I am a Local 1955 member asking for clarity on the contract voting process. We were told members would have time to review the contract, five voting days, and in-person access. Last time ElectionBuddy helped produce over 1,100 votes. We want ElectionBuddy and in-person voting available again so the process is fair, accessible, and transparent.

SPFPA President David L. Hickey in a wheelchair really knows how to pick his SPFPA Directors and representatives. Above in the first picture is his handpicked appointed former SPFPA Washington DC Director Assane Faye founder of the United Security and Police Officers of America union. Faye was convicted of two counts of embezzlement and seven counts of mail fraud. Assane was sentenced to 37 months for his crimes.

On July 31, Dianne Drawdy, former financial secretary of Security, Police and Fire Professionals Local 576 in Baxley, Georgia, pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Georgia to embezzling union funds in the amount of $17,900. She had been charged in April following an investigation by the U.S. Labor Department’s Office of Labor-Management Standards.
