Urgent Request: Compliance Audit Immediately and Request for Trusteeship Attn: ILA Executive Officers/Counsel

We, the Members of ILA Local 1414 that make up over 50+ years of experience and have extensive knowledge of how this operation should be run and conducted according to the rules and regs of the Dept of Labor, ILA International, District, and Local.. This current administration on the contrary is not conducting the Union’s business according to rule and with complete transparency. We are very concerned that our finances are being misappropriated and other major violations are occurring daily. The former Fin Sec Treasurers provided full disclosure and detailed reports that revealed all financial transactions being received and paid by the Union as well as the credit card and investment statements. Their reports will also include all expenditures and monies spent on trips taken by individuals from the Union. This information is withheld from us as a means to not disclose certain violations and unapproved transactions. When asked about these items, we are met with strong resistance from President Mosley. We know our rights and we are entitled to see all transactions dealing with ‘OUR’ hard earned ‘DUES” money that is taken from our checks weekly! There has not been a fully executed audit in over 7 years and that is by design to further support and continue the coverup. The last audit (forensic) was done in the year of 2020 when the administration changed. William Robinson became the new Fin/Sec Treasurer at the time and that’s where the reporting went down hill and violations started to occur. He does not provide adequate full disclosure financial reports to the Membership. According to our Bylaws, he is required to present them in full at the First Union Meeting of Each Month. He has yet to comply since being in the position. The reports are always 6 to 9 months past due / behind when presented. They are only 2 pages and information and names are blacked out to prevent members from knowing certain transactions, etc…. The former FIn Sec Treasures would provide the membership with a full report of at least 10 – 15 pages that would reveal all money transactions received and paid out. Mr. Robinson is “Best Friends” with the current President, Paul Mosley. The Co-Chairman of the Board is the President’s brother, Stanley Mosley. Board Member Richard Ferguson is the President’s cousin. Business Agents, Derrick Wright and Ahmad Johnson are cousins of William Robinson, Fin/Sec. We strongly feel, due to their family ties and connections, is why the finances and business matters of the Union have not been heavily scrutinized, investigated, or revealed to the membership. Please contact former Fin Sec Treas for further details on this matter. We have knowledge that the President, Paul Mosley with the help of William Robinson, Fin Sec Treas, have transferred millions of Union dollars to Queensborough Bank and Wells Fargo without the Executive Board’s Recommendation and Union Member’s Approval for the President’s personal gains. After negotiating the terms of the agreement, Paul Mosley was granted a conditional approval from the President of Queensborough Bank and Senior Lending Officer, Mike English (Savannah, GA) 912-***-**** ofc / 912-***-**** cell, that included him transferring 2 million dollars of the Union’s funds to be approved for a loan to purchase and build his existing place of residence valued over a million dollars along with an additional loan to purchase a dump truck for his side business, P&K Trucking. The loan officer at Queensborough was Dexter Stevenson. Paul Mosley also resides as a Board Member of Queensborough Bank where he also used his influence to negotiate the transaction. The other unapproved transfer/transaction was with Wells Fargo Bank where millions were transferred by he and William Robinson to an equity account without Executive Board Approval or Recommendation, Union Members Approval, and Recommendation from the Union’s Investment Consultant, David Wojic 847-***-**** cell, 312-***-**** ofc (Segal Consultants). We understand that Paul Mosley has illegally leveraged the Unions Funds to gain personal loans from each bank for his personal use. We understand that this transaction may have also led to another dump truck being financed for his business.- P&K Trucking.

Paul Mosley and William Robinson are also involved in illegal use of the Union’s Credit Card by making unapproved and unauthorized travel transactions and personal purchases not business related. They travel at will without Union Membership Approval. They travel on unnecessary trips each week resulting in them being away more than what we are paying them for in their elected positions. They spend “OUR” money as if it is theirs! Unauthorized First Class airline tickets are being purchased with the Union Card but the Union is not being reimbursed for the cost of a coach fare ticket. Please contact Mrs. Khadeejah Elliot (the local’s business manager / lead secretary) for further details and all reporting.

The Union’s General Bank Accounts have been hacked and compromised several times under the rule of William Robinson and this administration. A fraudulent check was created and cashed on the account each time. This was never reported and presented in any Financial Report to the Members of the Union. We personally feel it was covered up because it was an inside job. We are aware of the President, Financial Secretary Treas, and other Full-Time Officers stealing time from the Union by submitting time sheets to be paid for their days off. They are also illegally authorizing workers of the union who are not full-time officers or administrative staff, free and ghosting hours paid. The Recording Secretary, Brandon Baxter works as a Hiring Officer for the Union at midnight most nights while also working as a laborer for the shipping company

- Gateway. This is forbidden as you can’t be on 2 payrolls at the same time - double dipping / ghosting. Others are allowed to do the same during this midnight hiring session as well. Pres Mosley, Fin Sec Treas Robinson, Rec Sec Baxter and other Exec Board Members are also traveling on Union Business and often leave a day early without checking out of the hotel to guarantee that they get paid for that final day and get reimbursed for expenses on that day. Please review travel receipts and hotel records confirming departure dates with Mrs. Elliott, Office Manager - Local 1414.

We are also aware that Recording Sec Baxter is instructed by Pres Mosley and Will Robinson to give a certain set of books when asked by auditing organizations. Please request and require him to provide both sets)

There is a lot of service work being done to our Union Hall and Property that was illegally authorized and awarded to a company owned by President Paul Mosley and Co-Chairman Stanley Mosley Jr’s Father who’s name is Stanley Mosley Sr. This approval requires three bids from contractors with the lowest bid winning. This did not happen and was never brought to the Union Membership for Approval. Many members are aware of it as we know his father and have had conversations with him during these projects. Interior offices have been painted and completely remodeled as well as exterior painting and resurfacing. We have an inside track that has revealed kick backs to the individual officers involved in the awarding of the contracts. We have been told by lower card seniority personnel that William Robinson and Paul Mosley, conducted a lending and bribing operation during the election period to gain votes. They paid for non-members to join the membership by paying their Union Dues in exchange of their votes. The Union Funds are used each year to host a Christmas Party in amounts that exceed

$100,000 where Union Members and any other attendees are charged the full price of a ticket to enter. The amount of money received, far exceeds expenses but none of it is returned to the membership’s bank accounts. There is never a financial report given on the transactions to reveal the flow of the funds to intentionally cover up the theft. When asking Fin Sec Treas Robinson and Pres Mosley about proper and accurate reporting, it is met with anger and opposition and eventually avoided. Two years ago, Brian Green, Union Member and Christmas Party Staff Member was responsible for selling over

$6,500 in tickets for a table. He received the funds from the individuals who paid for the seats but never turned in the money to the Union’s Fin Sec William Robinson. This was covered up and never revealed to the Membership and no charges were ever filed. To date the money has not been recovered. (Please contact former Board Member and Christmas Party Staff Member - Joseph Williams 912-***-****)

Brian Green is working as a Powered Industrial Truck Trainer (PIT) for the Union where he has admitted that he and Pres Paul Mosley were leveraging spots on the list to be trained by charging thousands of dollars to individuals who wanted to get certified to drive the Jockey Truck. (Please contact former PIT trainee and current Board Member - Charles Barnwell 912-***-**** for verification)

President Mosley has leveraged his Union positions for years by charging individuals thousands of dollars to gain a work card and ghosting hours.

(Please contact - Greg Smiley (currently incarcerated - indictment / drug charges); Monteko Scott (currently incarcerated - indictment / drug charges); James Burton 912-***-**** - currently released and employed ILA 1414 - indictment / drug charges); Japheth Orr 912-***-**** - recently released on drug charges and currently waiting to be re-employed at ILA 1414. Hal Jenkins

912-***-****- indicted on drug charges but currently working as Lineman Header for ILA 1414 who mentioned Paul Mosley as a serious person of interest in his proffer statements to the Govt as a condition of his cooperation. Pres Mosley has run a very sophisticated illegal racketeering operation for years while serving in his official position and capacities of the ILA where he had full control of all hiring activities. He has also been seen driving his personal company’s (P&K Trucking) dump truck during ILA daytime work hours where he was getting paid to work as the President of Local 1414. The investigation into this should reveal the logging hours for the company owned by a gentleman named ASA who controls the contracts where asphalt was hauled to REEVES ASPHALT PLANT.

In closing, We the Members of ILA Local 1414 are asking that you seize control of the local, start investigating immediately and protect the integrity of the case and those mentioned to be contacted. It is also our request that these officers be removed permanently and our local be put under Trusteeship. At this point we are desperate and without hope as the system has failed us. We feel that it is a matter of Trust and Safety for our jobs and personal lives as to why we can no longer TRUST the internal process and individuals within this organization. Many of our members have withdrawn their Union Memberships to avoid any more of their money being used to support such a corrupt organization locally as we pay 5% in local dues. With the volume of work here and number of employees dispatched to work on a daily basis, the amount exceeds several hundreds of thousands monthly and several million annually. We are TRUSTING that you move accordingly and expeditiously with ILA local 1414.

Sincerely,

Members of ILA Local 1414
