Mr. Luis Ramos, Treasurer
UNITE HERE METROPOLITAN DISTRIBUTION
AND TRUCKING JOINT BOARD
18 Washington Place
Newark, New Jersey 07102

Ms. Kerber and Mr. Ramos :

This office has recently completed an audit of UNITE HERE METROPOLITAN DISTRIBUTION AND TRUCKING JOINT BOARD under the Compliance Audit Program (CAP) to determine your organization’s compliance with the provisions of the Labor-Management Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959 (LMRDA). As discussed during the exit interview with you on January 27, 2009 no violations of the LMRDA were disclosed in areas of financial activity included in the CAP. This does not exhaust all possible problem areas, however, since the audit conducted was limited in scope and did not include all areas of your union’s operation.

I want to extend my personal appreciation to for the cooperation and courtesy extended during this compliance audit. I strongly recommend that you make sure this letter and the compliance assistance materials provided to you are passed on to future officers. If we can provide any additional assistance, please do not hesitate to call.

Sincerely,
