===================================<\/p>\n
I. SPECIAL “MEMBER CALLED” MEETING ON MONDAY, JANUARY 4TH<\/p>\n
On January 4th, Monday at 7PM please be at the Local to
\nvoice your opinion.<\/p>\n
Please plan now to be at the special meeting called by concerned
\nmembers about the potential sale and the Local’s methods
\nin regards to the sale. <\/p>\n
Concerned members called for a special meeting to
\naddress their concerns on the building sale and the Local’s
\nconduit in regards to the sale.<\/p>\n
There were three areas of concern to be considered:<\/p>\n
1) Nullification of the Ballots and the reissue of said ballots
\nwith a totally clear meaning, not the duplicitous ballots we
\nwere sent.<\/p>\n
We were informed the the Local would call that Motion out
\nof order. Seems after some research that once ballots are
\nsent they cannot be recalled and must run their course.
\nHow convenient…<\/p>\n
2) The delay of the sale until members are fully informed of
\nall aspects of the sale. Who benefits, who get the money, who
\noversees the money, etc.<\/p>\n
3) Guarantee that all letters and comments sent to the Local
\nabout the sale, pro and con are immediately printed on the
\nLocal’s Website AND in the next print issue of the Overture.<\/p>\n
We need your voice and your support!<\/p>\n
Please be there.<\/p>\n
===================================<\/p>\n
II. RESPONSE TO SIR TESLA<\/p>\n
Sir Telsa wrote in our last blog…<\/p>\n
My thoughts are that the local member\/realtor should
\ndonate his entire post-tax fee to a music school or
\nmusic education program. Or something similar.
\nIt\u2019s a blatant and offensive conflict of interest.<\/p>\n
Here is a response we received:<\/p>\n
Sir Tesla<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
Response to Sir Tesla:<\/p>\n
It’s not a conflict of interest unless the realtor
\nis an officer of the local, or if it can be shown
\nthat one or more officers improperly benefiting
\nfinancially by using this realtor.<\/p>\n
Except for that, why would you want the realtor to work for free?<\/p>\n
—<\/p>\n
Sir Tesla, who saw the comment on the Blog site,.. responds to the writer:<\/p>\n
Question:\u00a0\u00a0Why would the crown jewel in the AFM’s girdle,
\nour beloved Local 47 of Hollywood, want a professional
\nmusician acting as the representing realtor working this
\ndeal? One would think, that for a potential $24 million
\nplus commercial real estate deal (selling the old place,
\nbuying the new place), that the local would employ a
\nprofessional realtor. One that has no real or potential
\nliabilities, conflicts, or entanglements.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
L47 should utilize, and at the same lofty price will
\nbe able to easily find, a deadly, high-powered, full-time,
\nprofessional real estate attorney\/agent at the top of the
\ngame. Not a professional musician moonlighting as a realtor.<\/p>\n
Hire a professional!<\/p>\n
{It\u2019s not a conflict of interest unless the realtor is an
\nofficer of the local, or if it can be shown that one or
\nmore officers improperly benefiting financially by using
\nthis realtor.}<\/p>\n
Sir Tesla writes:<\/p>\n
I believe it’s plainly and obviously a massive conflict of interest…
\nand a huge liability.<\/p>\n
{Except for that, why would you want the realtor to work for free?}<\/p>\n
Sir Tesla writes:<\/p>\n
The realtor should not work for free. He should pass on the work
\nto a suitable realtor that has no possible liabilities or
\nconflicts of interest.<\/p>\n
[EC: To be fair, there are three different realtors working on
\nthe potential sale. Two of which are full time realtors.
\nthe company is “Hilton and Hyland”.
\nhttp:\/\/www.hiltonhyland.com\/<\/p>\n
While we DO have somewhat of a problem with part of the money
\ngoing to a Local 47 member, a current or former RMA member at
\nthat, we must admit it’s not illegal, nor untoward to many. Indeed,
\nmany members have been forced to seek alternative employment
\nowing to the drastic loss of work… and we all know who to look at
\nfor that.]<\/p>\n
