The document below indicts Union Secretary Simcoe, industrial Officer Moxham, and Union Organizer Puplett of the Builders Laborers Federation as class enemies. Facts relied upon: At work the week prior to 1/10/96, two twin speaker ghetto blaster type radio systems were intermittently turned on full bore causing excessive noise. Before work 1l10/96, member 200325 reminds all hands, this type of personal equipment on the job, is banned by the union. One Saal says he is the delegate, says he will ring the union and check .. some time later during work, one Moore turns his blaster on full bore. Claimed he wanted to be able to hear John Laws, over the noise of the yard forklift that had a rooted muffler .. 200325 checks back with Saal the bug delegate, he says he did not ring the union at all, but telephoned Yates the yard manager, who was on his way. 200325 rings the union, talks to Kerr gets abused and hung up on ..drives into union premises, Kerr is busy, while waiting he spots Gary Howcroft former President of the P&D Union, who had wormed his rotten way into the offices of the BWIU.

Quote:

200325 Reminds Howcroft the current campaign the Dockies Union was undertaking, requires him to testify re his relationship with Ron Chapman, like when was the last time he saw him alive, and in whose company was he. And about Batkin and Norm Foorde, and re his hightailing it out of the said Dockies Union, at the time of the 1980 union election campaign, despite the fact he was then Union President, and was a candidate for election to the position of Secretary. [quote]And was he in fact warned he would necessarily be running afoul of elements who might kill him, as they had killed before .. Howcroft sneered, and almost got through turning his lip in contempt, when he had to beat a hasty retreat into the interior of a locked office complex, MT in pursuit.

Kerr arrived back on the scene, shook hands with MT, cluck clucked at the Howcroft chasing incident, listened to the account of what had happened at Bell Scaffolding, explained Ted Puplett was the organizer for that area, rang him  arranging for him to be at Bell's gate which is where he was when MT arrived back.

Briefly explaining the situation to him and being assured in return that double or multi speaker systems were indeed barred from the workplace by the union .. Puplett's clear role, was to upbraid the members for having this gear on the job, explain the concept of bodgey delegates, who rang the boss instead of the union.

Was as iffy as can be, endorse MT as new and fair dinkum delegate and we all go back to work .. Instead Puplett hears Yates out, tells MT to hear Yates out, who says MT is sacked, that he had better get off the premises, or he will have the coppers to him .. all the while Puplett and Saal are smirking and grinning to each other, like vicar and choirboy.[/quote]

Howcroft is rumored to have suffered two broken legs, in about October 1996, could be he approached someone to have M.Timothy seen to, and got seen to himself.

Ron Chapman was an aboriginal Painter & Docker, murdered in 1987, a former Mount Isa miner he had given the union all he had, whose last speech in the union rooms on the Friday before his Sunday night death, was that the time was long overdue for MT to be Union Secretary! Batkin had told a well known stand over man, in the person of Les Smith, who became President after Howcroft's sudden departure, where to get off, after Smith had allegedly proposed he grow marijuana on his Hervey Bay property, members fear Smith murdered him in response..
