VP On TrialMy lawyer is gonna kill
me . My accusers dont
have any evidence but
this article is going to
give them exactly what
they need. Im accusedof recording the December 1st union
meeting and posting it on my website
for everyone to hear. Im also accused
of passing out meeting minutes. The
problem is that my accuser dont have an
iota of proof. My website is registered in
Zimbabwe somewhere, to an anonymous
person. The Facebook Page could just be
a fan, and just because you see a piece
of paper that was supposedly written by
Aarik Kimberlin doesnt mean that Aarik
Kimberlin wrote it.
For those of you who are wondering what
the hell I am talking about in the rst place,
let catch you up to what happened. In
November, I ran for Vice President. The
election got pretty, lets say, competitive
and I faced the Retiree, Don Catell in a
run off. Don was backed by our President,
Malana Hubbard as well as other members
of the what I like to call Old Guard or O.G.
Despite the lies, despite the fact that
people campaigned against me on union
on time, despite the fact people used union
resources to campaign against me, youguys voted me in.
Not only did you guys vote me in you voted
again the membership threw a monkey
wrench in their plans. So the O.G.s just
did like they alway do and came up with
new plans. And thats what brings us to
today--their plan. Their plan, just like all of
the rest of their plans, is not a very goodone but Ill explain it to you anyway.
First off, I did not record the union meeting
Nor did I have anyone else record the
meeting for me. Someone posted a link
to the recording on the Win the Fight
Facebook page. I then, posted the link onto
my website. All of the feedback that I got
on the Facebook Page and from people on
the shop oor was positive. I thought that
no one would take the time to listen to a
boring meeting and I was actually surprised
at the amount of people who listened to it.
Personally, I think that its a good idea to
record the meetings and allow people free
access to them. Many people have had
difculty making union meetings because
of our work schedule, because of nance,
and because the O.G.s have not been
really motivated to get people released for
union days.
The person who recorded the meeting did
it as a response to these conditions, not
with any malice or sneakiness.They just
wanted to provide people with access tomeetings. People see privacy differently
in our time then they did in the O.G.s

Whats Next?
Article 31 of the UAW constitiutiondeals with trials of members. Ihave already been charged and the the
Local Union Executive Board voted 4-3
to hold a trial. My next step is to appeal
the Local Executive Boards decision
to the Interanational President. I be-
lieve that my appeal will be upheld and
the charges will be dropped.
However, at the next Union Meetingthe membership can vote to suspend
me by a two-thirds vote (2/3) so I need
everyone who can, to show up at the
meeting January 26. Another thing that
can happen is that Paul Quick, Jessi-
ca Phillips, and Royale Thompson, the
members who charged me can decide
to drop the charges any time the feel
like it. So we will have to wait and see if
they can put politics aside and do what
is right for the Local.
