But USWA Local President John Cirri was the source of the July 10 post -- as noted repeatedly in the post.

When information goes out of this plant which states this or that is shutting down at some time in the future our customers get scared off. We lose orders. I suggest unlike your book you please call someone involved in the Union currently like President Cirri or myself, who is the Grievance Committeemen for that area. I think it is great that people want to hear about the Point but I would just like the facts to be correct. Just like this group who is making claims about Sparrows Point not doing their part for the environment which is false. I wish you could see Mr. Donnelly's yard where you can't even find the back yard to sit in it due to the junked leaking oil cars and uncut grass. I showed at one of this groups meeting when the Seirra club was with them and after taking the floor and explaining to everyone in attendance that the Seirra Club entered into a joint agreement call the Blue Green aliance they backed out of the support for Mr, Donnelly's group. The Blue green alliance is a program as I stated at one of their meeting to find ways for Industry and the enviroment allong with the people find ways to co-exist with each other. No one from that group wants to do that. All they want is a quick buck and or to shut the plant down as Johnnie O stated at a meeting with them to bring there property values up to all time record highs. Unbelievable. If you sat back and looked at all the businesses and people that would be hurt by shutting this plant down we are talking thousands. This plant alone is one of the highest payers of tax money for this area along with being the biggest employer also. Our Local is the largest Union Local in the tri-state area.
