Before i believe this I need the actual report… the union never lets out that kind of infomation on the person such as 6 adopted children and the news paper wouldnt care what union he belongs to. it sound to me like it is posibly the works of the utu propoganda again which does not suprise me.

Believe what you want. As I said, I posted from the UTU site so I’m sure they added to the original newspaper story.

Here is a link to the local news paper, the Daily Breeze, and the original story.
