JUANITA 'NITA' MORENO

President

Nita, the 'Queen of Hearts', fell into the office of Local President because nobody else wanted it. Her claim to fame? As the self styled 'earth mother' to the sick, lame and lazy they flock to her side. Got a grievance? Here, have some milk and cookies and it will all be better soon!

How does she get the members at meetings to buy what she is selling? It is simple; Time off the job with pay and pizza! Lots of it. Serve it and they will come! If she needs the votes, the menu is tastier than pizza!

During the 'Montoya regime' Juanita was a loud defender of member's (read her) rights. She filed complaints with the National Labor Relations Board about the way she was treated [click hear for a sample]. What you see below is "authentic union gibberish". The words are hollow and empty of meaning!
