an Executive Session at 7:40<br />

following his tenure as the<br />

Mr. Griffin joined the law<br />
firm of Bredhoff & Kaiser<br />
in Washington DC. Mr.<br />
Powers stated that the IUOE<br />
has entered into a retainer<br />
agreement with the law firm<br />
allowing for Mr. Griffin to<br />
provide consultation and<br />
advice to the IUOE subject<br />
to any conflict of interest<br />
limitations imposed by<br />
the federal government<br />
for departing employees.<br />
Mr. Griffin noted his deep<br />
appreciation to General<br />
President Callahan to<br />
graciously allow him to<br />
accept his appointment<br />
by President Obama to a<br />
position of NLRB Board<br />
member in 2012 after 28<br />
years with the IUOE legal<br />
department. He stated that<br />
he looks forward to working<br />
with General Counsel Brian<br />
Powers and the IUOE legal<br />
staff to assist the IUOE in<br />
any way he can. President<br />
Callahan welcomed Mr.<br />
Griffin back to the IUOE,<br />
and he noted that requests<br />
to utilize Dick Griffin should<br />
be made through General<br />
Counsel Powers. Mr. Griffin<br />
thanked General President<br />
Callahan and the General<br />
Executive Board and then<br />
excused himself from the<br />
meeting.<br />
General President Callahan<br />
then reminded the General<br />
Executive Board that the<br />
supplemental pension for<br />
former General President<br />
Giblin had to be approved<br />
on an annual basis. He<br />
called on John Loughry to<br />

seconded, and unanimously<br />
adopted to approve the<br />
pension for another year.<br />
