Yes - I am still running for President specifically against Paul Thompson and/or any of the following possible candidates: Dan Johnson, David Hakey, Mike Futhey.
In general, I am also running against any member that might seek the office of President, but has not demonstrated any efforts to reform the UTU or acted to removed the officers that have been identified as being members or associates of the UTU Enterprise.
No - I have not joined in an alliance with any officer in the UTU. In addition, I do not approve of the operation of the UTU by the current administration.
What are my plans for the future: My current priorities are: 1) relocate my residence, 2) establish campaign headquarters, 3) build a campaign team of loyal UTU members that are ready and willing to fight for their union, 4) dedicate as much time as possible educating the membership on the losses they have sustained because of the greed of a few good men, turned crooks.
For those that have sent checks to help in my efforts to help the members regain control of their union, the checks remain on my desk and will not be deposited until such a time a set-up a separate account. If this is a problem let me know and I will return your check.
Until I get set-up at my new location, and regardless of what you may hear - unless you hear it from me, my determination to advance the creation of a "corrupt free" union is unwavering.
As always, I solict your comments, questions, or concerns.
Roger Griffeth
Candidate - President of the UTU
