WHO REALLY WROTE THIS Facebook Post? Former (Removed by the SPFPA International) SPFPA Local 1955 Pres. Jonathan James Mares-nieves above or Acting SPFPA Local 1955 Pres. Patrick Lemos below?


"What's My Line?" in 1961 was a popular CBS panel game show where celebrity panelists guessed contestants' occupations and identified mystery guests while blindfolded.
Overview of the Show
"What's My Line?" was a panel game show that aired from 1950 to 1967 on CBS, hosted by John Charles Daly. The format involved four celebrity panelists asking yes-or-no questions to determine the occupation of ordinary contestants or the identity of a weekly celebrity "mystery guest" while blindfolded. Regular panelists in 1961 included Dorothy Kilgallen, Arlene Francis, Bennett Cerf, and occasionally Shelley Berman or Faye Emerson when Kilgallen was unavailable due to injury. Episodes were typically prerecorded, and the show won multiple Emmy Awards and a Golden Globe during its run.

This is now an "open forum" as you can see it's been changed when charges got brought to our NEW "elected president" Now who is president ? Why do we get some questions answered ? No need for explanations cause we know we won't get that. But who's active president for our union right now? As an "elected shop steward" won my votes fairly . Why aren't we knowing the basics? You guys want everyone to support you guys as a board? But only when is convenient for you guys . I love the job I do.But it's sad now how you can see how people really are as humans and just wanting things to be for them. This isn't okay. Literally asking for one thing who's the active president ? That's it . That shouldn't be a secret . But since it's an open forum, I guess it doesn't have to be answered. Have a good day everyone . This is just so disappointing . I have respect for all of you , don't forget that. And we voted for you guys .. so please do something different

Linda Carrell
Jonathan, we’d all like to know if you’re back. It’s a yes or no question- or is it?
Jonathan James Mares-nieves
Linda Carrell nothing has been told to me as of yet.
So for now it is a no.
In another conversation below:
I appreciate you sharing now, during the voting and immediately after, the membership was looking for support and direction from their president and you stayed silent with no words of encouragement or support. Can you explain why this happened and how you now are coming forward but how can you expect people to believe in you when no charges have been filed against you and nothing from the rest of the local board or international, and in the final days before the third vote for a TA co tract that no information has been given to the membership, you post a Facebook message about negotiations being completed and an agreement being reached when you have been left out of the process the entire time. How does that happen? Full transparency is not a word in this union’s vocabulary unfortunately and that is what the membership has been asking for.
Jonathan James Mares-nieves
you’re implying members are blaming me for getting suspended, no longer trust me for being suspended, and now I’m lying about being suspended?. If you’ve been staying up to date as I’m sure you have been, you would have seen that I stated I would be attending Negotiations.
So I am posting based off the information I received.
Once I am made aware that I am the president again I will more than eagerly let the members know.
That has not happened. So chill out.

Anthony Montero
Mathew Bailey how can negotiations be complete if the union has no further information? Did the company negotiate with itself?
Jonathan James Mares-nieves
Anthony Montero doing so prior to receiving any paperwork from the company can be considered us negotiating in bad faith. Let’s wait until tomorrow 🙂
FACT CHECK: This is a LIE! Releasing what has been negotiated is NOT Bad Faith Bargaining. Obviously, Johnatan has NO Idea what he is talking about and doesn't know Labor Law!

How can Jonathan make the above statement when he is NO longer the President of SPFPA Local 1955? He has NO Power he has been removed from office!

The look on the 1,600 frustrated Disneyland SPFPA Local 1955 members faces after they find out that both acting SPFPA Local 1955 President Patrick Lemos & Former (Removed by the SPFPA International) SPFPA Local 1955 Pres. Jonathan James Mares-nieves wrote the same exact messages.
WHO REALLY WROTE THESE TWO EXACT MESSAGES? Patrick Lemos or Jonathan James Mares-nieves?
Neither? Maybe it was SPFPA Region 3 Vice President Ryan Kelly?
Maybe this EXPLAINS WHY they can't answer the simplest questions answered and we are being provided the WRONG Information!
