Just heard a "rumor" that Jerry Tuso has resigned from PATCO. Anyone else heard this? If it is true maybe he is gittin' out while the gittin' is good...lol

Well if its true, hopefully we get someone who is more vocal to us on what the union is doing to help us, and doesn't tell us to do the footwork to try and keep the program from being scrapped.

I'm not a PATCO person, but if I were and this is true, I'd be singing "Ding Dong the Witch is Dead" from what I've heard directly from a couple of different sites that are affiliated with them. He, interestingly, seems to do work for some, but nothing for others as far as negotiations (or lack thereof) go.

It's time to ignore coco when he posts a bellyache about Jerry Tuso & PATCO. We all know he hates 'em. I'd appreciate it greatly if he would stop blowing smoke at us. Does he really think he's being funny or having some influence for/against PATCO? He deceives only himself. As for those who think PATCO isn't communicating or doing anything: try calling Jerry - he usually answers his phone, and always returns messages; the "Bottomline" is his communication if everything is going reasonably well, tel calls & email if things are happening. We are quite satisfied with PATCO. Jerry is still with us.

He didn't mention it when I talked to him yesterday - first about organizing another station, then asked him directly about retirement - he wanted info on this website, and denied retiring. I'll believe it when we get official notice.

Just read on Facebook that Jerry Tuso sent a letter out stating he will "no longer be our contact and representative as of Feb 7th". New union contact will be Sam Neimeiser. So....there you are toofarnorth...like I said many times before...he talks out of both sides of his mouth...tells you what you want to hear and then does something just the opposite....lol

Ding dong, the witch is dead! I love that and it is very fitting. Everyone paying dues deserves to be represented equally and fairly. Jerry was rude and unprofessional so many times to me and several others that were his union reps over a 2 decade span. His personal attacks in emails blindsided me and several other kind people I've worked with.

Google searched the name- got the name of a FL delegate in 2012 Dem convention, and whose dad works for PATCO. Not sure what that says if anything.

I did hear that going forward the sites that get Jerry the better retirement gifts will be treated better. LOL

I called FPD - they said Jerry is retiring this year, date unknown. Sam is being groomed to take his place. Jerry is getting bombed with tel calls... I suggested they send out an email when they know something concrete.

Jerry just called me back. He "will be with PATCO forever". He will be scaling back some of his workload and turning some of his sites over to Sam. Date not given. Doesn't sound like he wants to retire. His heart is still with serving our Union.
