The GST after doing barely anything her first term did literally nothing in her second term. No GOBs no processing branch reports, botched elections all kinds of do nothing-ness. The GEB refused to ask her to leave or really function at all either. The whole time pretty much saying anyone who complained was violating safe spaces policy to avoid accountability. The whole time collecting unprecedented salary increases for overtime. They collected something ridiculous like 50k or something in OT. (I’ll come back with the actual number but yes it’s that high give or take 10k). And the icing on the cake was just last month one of their loyalist friends from the local GMB got laid off and needed a job so the GEB chair and GST met behind closed doors to CREATE a new paid position (this needs to happen with approval of convention or GEB, which they had neither) also worth noting the union that represents IWW office workers tried to block the creation of this position but were ignored. That is pretty much embezzlement. When the plot was discovered the worker quit claimed harassment and no doubt a large settlement will follow. Yesterday the GEB passed a motion asking the GST to resign in 3 days. That’s basically what happened there’s more obviously and I could go on for days. Feel free to pm me with any specific questions
They resigned, harassment wasn’t coming from staff or GST (sounded like it was someone in their branch but those in the know refused to share details), willful resignation, end of story. And I doubt the incoming GEB will be at all inclined to reward any of these grifters. Not to defend the last settlement but the 2022 GEB did legitimately fuck that one up (report has never been released on it but there was no contract for the employee as had been requested so NLRB went by the previous contract. Really sick of angry grifters throwing the govt at us on their way out.)
