Description
IBEW Local 1547, USA - a union in Alaska that is supposed to provide safety and protect the rights of electric utility and communications workers, local officials, health care workers, and many other professionals. Safety - failed. Protection of rights - wasted. The union has failed in its primary task of doing everything it can to protect the people who put their trust in it. Bottom line - all the personal information of union members was in the public domain. In addition, the published date contains financial documents and corporate letters - all of which constitute restricted information. The budget and other financial documents show signs of stealing money from the union's coffers. All of this combined could result in huge fines and a loss of reputation and trust among union members. The consequences of publishing the date could set off a chain of effects that could lead to the dissolution of the organization.
