Art Del Cueto – EXPERIENCE YOU CAN TRUST

My name is Art Del Cueto and I am running for the position of Local 2544 President, a position I have held for the last two terms. Some of you already know me and others do not. I have been a union steward for our Local since 2004. I have held a position on the Executive Board since 2007 and have been President of our Local since 2012. I have filed Union grievances at every step and negotiated 3A notices to bargain at the Local and National level. I have dedicated myself to this Local since my EOD. I have never put in for a Highlights transfer out of sector like my opponent recently has (his transfer was denied). President, 2012 - I led the charge for a Local endorsement of President which in turn led to a present National endorsement that has fruitfully given us a seat at the President’s table for agents’ rights and immigration-related policies. I have testified on the agents’ behalf before Vice President, Congress. I have forged relationships with politicians such as Martha McSally, Andy 2007 - 2012 Biggs, John McCain, , former Governor Jan Brewer, current senatorial candidate Kelli Ward, and President Donald Trump. I am also proud and honored to have been endorsed by every Chief Steward in Local Steward, 2004 - 2544. I have held numerous managers accountable and I’m not afraid to call them out when they mistreat 2007 members. I personally monitor the Local’s hotline 24/7.

Now, I have to address my opponent’s baseless accusations against the Local. First, Mr. Singer questions the Numerous: UBS account that houses some of our monetary assets. Assets were placed into the UBS account by the Grievances members after a vote at a membership meeting years ago. If Mr. Singer had attended more than three general membership meetings he would know why we have the account. The UBS account is a low risk, low yield Arbitrations investment account that invests in bonds, mutual funds, and certificates of deposit. The strategy is simple. Any one bank account is only federally insured by the FDIC up to $250,000.00. So instead of maintaining multiple Demands to bank accounts our assets are safeguarded and streamlined in one account. The account is managed by the Local Bargain along with a licensed financial advisor. The account is just like your TSP. All gains are automatically reinvested into the fund. If Mr. Singer had any experience he would know this. A treasurer’s report is presented and 3A Notices approved at every general membership meeting. EEO Disbursements (reported on LM reports) have to be backed by receipts and proof of payment. This standard is Representation enforced by the Treasurer, two independent CPA firms, a yearly financial review submitted to AFGE, the Department of Labor and finally, the Internal Revenue Service. Multiple layers are in place to protect your 30-45 Day money and assets, including those that are self-imposed. Suspensions My opponent has been launching one false allegation after another for months now that attack me and several DUI Cases good, honest people he has never met and about whom he knows nothing. His allegations are not only despicable, they are just regurgitations from past elections that have been repeatedly disproven for many years. Represented The attacks are obviously designed to stir up discontent and suspicion, but they are dead wrong. The fact that he agents at: raises them again is proof that he does not know how our union works and he does not know about our internal and external system of checks and balances, DOL oversight and audits. Instead, he spreads fake news to cover OIG, DOJ/FBI, up his lack of experience and accomplishments. He is running a “Hope and Change” campaign so he doesn’t ATF, OPR, CBP-IA, have to answer questions about his membership in a competing union, his decision to join NBPC in 2016 just so he could participate in a back-pay lawsuit and about how the Casa Grande stewards have rejected his attempts to DOL be a steward because he appears to be focused on his own interests and not those of the members. Other When someone says, “trust me, I’m honest and trustworthy” and then spews false allegations in the same letter, it raises questions about his so-called attributes. Perhaps his true attributes are Greenline co-host being a carpetbagger, dissembler, and snake oil salesman. “Trust me. I FB Page Founder haven’t spent a day helping my fellow members but I can cure all the union’s ills, which I will detail to you after the election.” Sounds like a buyer beware Newsletter Editor situation to me. But be careful if you challenge him. He’ll accuse you of “intimidation” and “bullying tactics.” Well, I’m sorry, but I’m not wired to 2544 Youtube lay down and take a beating without fighting back, so he can call it whatever Founder he wants. My opponent simply has absolutely nothing substantive to say besides “I’m not Art Del Cueto.” Well, I am Art Del Cueto and I am proud of Cell phone my accomplishments in representing you. contract for Follow me at https://m.facebook.com/Arturo-Del-Cueto-for-local-2544- members President-265342086923322/
