“Conflict Of Interest” Charge Leveled In IATSE Local 871 Elections
Deadline: The election of officers and board members at IATSE Local 871 is heating up with three weeks to go until ballots are counted. Presidential candidate Crystal Hopkins told Deadline that her opponent, Doug Boney, has a “conflict of interest” that makes him “unable to be a full-time representative of our local.” Boney claims that Hopkins’ “vague and inaccurate statement may be due to her lack of experience in union governance.”

just sounds like a mess. I am very glad that this election is not happening anywhere near me or the places that I work regularly. The drama that is brought up here makes me think that the situation is a no-brainer and that it is very cut and dry. However, this makes me think that there could also be some information laying in the background that makes the situation feel slimy. I do have to agree with those in the article that says it would be a conflict of interest to be the business agent that is a paid position and at the same time the president for another union that is an unpaid position. One would hope that they would elect someone from there own ranks and who would have more of an investment and undivided attention to give to the position. I truly look forward to following up on this article in the weeks to come and see how it all turns out.
