The Treasurer’s role now is to dredge the riverbed: test every gate, trace every current, and chart where the missing waters went. Only through structured forensic testing and transparent reporting to the Executive Board can the current run clear again.

Every river, no matter how vast, depends on balance. Too many dams and the waters stagnate; too few and it floods the valley. Within a labor organization, that balance is maintained through segregation of duties, independence in oversight, and mutual respect between union staff and the elected executive board.
