Dear Brother Engel:

I have been informed that you have posted a notice on your web site that appears to have been put out by Teamsters Joint Council No. 7. I am enclosing a copy of the notice that appears on the screen.

If you are responsible for the posting of this notice, I am writing to inform you that it is not only unauthorized by the Joint Council, but constitutes a misuse of and infringement upon the Joint Council's identifying format. People viewing the notice will understand it to be a notice published by the Joint Council, which it is not. As such, the notice constitutes a misrepresentation to the viewer. The smaller print stating that the document is "unofficial" and that it is sponsored by "The Steward" does not detract from the appearance that it is a Joint Council No. 7 document.

Please accept this letter as a demand that the notice be removed immediately. Noncompliance with this demand will result in charges against you under the I.B.T. Constitution, and possible legal action as well.

Fraternally yours,
 

Rome Aloise
