTB
creditors are scheduled to appear in Craig's Manhattan courtroom
Thursday, at which time OTB officials hope for a ruling.
County Attorney Dennis Brown maintains Suffolk has no
power to act and neither the capacity nor the authority to regulate
building. He added OTB is a separate public benefit corporation over
which the county has no control. Brown charged OTB is "trying to use
this court . . . to evade the ability of the public to have input of
what is actually developed . . . in a particular neighborhood." He added
OTB should instead sue Brookhaven Town in state court to force it to
approve its site plan.
However, Craig, in the Oct. 28 hearing, gave a strong
indication of where she stands. "This is the most self-defeating thing
I've seen and I've seen a lot of self-defeating things," she said. "It's
beyond my comprehension frankly that you are not doing everything you
can to get this built" rather than put Suffolk OTB "further in the
hole."
She also criticized Brown for giving her "a lot of double
talk" when she repeatedly asked why the county cannot give building
permits to OTB as it does for itself. She said the county is "perfectly
capable" of doing the needed reviews; "they do it all the time" for
their own buildings.
OTB lawyers say there is no attempt to evade scrutiny and
OTB is doing needed environmental reviews, has applied to the health
department for sewer permits and is willing to pay the county for any
costs involved in processing permits. "We're not trying to evade, we're
just trying to get started," said Christopher Graham, OTB bankruptcy
lawyer.
They also said that OTB needs no site plan review and that
the secretary of state issued regulations in 1998 that allows counties
to enforce building rules for local OTBs where the town does not act.
Brown maintained those rules are aimed at upstate OTBs, which cover more
than one county.
However, town officials have issued a letter to OTB saying
it meets zoning requirements and its attorney says the town has no role
in reviewing the project. The town planning commissioner also listed
nearly a dozen projects in the last 20 years -- including two police
precincts, the new county jail and the former Foley nursing home -- for
which the county sought no town reviews.
Robert Christmas, Brookhaven's attorney, also said that
OTB has strong county ties, noting all three OTB board members are
appointed by the county legislature and the county is the major
beneficiary of OTB profits. "This is not some distant entity to the
county," he said. "It may be some strange kind of bastard government
child, but if it is a bastard government child, it's the county's."

New Argentine President Mauricio Macri Faces Tough Road Ahead
Empty government coffers, rampant inflation and powerful Peronist opposition complicate leader’s economic overhaul plans

BUENOS AIRES—President-elect Mauricio Macri will take office next
month facing empty government coffers, rampant inflation and a powerful
opposition from the Peronist movement that has dominated Argentine
politics for much of the past 70 years. That is raising questions about
his ability to govern during what could be a tough first year in power.
At
stake is Mr. Macri’s ability to overhaul the economy, but also
Argentina’s collective capacity to overcome concerns that nobody can
govern the country except for Peronists.
Argentina has had only three non-Peronist presidents elected over the past half century. Arturo Illía was overthrown in a coup in 1966. Raúl Alfonsín
resigned amid hyperinflation in 1989 and deadly social protests led
Fernando de la Rúa to flee the presidential palace by helicopter in
2001.
Mr. Macri narrowly won Sunday’s election
amid veiled warnings from his ruling-party rival, Peronist Daniel
Scioli, that a Macri presidency could end in failure and return
Argentina to its the darkest days of its past.
“Don’t leave me alone,” Mr. Macri told Argentines early Monday at his first news conference as president-elect.
His
calls for support come as many Argentines say they are tired of
political conflict and want the government to solve problems such as
rising poverty and crime.
“I don’t think they’ll do to Macri what they did to de la Rúa. People won’t allow it,” said Ana Abad, 45, a fashion designer who voted for Mr. Macri. “Peronists never let people from other parties govern, but that’s over.”
Mr. Macri’s future cabinet chief, Marcos Peña,
says Argentina has changed and that a new generation of governors and
younger politicians favors dialogue over political drama. He notes too
that Mr. Macri and Mr. Scioli—as well as a third presidential candidate,
Sergio Massa, a dissident Peronist—agree on the need to address pressing problems including drug trafficking and currency controls.
“We
think there is a high level of agreement over the challenges that
Argentina faces, and that is the base of our ability to build a
governability agenda distinct from what we have had until now,” he
added.
Not everyone is so certain. “I would not underestimate the
degree of difficulties that the new government will face,” said former
Brazilian Finance Minister Rubens Ricupero. “Because you know, the
Peronists, when they lose, they are fierce in the opposition. They will
exploit everything against the government.”
Non-Peronist
politicians have traditionally had weaker ties to grass-roots movements
and powerful labor groups such as the General Workers Confederation,
which represents leading unions and carried out more than a dozen
nationwide strikes during Mr. Alfonsín’s administration.
Peronists
will also control both houses of Congress, making Mr. Macri the first
president in recent history to take office without the support of a
majority in the Lower House.
While Mr. Macri is inheriting adverse economic conditions, his non-Peronist predecessors faced outright insolvency, says José Luis Machinea, who was Mr. de la Rúa’s economy minister.
Mr.
Alfonsín was also confronted by restlessness within the military and
ballooning foreign debt. And Mr. de la Rúa inherited a dollarized
economy that was so close to collapse that even the most experienced
statesman might have been unable to forestall disaster.
“It was
difficult to negotiate anything with Peronism,” said Mr. Machinea. “But
the country is different now. History never repeats itself, and it
leaves some lessons.”
Mr. Macri, who created his Republican
Proposal Party from scratch just over a decade ago, will also have
unprecedented territorial control. His sidekick as city mayor, María Eugenia Vidal,
will now govern the Buenos Aires province, home to about a third of the
country’s population. And it will be the first time since 1983 that a
non-Peronist runs the province. His Let’s Change coalition will also
govern this capital, the country’s wealthiest district.
While Mr.
Macri is seen as business-friendly, he also favors public schools and
state-funded health care and he has pledged to maintain popular social
programs. Mr. Macri, who came to fame as the successful president of
Argentina’s storied soccer club, Boca Juniors has also made inroads with
some of the working-class voters traditionally represented by tied to
Peronism.
Last month it was Mr. Macri, not departing Peronist President Cristina Kirchner, who inaugurated a statue of Gen. Juan Domingo Perón, the movement’s founder.
“He’s
close to union leaders, and he could cement support if he cuts payroll
taxes, a key demand from labor and one of his campaign pledges,” said Ricardo Romano, who was deputy chief of staff under Peronist President Carlos Menem in the late 1990s.
Meanwhile,
Congressman Sergio Massa, who also broke ranks with Mrs. Kirchner and
won about 20% of the vote in the first round of the presidential
election, has said he act as “a guarantee of governability” for Mr.
Macri.
That could help Mr. Macri pass key legislation in Congress, where Mr. Massa leads a bloc of around 30 legislators. José Manuel de la Sota,
the Peronist governor of Córdoba Province who also ran for president,
has said he too will help ensure that Mr. Macri can govern the country.
“If
he’s flexible, he’ll be able to complete his term, but the departing
administration is leaving a mine field behind,” said Mr. Romano.

Nov 9 A new lawsuit accuses Sanofi SA of stalling development of its multiple sclerosis drug Lemtrada to avoid paying out at least $708 million to rights holders under its 2011 agreement to acquire Genzyme Corp.
The lawsuit, filed on Monday in Manhattan federal court by American Stock Transfer & Trust Co LLC, a trustee for the rights holders, seeks at least $236.1 million in damages.
Genzyme was in the process of developing Lemtrada when Sanofi bought it. Under the merger agreement, Sanofi issued Genzyme shareholders tradable certificates entitling them to payments if Lemtrada won approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration by March 31, 2014, and further payments if it met certain sales benchmarks after that.
Sanofi promised it would make "diligent efforts" to meet those goals, according to the complaint. Instead, the trustee alleges, it deliberately took a "slow path" to bring Lemtrada to market.
The lawsuit claims Sanofi deliberately ignored the FDA's concerns about the designs of its clinical trials, leading the agency to deny the company's first application for approval.
The trustee further claims that even after Lemtrada was finally approved in November 2014, Sanofi skimped on marketing it, while actively promoting a different multiple sclerosis drug, Aubagio. As a result, the lawsuit says, Lemtrada has failed to meet any of the sales benchmarks.
The drug is expected to lose patent protection in September 2017, according to the lawsuit, further limiting its prospects.
Sanofi said in a statement that it was aware of the lawsuit but did not comment on pending litigation.
The case is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company LLC v. Sanofi, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York, No. 1:15-cv-08725. (Reporting by Brendan Pierson in New York; Editing by Matthew Lewis)
